Is the mid-cut Hierro worth it over the low-cut?

If you run rocky, dusty trails and want ankle coverage and less debris in the shoe, the mid-cut is worth it. If you want a lighter, cooler shoe for smooth trails, the low-cut Hierro is the better pick.

How does the Hierro Mid-Cut compare with the Hierro v7 or v8?

The mid-cut keeps the same Fresh Foam X and Vibram Megagrip formula as the low-cut Hierro, with a taller collar. Later versions tweak the upper and midsole feel, so try both if fit matters to you.

Does it fit true to size?

It generally fits true to size in medium width, and the mid-cut collar runs snug around the ankle. Runners with wide feet or thick socks may want to size up half a size.

Is the Vibram Megagrip outsole good in wet conditions?

Yes. Megagrip is one of the more trusted rubber compounds for wet rock and roots, and the lug pattern handles loose dirt and gravel well.

You get the pair of shoes with the stock insoles; no extra laces, gaiters or warranty paperwork are included.

Trail shoes from prior seasons usually drop most when a new version launches and during end-of-season clearance. Watch the price history for a dip below the recent range.

Our take on the New Balance Women's Fresh Foam X Hierro V1 Mid-Cut Trail Running Shoe

The New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid-Cut is a women's trail running shoe built on Fresh Foam X cushioning with a Vibram Megagrip outsole and a mid-height collar that keeps debris out. The mid-cut version adds ankle coverage over the standard low-cut Hierro, which suits rocky, dusty trails and cooler runs. It is a cushioned, protective trail shoe rather than a fast race shoe. No current price was provided, so check the latest best price against its recent range before buying.
