These shoes are very very comfortable! As long as you are use to 8mm heel stack then you’re fine. Also the toe box is wider than any of the brooks I tried on. My issue was I was not use to the 8mm heel stack and couldn’t get use to it for standing around at my job. I usually buy two pair of shoes. One for hiking and one for daily use. As someone who is coming from Altra, I wanted to find a shoe that lasted longer. If you know altra, you know they have never been reliable. Mine never got more than 150miles on them before the midsole flattened. These are a GREAT alternative to altra if you can get use to the heel stack. I myself went with the speed goats due to them being 4mm. BUT I am going to try to transition up to these. Yes that fresh foam is just so nice and ... MoreThese shoes are very very comfortable!

And that Vibram tread is so grippy and tough.

I mostly like these shoes. I initially had some trouble with heel lockdown in my normal size, which surprised me because I’ve run predominantly in New Balance for years. (Disclosure: I bought these as everyday sneakers for winter use, not for trail running.) I was eventually able to resolve the heel slippage through lacing, though the shoes’ overall fit is quite a bit roomier throughout the shoe than New Balance’s road running shoes like the 880 or 1080. These are extremely comfortable with lots of midsole cushioning and a great Vibram outsole that provides excellent grip on a wide variety of surfaces, wet and dry. I am slightly concerned by the upper’s durability, however. After about a month of wear there are numerous threads sticking out from where the fabric ... MoreI mostly like these shoes.

I’ve trimmed the threads, but I’m really hoping these shoes hold up over time.

I've mainly worn these for casual wear and some walking but nothing major yet. I bought them for hiking and walking in the Pacific Northwest where it's almost impossible to keep white shoes white. Anyway, the vibram soles are great. The shoes are comfortable, light weight and bouncy. They look better on my feet than I thought they would. However just after a couple of weeks and they are already showing signs of wear. That is with them in rotation with 3 other pairs of shoes at times. Also, there is a pad sewn into the tongue which I had to adjust the lacing for because it made the fit across the top of my foot tight. In summary, they are great shoes that I would consider buying again but I'm not sure how durable they are going to be. Check back in a few months from ...

This is my first pair of NB shoes. I primarily use them for hiking here in northern Arizona. The Fresh Foam is softer than what I prefer but is tolerable. One thing I really like about them is that the footbed is flat, not curved, with the lacing holding my feet securely. The toe box is too narrow but again is tolerable. The upper is thin and comfortable but according to some (my wife), looks a bit wrinkled. There's a flap on the sole at the heel which doesn't seem to be necessary but doesn't cause any problems. Initially there was a problem with heel lock but as the the shoes have loosened up they are much more secure. I need a wide and the shoe is wider throughout the footbed but I would prefer a wide forefoot and narrow heel. That about wraps it up. Good shoes, ... MoreThis is my first pair of NB shoes.

These New Balance Foam Fresh X Hierro v7 Trail Running shoes are so incredibly light weight, sturdy, good looking, well fitting and unbelievably comfortable, it's amazing ! No pronation, supreme cushioning. The tongue is sewn in place so it doesn't slide all around. The eyelets are very solid and easy to thread your laces. Has a large heel tab to grab to pull your shoes on quickly. And have I mentioned just how comfortable the cushioning is ?!!! I am so impressed with New Balance, that I ordered another pair in a different color combo. Try them on for comfort and see what I mean ! You'll get a pair too !
I bought a pair of these to wear at work. After a week of wear they started having fibers break and stick out of the sides (see photo).The shoes are quite comfortable and the vibram soles grip well. If these shoes could not handle regular work wear they will not be able to handle trail running or hiking.The fiber issue seems to be a common problem with these shoes. I also noticed a pair in the ReSupply section of my local REI (see photo) with the same problem.The bottom line: If you can get these shoes at a discount go for it, but at their $140 price point they are too expensive for the poor quality.
These shoes felt so comfortable! I ended up returning them and going for the Brooks Cascadia only because I wasn't sure how durable the upper material would be for rugged trail running. I'm not a hardcore runner, but I was looking specifically for a trail runner shoe. It's possible they would've held up just fine, but I was skeptical, so went for the Cascadia's which seem to be built with a more durable upper material. These could be a fantastic crossover shoe and would be great for light trail running. I still gave them a 5 star because of how comfortable they were, and if you're not intending for them to be a rugged tail shoe, they could be the perfect shoe for you.
I had previously purchased a pair of Hoka One Speedgoat 4s. The traction was amazing but the shoe never got comfortable over 7 hours of hiking (3 different hikes). Out of the box, the Hierro 7s were comfortable as if they were already broken in. I have only done a 1 hour hike / run in them but the conditions were both technical and wet / muddy. The shoes did well on boulders and in gripping while descending down slippery / muddy terrain. The Hokas probably work well for many. I have a normal width foot with a normal to high arch. The NB toe box fits me much better. The Hokas seemed a bit sloppy. I would say the NB fits somewhere in between the Hoka (loose);and Solomon (snug).
I have been living in Keens (Targhee Vents) for years. I've started experiencing knee pain from arthritis and wanted to find a shoe that would be easier on my joints. A very helpful person at my local store - Eugene Oregon - helped me figure out these might help. So far (approximately one month) they seem to be making a difference. I walk everyday, mostly on hard surfaces. These are definitely cushier than the Keens and lighter weight. I haven't yet been able to see how they do on trails, or how breathable compared to the Targhees, both important points for me. From my experience so far, I'd definitely buy them again.
Out of the box, this shoe was comfortable. After wearing for three days, I noticed some of the material starting to peel away from the upper. To avoid the hassle of sending them back, I dabbed some super glue on it to keep it from peeling more. So durability is already a concern. I’m not sure I would wear these hiking or trail running. I feel that after continual days of getting wet, these shoes would start falling apart. I was hoping to find a shoe to replace my Speedgoat 4s. I don’t believe this is the shoe to do that. I will continue to wear them as my everyday shoe, but won’t be wearing them in the woods.
