Our take on the New Balance Fresh Foam Hierro Hiker Gore Tex WTHIMCC9

The New Balance Fresh Foam Hierro Hiker GTX is a waterproof hiking shoe built on the brand's trail-running platform. It pairs a GORE-TEX membrane with a Fresh Foam X midsole and a Vibram outsole, so it walks like a cushioned trail runner but keeps feet dry. A low collar and Toe Protect bumper make it easy to slip on and forgiving on rocky ground. It suits day hikers and light backpackers who want comfort over stiff ankle support; rivals like the Salomon X Ultra and Merrell Moab offer more structure and durability for heavy loads.

Questions and answers

Is the Hierro Hiker good for wet weather?
Yes. A GORE-TEX membrane blocks wind and water while letting some moisture escape. It handles rain, puddles and mud well.
How does it compare with a hiking boot?
It is lighter and more cushioned than most boots, with a low collar. It gives less ankle support and stiffness, so it suits day hikes more than heavy backpacking.
Does it fit true to size?
It follows New Balance trail-shoe sizing, so most shoppers take their usual running-shoe size. Try it on with the socks you hike in.
What kind of terrain is it built for?
Groomed trails, wet paths, roots and rocks. The Vibram outsole grips well, but the lugs are moderate, so steep loose ground is not its strength.
Is it breathable enough for summer?
The GORE-TEX layer is waterproof first, so it runs warmer than a mesh trail shoe. It is better for cool, wet or mixed conditions than hot dry days.
What is in the box?
One pair of shoes. Insoles come fitted; socks and other accessories are not included.
Where is the New Balance Fresh Foam Hierro Hiker Gore Tex WTHIMCC9 cheapest?
At Next Step Athletics, for $99.99, as of our latest check.
