Take on the toughest trails with confidence in the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v9. Designed for off-road runners who demand durability, comfort, and grip, this latest iteration delivers a perfect balance of plush cushioning and rugged performance. Whether tackling rocky paths, steep inclines, or muddy trails, the Hierro v9 ensures you stay comfortable, supported, and protected mile after mile.
Advanced Cushioning for a Smooth Ride
At the heart of the Hierro v9 is Fresh Foam X midsole technology, New Balance’s most advanced cushioning system, designed to provide unrivalled softness and responsiveness. The dual-density midsole offers a plush feel underfoot while maintaining the stability needed for unpredictable terrain. This means you get both shock absorption and energy return, helping you stay fresh and comfortable even on long-distance trail runs.
Superior Grip with Vibram® Megagrip Outsole
For enhanced traction and durability, the Hierro v9 features a Vibram® Megagrip outsole with an upgraded tread pattern and 6mm lugs. This high-performance outsole delivers maximum grip on wet and dry surfaces, allowing you to confidently navigate steep descents, slippery trails, and loose gravel. The deep lugs provide additional stability, ensuring every stride is secure no matter the conditions.
Trail-Ready Protection & Breathability
Designed for rugged environments, the Toe Protect technology adds an extra layer of defence against sharp rocks, roots, and debris, keeping your feet safe from unexpected obstacles. Meanwhile, the engineered knit upper is lightweight and breathable, preventing overheating while maintaining a snug and supportive fit. A gusseted tongue enhances comfort while keeping dirt and small stones out, so you can focus on your run without distractions.
