FAQs
Is the Hierro v9 suitable for road running?
While intended for trails, the cushioning is comfortable enough for short transition sections on road, though the outsole is optimized for off-road durability.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
You should have approximately a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Hierro v9 features a breathable polyester upper, which is designed for ventilation rather than waterproofing.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity and terrain of your runs.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, the factory insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Adjust the lacing tension or replace the factory insole with one tailored to your specific arch profile.
Mud accumulation on the outsole
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove debris from the grooves once the mud has dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hierro v9 shoes, always ensure they are laced securely to match your specific foot arch before starting your run. These shoes are compatible with standard aftermarket insoles if additional arch support is required. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying. Instead, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the foam midsole.
