I absolutely love these trail runners! They have just the right amount of energy return and cushioning. I am still able to connect with the trail. I’m an avid trail runner and these have been the best trail running shoes yet. The cherry on the top was the fact that they come in wide and they are my favorite color! These are my second pair of Hierro V8 and I’ve noticed design improvements in these. The only critique I might add is the need for a waterproof version. Thanks New Balance for getting this right!
Most comfortable running shoes ever . Also amazing for long walks outdoors country hikes these are the best trainers I’ve ever bought !
Very comfortable, I recommend them, to work and be on your feet all day
LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes!! I’m so glad NB has figured out that there are people who need extra wide shoes! I do simple day hikes, nothing too strenuous but the trails can be extremely rocky. These shoes held up well and my feet didn’t hurt afterwards from the rough terrain! My feet felt well cushioned and supported the entire time. I also got them wet a couple of times and they dried right away with no problems. I love them so much, I bought a second pair!
Best shoe in my opinion. I wear it for hiking, daily walking. Light, soft, steady, flexible, true to size, beautiful and great support. It has all you can ask for.
Very comfortable, fashionable, and colorful. I'm glad that I bought these. I can wear them to go walking, hiking, running, or just to wear out casually.
True to size, good for walking and running, lightweight. New Balance always best.
Love them good choice for trail …………………………………………..
They fit a little odd at first, but after my first walk I decided I loved them. They are very comfy, and have a lot of cushion. They feel like I’m walking on a cloud. I usually wear an 8 in running shoes and the 8 fit nicely, so true to size. Only downside is I can’t slip them on like my last 2 pairs, you have to sit down and tie them (sigh). I just hope they hold up. My last pairs of Nike and Adidas got holes in them (expensive running shoes mind you) before 1 years use. Hence giving New Balance a try. Here’s hoping these can hold up to 1 year of use.
Incredibly and shockingly comfortable! I typically wear Asics, but I found a great deal on these New Balance running shoes and I'm a huge fan. These have great cushion and support for my flat feet (not to mention another inch or so of height gained). I've only worn them at work (where I'm on my feet for long stretches of time) and for walks and these work really well. The soles are a little sticky on some surfaces and my feet do get warm when I wear them for hours, but this doesn't really bother me. What a find!
