Fantastic Trail Shoes – Just Be Careful with Sizing! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was really excited to try the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro V7, as they have great reviews for comfort and durability. The shoes look amazing and feel well-made, with excellent cushioning and grip. However, I had to return them because the size didn’t work for me. Pros: ✅ Super comfortable – The Fresh Foam X midsole feels soft yet supportive. ✅ Great traction – The Vibram outsole provides excellent grip on various surfaces. ✅ Breathable & durable – The upper material feels sturdy but still allows airflow. ✅ Stylish design – Looks great for both hiking and casual wear. Sizing Tip: Ordering hiking shoes online is tricky because hiking socks are thicker than everyday socks, and feet can swell after hours of walking. I ordered my usual size, but when I tried them on at home with hiking socks, they felt too snug. If you wear thick socks or need extra room, I’d recommend going half a size up. Final Thoughts: These are amazing trail shoes with top-notch quality. I had to return mine due to sizing, but that was my mistake, not the seller’s fault. If you get the right size, you’ll love them! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) – Excellent Trail Shoes, Just Watch the Sizing!

    I’ve been wearing the New Balance Women's Fresh Foam X Hierro V7 Trail Running Shoes throughout my second pregnancy, and they have been a lifesaver! These shoes are incredibly comfortable, with the Fresh Foam cushioning providing excellent support for my feet, which are a little more sensitive this time around.

    The wide fit (7W) is perfect for my expanding feet, and the Blacktop/Sea Salt color is both stylish and practical. Whether I’m out walking, running errands, or taking a hike, these shoes keep me feeling supported and comfortable, even with all the changes my body is going through.

    The traction is fantastic, making them ideal for any outdoor activity, and they’ve held up really well over time. If you’re looking for a durable, comfortable, and supportive trail running shoe that works for pregnancy and beyond, I can’t recommend these enough! 👟💪

    Damaged my knees hiking in the Alps a couple of years ago. Two arthroscopic surgeries and years of physical therapy later, it was all I could do to walk even short distances without experiencing pain. It was my good fortune to happen across a pair of these sneakers while out shopping one day. I feel like someone waved a magic wand! They are lightweight, well cushioned to protect from impact, comfortable, and provide excellent support. I have purchased three pairs here on Amazon. I’m literally living in these sneakers; the variety of great color combinations make them fun to wear with anything . Love the snazzy laces, too. They’re a perfect fit right out of the box, and are well-made.

    I gave this item 4 stars because I normally buy size 9 in sneakers. When the size 9 came it was a bit tight so I returned it and got a 9.5. The 9.5 is too big. I did not have the energy to return it again so it's just sitting there catching dust.

    Besides that, it looks good and has cushion and is lightweight.

    Right before the Hawaii Iron Man 11 years ago, I was hit by a car while running. I was throwing 56 feet and nearly killed. 11 surgeries and 11 years of physical therapy later and I can walk again! I'm doing trails now because it's so much easier on my joints, so I set up to buy trail shoes. I have an exercise science BS and exercise medicine MS, so I understand biomechanics, but shoes have evolved greatly in the last couple years. I did some research and tried on literally 15 pairs of the top trail shoes.

    I wanted at least one pair that were waterproof (GTX). I need shoes that are lightweight, narrow/low volume, neutral, straight-lasted, max cushioned yet with road feel, stability without motion control and built to last. I thought I'd have to compromise, but I didn't! I chose these for the waterproof ones. They have added to protection for trails, also. I might have liked the Hoka Challenger ATX 7 GTX Better but couldn't find it in my size. Plus I got a good deal on these on Amazon. I have to admit the ones I like even better than these are the Brooks Caldera 6 that I also got a good deal here on Amazon. They're not waterproof and don't have much toe protection, but they are the most cushioned yet stable shoes I've ever worn.

    FYI, this listing offers the Hierro in both GTX and non-GTX models, so pay attention when you order. GTX models will have a tag on the side at the ankle that says Gore-Tex and the listing should say GTX. Also note that GTX is waterproof, which is superior to those that just say water resistant or shield. Also, I bought the ones with the image showing the shoes as light gray with light blue accent color, but mine came all light blue. That's fine with me, but just so you know. My photo looks a little washed out.

    I run everyday and the rocky trails are pretty hard on my shoes but I've never had to replace them so soon. I have wide feet so I typically love new balance shoes but these just didn't last . When I first got these shoes they fit well and provided a lot of support. It's been barely 3 months and they are already falling apart. I'm pretty dissapointed because they were so comfy when I first got them. The laces needed to be relpaced after a month and now the inner lining on both shoes is torn exposing sharp pieces inside that rub against my feet, causing pain and blisters.

    Scarpa perfetta per chi pratica camminata veloce anche su strade non asfaltate. La scarpa è ben ammortizzata e leggerissima non adatta però a percorsi di trekking che richiedono calzate più strutturate. Va segnalato che non è impermeabile in caso di pioggia. Ho acquistato questa scarpa per la seconda volta. Mi trovo molto bene e il marchio New Balance è una garanzia.
