FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While the Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 can be used on roads, they are primarily designed for trail running and hiking. The outsole is optimized for grip on uneven surfaces.

How do I clean the shoes?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.

What is the lifespan of these shoes?

The lifespan depends on usage and care. Typically, trail running shoes last for 300-500 miles. Regularly inspect the soles for wear.

Are these shoes true to size?

Most customers find that the shoes fit true to size. However, it's recommended to consult the New Balance size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

Choose moisture-wicking socks to help keep your feet dry and comfortable. Consider socks specifically designed for trail running or hiking.

Can I use these shoes in winter?

Yes, the GORE-TEX® lining provides good protection against the elements, making them suitable for winter use. Ensure you have appropriate socks for warmth.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces or replacing the insole for a better fit. Allow for some break-in time.

Water is leaking into the shoes.

Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX® lining. Ensure the shoes are properly laced. Consider using a waterproofing spray.
