Overview
New Balance built this Hierro trail shoe on a Fresh Foam midsole for deep cushioning and a Vibram outsole for grip. TPU threads reinforce high wear zones, and a bootie upper wraps the foot snugly.
Heavy cushioning plus a grippy outsole makes long miles on rocky trails more comfortable. It lets water in, and weight is not listed.
Who it's for
Runners and fast hikers on rooty, rocky paths get cushioning and toe protection. Those running through creeks or snow need a waterproof model.
Pros and cons
- Very cushioned ride
- Vibram outsole traction
- Toe protection from debris
- Snug bootie fit
- Not water resistant
- Weight not listed
- Bootie fit may feel tight
Performance notes
Traction comes from the Vibram rubber outsole, while the thick foam midsole absorbs impact from rocks underfoot. TPU threads stiffen the upper only where it wears, keeping the rest flexible and light.
