The Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 GTX is New Balance's women's trail running shoe, built on a Fresh Foam X midsole for soft, cushioned landings over rough ground. This version adds a GORE-TEX waterproof liner and a Vibram Megagrip outsole with 4.5mm lugs aimed at grip on climbs and descents. A synthetic mesh upper with a toe guard rounds it out. It suits runners and hikers who want a plush, weatherproof trail shoe rather than a firm, race-day racer. Against lighter, more minimal trail shoes it trades some ground feel for comfort and protection; against burlier mountain shoes it is less aggressive on technical rock.

Trail runners generally rate the Hierro v7 GTX as a comfortable, protective shoe for wet-weather trail days, with the Vibram outsole and cushioning standing out. Common complaints center on warmth and breathability from the waterproof liner and a softer ride that some find vague on technical ground.
The New Balance Women's Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 GORE-TEX is an all-terrain trail running shoe. This version is lighter than the previous one and has a Vibram Megagrip outsole for improved traction.
Fresh Foam cushioning underfoot is designed to soak up the rigors of off-road running. The redesigned outsole uses 4.5mm lugs, which focus on traction on both ascents and descents.
The upper is made of synthetic material and mesh and is highly breathable. It has a toe protect guard. A GORE-TEX waterproof liner runs across the upper for weatherproof comfort.
