FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 model is designed for breathability and is not inherently waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can handle short road transitions, the outsole is specifically designed for trail surfaces and will wear faster on abrasive pavement.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes are available in UK adult sizes. It is recommended to size them similarly to your standard athletic footwear.
Are they suitable for high-arch feet?
The neutral design of the Fresh Foam X provides versatility, but many users with high arches benefit from the generous cushioning of this model.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and foam of the shoe. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Feeling debris inside the shoe during trail runs
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly and consider wearing gaiters if the trail is particularly sandy or gravel-heavy.
Mud accumulation in the outsole lugs
Once dry, use a soft-bristled brush to clear the gaps between the lugs to restore full traction performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you have selected your correct UK adult size, as a proper fit is essential for trail stability. Break in the shoes on shorter, flatter walks before attempting technical, long-distance hikes to allow the foam and upper to contour to your foot. To care for your shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after muddy excursions to remove debris from the lugs. Allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded place; avoid placing them directly near heat sources or in a clothes dryer, as excessive heat can degrade the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives.
