Our take on the Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 Gore-Tex

The Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 GTX is New Balance's waterproof trail runner, built for wet, rocky runs. It pairs the brand's softest Fresh Foam X midsole with a GORE-TEX membrane and a Vibram outsole, so cushioning, weather protection and grip all come standard. At about 9.4 oz it sits in the middle of the trail-shoe field: softer and more comfortable than firm, technical racers, but heavier and less precise than lightweight trail models. It suits runners and hikers who want comfort and traction on muddy or rainy trails more than race-day speed.

About the Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 Gore-Tex

Questions and answers

Is the Hierro v7 GTX good for wet trails?
Yes. The GORE-TEX membrane blocks rain and water while the Vibram outsole grips wet rock and mud. It is built for exactly that kind of running.
How does it differ from the standard Hierro v7?
The GTX version adds a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane. The midsole, Vibram outsole and Toe Protect cap are the same, but the GTX is warmer and less breathable.
Is it heavy for a trail shoe?
It weighs about 9.4 oz, which is mid-weight. It is heavier than lightweight trail racers but lighter than most waterproof hiking shoes.
Does it fit true to size?
New Balance trail shoes generally fit true to size with a slightly roomy toe box. Runners between sizes often size down for a snugger trail fit.
Can I use it for hiking?
Yes. The cushioning, toe protection and grip suit day hikes and light backpacking, though it is softer than a dedicated hiking boot.
What is the Fresh Foam X midsole made of?
It is New Balance's most cushioned Fresh Foam compound, with about 3% bio-based content from renewable resources.
Where is the Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 Gore-Tex cheapest?
At Stride District, for $63.00, as of our latest check.
