New Balance Hierro v9 (2E Wide) Men’s Trail Running Shoes
The New Balance Hierro v9 2E Wide Men's Trail Running Shoes are designed for runners who spend their time off road and need dependable comfort across varied terrain. Whether you're running on compact gravel, bush tracks or technical trails, they provide the grip, protection and cushioning needed for longer adventures.
With a men's 2E wide fit, the Hierro v9 offers extra room through the forefoot without compromising security through the midfoot and heel. It's an excellent option for runners with wider feet or anyone wanting more comfort on longer trail runs when feet naturally expand.
Cushioned Support on Uneven Ground
The dual density Fresh Foam X midsole balances comfort with stability. A softer top layer absorbs impact to help reduce fatigue over longer distances, while the firmer lower layer provides added support when running across uneven and off camber trails.
Around 3% of the Fresh Foam X midsole uses bio based content, helping reduce reliance on fossil based materials while maintaining the responsive cushioning runners expect from New Balance.
Grip You Can Trust
The Vibram® Megagrip™ outsole delivers dependable traction across both wet and dry trails. Combined with Traction Lug™ technology, it provides confident grip on loose gravel, muddy sections, rocks and exposed tree roots, allowing you to stay in control as conditions change.
Toe Protect technology helps shield your feet from rocks and trail debris without adding unnecessary weight. A gusseted tongue improves foot security while helping prevent dirt and small stones from entering the shoe during your run.
