Whether you're navigating rocky mountain paths, crossing streams, or tackling muddy forest trails, the Hierro V9 provides the reliability and performance you need to push your limits in any environment.

Waterproof Protection Without Compromise

Featuring GORE-TEX waterproof fabric, the Fresh Foam X Hierro V9 delivers reliable protection against wind, rain, and water while maintaining breathability. This innovative technology keeps your feet dry in wet conditions without sacrificing ventilation, ensuring comfort in unpredictable weather conditions. Say goodbye to soggy socks and uncomfortable runs through puddles—the GORE-TEX membrane creates a moisture barrier while allowing perspiration to escape, keeping your feet comfortable during extended trail adventures.

Advanced Cushioning Technology

The dual density Fresh Foam X midsole represents New Balance's most cushioned Fresh Foam experience ever. The innovative design features a softer top layer that provides incredible comfort for long-distance running, paired with a firmer bottom layer that offers stability when navigating uneven terrains. This intelligent combination ensures that every stride is supported, whether you're on a flat path or tackling rugged mountain trails. The targeted cushioning helps reduce impact on your joints during descents while providing responsive energy return for ascents.

Unparalleled Traction in Any Condition

Equipped with a Vibram Megagrip outsole featuring Traction Lug technology and a revamped tread pattern, these trail shoes deliver superior grip in both wet and dry conditions. The strategic positioning of the lugs ensures maximum surface contact for enhanced traction, giving you the confidence to push your limits regardless of the terrain or weather. From slick rocks to muddy banks, the Vibram outsole adapts to changing surfaces, providing confidence-boosting stability that allows you to maintain your pace without fear of slipping.

Enhanced Protection Features

The Hierro V9 doesn't just deliver comfort—it provides comprehensive protection for your feet. The incorporated Toe Protect technology shields your toes from rocks, roots, and trail debris, reducing the risk of injury on challenging paths. Additionally, the gusseted tongue offers a secure, customized fit while preventing small stones and dirt from entering the shoe during your runs. These thoughtful design elements eliminate common trail-running annoyances, allowing you to focus entirely on your performance and the breathtaking scenery around you.
