Sale -50% | New Balance Women's Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid GTX V1 Trail Running Shoe, Linen/Mushroom/Gulf Red, 6.5 XW

The trail doesn’t care about your weekend plans. It’s messy, unpredictable, and entirely unforgiving. That’s exactly why the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid GTX belongs in your gear closet. Designed for the woman who views a muddy path as an invitation rather than an obstacle, this shoe is the ultimate hybrid of a high-performance runner and a rugged hiking boot.

Imagine hitting a steep switchback or crossing a shallow creek without that dreaded sinking feeling of cold, wet socks. These shoes feature a genuine GORE-TEX waterproof membrane that acts as a literal shield against rain and puddles. But here’s the kicker: it doesn’t trap heat. Your feet stay dry and comfortable, even when you’re pushing the pace on a humid afternoon. Underneath, the Fresh Foam X midsole provides a plush, responsive ride that New Balance fans swear by. It’s their most cushioned experience yet, specifically tuned to soak up the impact of jagged rocks and uneven roots so your joints don't have to.

Best of all, this 6.5 X-Wide fit means you finally get the room you need without the pinch. If you’re ready to stop checking the weather forecast and just get out there, these are the only shoes you’ll need to lace up.
