Uneven terrain, debris, and moisture are unique challenges to footwear that require specialized construction. For those who take going off the beaten path literally, there's the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid-cut trail running shoe, a dedicated, off-road application of NB's best running technology. The Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid employs a Vibram Megagrip outsole, mid-cut synthetic upper with GORE-TEX waterproof fabric, and toe protection to create a protective shell of durability and traction around the signature Fresh Foam X cushioning.

FIT NOTE: The Gore-tex lining of the GTX Hierro styles makes for a tighter fit than the mesh style.
