New Balance  Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 GORE-TEX Trail-Running Shoes - Men's

Great shoes for the first 3 walks, however after doing approximately 18 miles the goretex, failed and I ended up with wet feet in both shoes, I paid top money ready for the wet grass as the winter has now nearly arrived, disappointed they failed so quick, they only let in a little water but it was enough to soak my feet and turn them cold

The name says it all, NEW BALANCE—if you want to have the perfect balance, you just have to walk in these HIERRO sneakers. They’re the best! I bought them for my husband, and he’s very happy with his gift.

Fantastic shoe. Very comfortable. Solid base. Great color. Very happy with the purchase

My biggest issue is that I have a high instep and the sewn down tongue causes uncomfortable pressure and an ill fit. They really should specify in the product description whether the tongue is stitched like this so people like me can choose another model. Better, stop doing it!!! It causes as many problems as it potentially solves. I’ve previously bought the non Goretex version of this shoe and found it very comfortable. The sole both on this and the previous model tends to make some noise on non trail surfaces that may annoy people.

Possibly the worst running shoe I've bought in the last five years. I've had the previous three versions of the Hierro, but this is just a completely different shoe. The massive increase in stack height makes it extremely unstable on all but the smoothest of trails. If you have the slightest bit of pronantion, avoid. The worst thing is that, to test a trail shoe, you've got to run on a trail. Inevitably, that means it's going to get dirty...and then impossible to return. Really don't know what I'm going to use it for.

I shoot for a daily walk almost year round, 4-7 miles, been holding a 4 mile per day average going on 3 years. At 6-3 180# I wear out shoes in 3-4 months. After 3 months with v9's, so far so good. Two notable v9 benefits; the waffle sole definitely adds traction on all surfaces and seems to add durability to the soles, the gore tex offers added dryness when walking in wet weather. Very comfortable and very durable.

Wide feet also have wide toes - your wides are essentially high-volume, not wide width - it seems you don't make wide midsole/outsole molds so everyone's wide foot will get pinched at the toe. Norda 001 and 005 standard width are both more accommodating than your X-Wide/4E. I also find, like another reviewer, something in the shape/construction is propelling my forefoot to roll inwards and spill over the midsole.

My first ever pair of trail runners. Broke them in and used them to run/climb Pico Duarte in the Dominican Republic. They were super giving me spring, firm grip on wet rocks and no blisters during the 10,000 foot elevation run/climb. They dried very fast. I have noticed a tiny separation of the sole from the sneaker which I am keeping an eye on to see if I am needing to fix them.

These are super comfy and great for cold activities. Looks great and feels great on my feet. Fit right and really like the grip on the bottoms. Great for any outdoor activity. Would buy again! These are my daily wear now! Got them fast as well. Perfect for my needs, quality is great as well!

I have a size 17 foot. This shoe feels like it has a size 15 toe area. Very narrow and raised up off the ground. Very weird. The heel also is rounded off and very very uncomfortable. So congratulations new balance on designing narrow nasty uncomfortable shoes
