FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking around the city?
Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning and supportive design make them comfortable for everyday wear, though their primary design is for trail performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The best way is to try them on. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers, as it can damage the adhesives and materials. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between the v7 and v8 Hierro models?
The v8 typically features updated midsole compounds and outsole designs for potentially improved performance and durability, though specific updates vary by sub-model (e.g., GTX versions).
Are these waterproof?
The standard Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 is not waterproof. If you require waterproofing, look for models specifically designated as 'GTX' (GORE-TEX).
What is the benefit of the Vibram rubber sole?
Vibram is renowned for its high-performance rubber compounds that offer exceptional durability and superior traction on a wide variety of surfaces, especially in outdoor and demanding conditions.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting the insole. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can also help.
Traction is not as expected on certain surfaces
Ensure the Vibram sole is clean and free of mud or debris, as this can significantly impact grip. For very slick surfaces, always exercise caution.
Feet feel fatigued after a short period
While designed for comfort, ensure you have the correct size and fit. If the issue persists, consider using aftermarket insoles that offer additional arch support or cushioning tailored to your needs.
Upper material feels stiff
The breathable mesh upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase the wear time. Flexing the shoe by hand can also help soften the material.
