FAQs
What type of runner is the Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for adult male runners with a neutral gait who run on technical trail terrains. They offer a good balance of cushioning and traction for training and competition.
How does the Fresh Foam X midsole contribute to performance?
The Fresh Foam X midsole provides a soft, cushioned feel that helps absorb impact, reducing fatigue during long runs and enhancing comfort on rugged trails.
Is the Vibram® Megagrip outsole suitable for all trail conditions?
Yes, the Vibram® Megagrip outsole is known for its superior traction on both wet and dry surfaces, making it highly effective across a wide variety of trail conditions.
What does a 4mm drop mean for my running form?
A 4mm drop means there is a 4mm difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. This promotes a more natural foot strike and a responsive feel, but may require an adaptation period for runners accustomed to shoes with a higher drop.
How should I clean my Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth and mild soap for stains. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals to preserve the shoe's integrity.
What is the weight of these shoes?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If they feel tight, try lacing them differently. If they feel loose, check if the laces are tightened adequately.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
While the Vibram® Megagrip offers excellent traction, performance can be affected by wear and tear. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris.
Discomfort during initial runs.
The 4mm drop may require an adjustment period. Gradually increase the distance you run in them. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a running specialist.
Upper material shows signs of wear.
Avoid abrasive contact with sharp objects on trails. Clean gently as per care instructions. Minor scuffs are normal for trail footwear.

- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during the drying process.
