Deep Dive
Why We Like The New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid Wide Hiking Shoe
No, hiking boots don't need to be heavy or made with brown leather—the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid Hiking Boot is lightweight and trail ready.
The synthetic uppers are lightweight and well ventilated for comfort while the midsoles have stolen the Fresh Foam X cushioning from New Balance running shoes to give the Hierro a light and cushy ride.
We like this boot's wide size and love its premium Vibram Megagrip outsoles that let us take on dry or wet trails with confidence.
