FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
While they are very comfortable, they are specifically optimized for trail terrain. Using them primarily on pavement may wear down the tread faster.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance Hierro v9 follows standard sizing conventions, but it is best to measure your foot and check the specific size chart for the most accurate fit.
Is the shoe truly waterproof?
The materials are designed to resist water ingress. While effective against rain and mud, they are not intended to be submerged indefinitely.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable and accommodate most aftermarket orthotic inserts.
How long should a pair last?
Longevity depends on frequency of use and terrain harshness, but regular maintenance can significantly extend the life of the cushioning and tread.
Troubleshooting
Outer surface has mud buildup affecting traction
Allow mud to dry and gently brush it away with a dry nylon brush.
Interior feels damp after a hike
Remove the insole and allow the shoe to air dry in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours.
Laces coming undone on the trail
Use a double knot or look into aftermarket locking lace systems for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, we recommend testing these shoes with the specific weight and thickness of the hiking socks you intend to use. When cleaning your shoes after a trail excursion, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and debris from the treads. Avoid submerging the shoes in water for long periods or using harsh detergents. If the exterior gets wet, stuff the interior with newspaper or a dry towel and allow them to air-dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the waterproofing materials.
