New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 Mid GORE-TEX Men's Walking Boots

For those who take going off the beaten path literally, there's the Fresh Foam X Hierro V9 GORE-TEX Mid, a dedicated, off-road application of New Balance's best-running technology. The Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid employs a Vibram Megagrip outsole, mid-cut GORE-TEX upper, and toe protection to create a protective shell of durability and traction around the signature Fresh Foam X cushioning.

Suede Leather and Mesh Upper

The Fresh Foam X Hierro V9 Mid utilise both leather and mesh materials to create the perfect balance of breathability and durability. The mesh encourages cool, refreshing air to circulate, whilst at the same time, removing unwanted warm air to help regulate temperature. Rugged leather details increase the boot's durability, standing up to tough conditions. Additionally, a GORE-TEX membrane offers exceptional waterproofing and breathability qualities. The membrane prevents feet from becoming wet and uncomfortable in poor and changing weather, allowing you to focus on the journey ahead. The mid-cut design provides added stability for the trail, and a traditional lacing system gives that locked-in feel and a secure fit. A heel tab makes it easy to get the boots on and off. Lastly, Toe Protect technology helps protect your feet from rocks, roots and any other trail debris for minimal distractions from discomfort.

Fresh Foam X Midsole

A Fresh Foam X midsole foam delivers New Balance's most cushioned Fresh Foam experience for incredible comfort. It uses a dual-density construction for plushness and stability, and even attenuates shock as you strike down, protecting your joints from stress and strain. This energy is then converted into rebound to propel you into your next step, helping you run further, faster, using less energy. This means you get that flying feeling that allows you to traverse the great outdoors easily with speed. The combination of the above actions helps to improve your gait cycle, which is achieved through its unique foam structure with larger bubbles at the heel for impact absorption and smaller bubbles towards the forefoot for propulsion. The foam uses even more natural materials (3% bio-based content) to keep up with New Balance's commitment to being more environmentally friendly.

Vibram Megagrip Outsole

A lighter compound than ever, the Fresh Foam X Hierro features an impressive Vibram Megagrip outsole, which ensures traction and grip on varied terrain. This high-performance rubber compound provides unparalleled grip on wet and dry surfaces, rugged longevity and optimal ground adaptability. The rubber can form a solid bond with the ground beneath to ensure traction and control as you explore the unbeaten path.
