FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, their cushioned midsole makes them comfortable for long walks, though they are specifically optimized for trail performance.
How should I clean my New Balance Hierro v9 shoes?
Use a soft brush, warm water, and mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane.
Are these shoes breathable?
While they are waterproof, they are designed to balance protection with airflow, but they may be warmer than non-waterproof mesh sneakers.
Can I use custom orthotics with this model?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert your own specialized orthotics if needed.
Do these shoes need a break-in period?
Most users find them comfortable out of the box, but taking them on shorter hikes first is recommended to ensure a proper fit.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoes are laced snugly and that your trousers are positioned over the collar to prevent water runoff from entering the top.
Accumulation of dirt in the outsole tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge debris after the mud has dried, ensuring maximum traction for your next outing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure you pair these shoes with moisture-wicking technical socks to maximize the effectiveness of the waterproof liner. To maintain the shoes, remove loose mud or debris after each hike using a soft brush. If the interior gets wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the cushioning materials. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the waterproofing.
