FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking as well as running?
Yes, the Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 provides excellent comfort and grip, making them suitable for hiking on moderate to challenging terrain in addition to trail running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be comfortably snug.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While they can be used for short road sections to connect trails, they are primarily designed for off-road performance. The tread pattern may wear faster on pavement, and the cushioning is optimized for trail impact.
How often should I replace my trail running shoes?
Trail running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles (500-800 kilometers). Look for signs of wear like a flattened midsole, worn-out tread, or a loss of cushioning and support.
What is the main benefit of the Fresh Foam X cushioning?
Fresh Foam X provides a soft yet responsive cushioning system that absorbs impact effectively, offering comfort over long distances and reducing fatigue on uneven terrain.
Is the outsole material durable?
Yes, the Vibram® outsole is known for its exceptional durability and resistance to abrasion, providing reliable traction and longevity on rugged trails.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris. Over time, wear on the outsole can also reduce grip; consider replacement if significantly worn.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Adjust the lacing for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe size or width is correct for your foot.
Upper material feels too warm
This is an engineered mesh designed for breathability. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. For very hot conditions, lighter trail running shoes might be considered, but this model offers a good balance for most temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 comes ready to wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit before your first run. It is recommended to wear appropriate performance socks for optimal comfort and moisture management.
Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed for trail running. They are compatible with various sock types and can be used with most running insoles if additional arch support is required.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and debris with a dry brush. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes completely away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
