FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 is designed for breathability. While they can handle damp grass, they are not classified as fully waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically possible, the outsole lugs are optimized for trails and may wear down faster on hard, paved surfaces.
How often should I replace my trail shoes?
Generally, it is recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of the terrain and your running style.
Do these come in wide widths?
Availability varies by specific retailer; check the product page filters for width options if needed.
How do I clean the upper material?
Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to gently spot clean the upper. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the structural materials.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on technical terrain
Ensure your laces are tightened securely to lock the heel in place, and double-check that you are using the correct size for your foot volume.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Consider using trail gaiters if you frequently run in areas with loose sand or small pebbles to prevent ingress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your New Balance trail shoes, allow your feet to adjust to the cushioning profile with a few shorter outings before attempting high-mileage runs.
Care Instructions:
- Post-Run Cleaning: Remove excess mud or grit after each use by tapping the soles together or using a soft brush.
- Drying: If the shoes get soaked, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper; air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as they can warp the foam.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
