Having tried, all manner of boots, shoes and various types of sports shoe, for the second year I have worn the New Balance Hierro shoe with Vibram sole for a 100km walking event on tarmac, concrete and trails.The shoe performed fantastically, again, and in combination with twin skin socks resulted in zero rub points, zero blisters and overheating or moisture issues regardless of higher than average temperatures. The heal cup fitted perfectly keeping the shoe connected to just the right extent and complimented by the stability and flex within the footbed of the shoe.The outer material was superb in managing moisture control but remained brilliantly supportive with just the right amount of movement available throughout the event to maintain side/width support ... MoreHaving tried, all manner of boots, shoes and various types of sports shoe, for the second year I have worn the New Balance Hierro shoe with Vibram sole for a 100km walking event on tarmac, concrete and trails.The shoe performed fantastically, again, and in combination with twin skin socks resulted in zero rub points, zero blisters and overheating or moisture issues regardless of higher than average temperatures.

Highly recommended 👍

A Good Trade Name, A Good Look.

Lucky me, these are a pair of shoes, unlike some others that I have purchased, that immediately feel just right. I do both trail running and several days at a gym per week. The shoes work for me with a variety of different types of exercise. Must admit that initially I bought these shoes for the way that they look. At the gym I notice, that shoes are sort of a trademark, people definitely use shoe apparel as one way of expressing themselves. Functionality should always come first but it helps to have a pair of lookers on your feet.

Comfortable, supportive, but I question the durability

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 ... MoreI've mainly worn these for casual wear and some walking but nothing major yet.

Hierro v7

Could not wait to get these home and try them out before hitting the trail! UNFORTUNATELY, these size 13 WIDE Hierro v7's are way too narrow!!! Great disappointment!How can NB put in place, a Quality Control Team, to MAKE SURE, their products are TRUE TO SIZE, in the various countries that NB shoes are made?! This is not the first time experiencing this problem. Of all the different countries that make NB shoes, NB products made in Vietnam seem to be truer to size and finish!

Love Them!

I love these New Balance Men's Fresh Foam Hierro v7 Trail-Running Shoes! These shoes are a fantastic choice for trail running enthusiasts. Their comfort, durability, and stylish design make them a top-notch option. You'll appreciate their ruggedness on the trails while still looking great. Happy running!

New Balance Foam Fresh Hierro v7 are Amazing

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 !

Ruined Hierro shoe with v7

The v7 is horrible. The sole on bottom was "upgraded" to add additional cushion but significantly reduces durability of shoe. Started falling apart on me after 60 miles. Hierro v6 is awesome, last me 350-500miles, I don't know why New Balance decided to no longer have hard plastic on entire bottom sole on v7; ruined my favorite shoe.:(

Size up

Is a definite improvement from the previous version. I usually wear a 10 1/2 wide 2EE or 4EE but these shoes run small and narrow. I would suggest sizing up half a size. I did, and they fit me great. Also on the previous version the toe guard would hit my little toe occasionally. In this version the toe guards it up a little bit and out of the way given your toes free range. Great you and the color ways are awesome. I'll be ordering another pair.

Too Narrow

I have worn NB shoes for many years. A primary reason has been they are one of the few sneaker makers that carry wide and extra wide shoes. Despite being advertised as "wide", I was very disappointed that the shoes were too narrow. And this was the same size I normally order. Despite the quality of the shoes, they don't work if they don't fit. They were returned after trying them on.

way too soft!

like most manufacturer that have gone to a more sponge like eva mid-sole, these are most unstable. that failure creates resistance for a heel to toe gate. more compression, means these and most shoes will need to be replaced more often with less reliable performance. made to sell not wear!
