Sizing was true-to-fit and great features for trail running and so comfortable to wear anywhere.

These are awesome to run. I get tightness on my knee if I don’t have the right shoes on and these are definitely right. Colors are awesome and the support is great. I am usually and 7.5 but ordered an 8.5. I’m glad I did.

I loved the sneaker but had to exchange for a half size bigger. There was not enough toe room

I use these shoes for running and not only are they just an attractive looking shoe, but they are comfortable and also have great traction. The squishy sole is basically the best. It's a nice soft impact, and honestly after wearing my beaten down running shoes for so long, I felt like I was just flying along in these! Got a nice bounce to them if you aren't used to it.
Used them for hiking/trail running too and that grip is perfect. No sliding on wet rocks for me!

I used these during the Summer for hiking and walking in the Smoky Mountains. They work well on dirt trails, cement, and in a few creeks! The shoes are holding up great, already worn for a few months. They provide a lot of stability which I prefer. Definitely glad I ordered them in wide, because my fit are just a tiny bit too wide for the regular width. I recommend! By the way I bought them in the blue and the color is great.

I was worried about trying new shoes, I have never worn NB so this purchase was out of my comfort zone. I am so happy I stepped out of that comfort zone and purchased these shoes!!They are very responsive and perfect for the trails I run ! I have been having issues with my arches and these shoes have helped eliminate that pain.

These sneakers are the BEST for me!!! I did 335 miles on the Appalachian Trail last month which included the White Mountains in New Hampshire. I have terrible bunions on both feet but had no foot discomfort and minimal blistering, even though I had many days of rain throughout the hike. And the shoes held up very well.

This is my second pair and I love them even more. The fit is great, the soles have good traction, I don't slip on the trails. Plus they look cool

These are AMAZING running trail shoes. I have had problems with achilles and plantar and these shoes are so cushioned that I have had no further problems. The color red is bold but I like it. While it is true the laces are difficult to get nice and tight, you can use the extra hole in the lacing to tighten them up a bit. These are excellent for running or walking on the trail, and I will buy another pair! Love them!

Pleasantly surprised as New Balance is not the prevalent brand on trails but the Hierro meets the criteria I was looking for and is a perfect replacement for Hoka's Speed Goat

So comfortable! I’ve been having trouble with heel pain lately. I would get halfway though my daily walk and want to stop because my foot hurt. I wore these the day they arrived and got through the whole 3 miles pain free. I also really like the traction these have over varied terrain. I didn’t slip on the steeper gravely parts of the trail like I usually do and I felt very sure footed and stable as I moved through the woods.

I've been looking for a new running shoe that would also be good for hiking the canyons in southern California, which tend to be very slippery because of all the dry sand. I wanted a shoe that was solid & sturdy for climbing over rocks, etc., yet soft & cushiony with great shock absorption for the flats and going downhill. Well, I finally found all of these things in this shoe! The Vibram MegaGrip outsole gives me security against slipping on the sand--an amazing feature!! And I love the fun color combos. Plus, I have a wide foot and love that I can order NB in WIDE. They are worth every penny. :)

The photos online do this shoe no justice! They are amazing in person! The fit is fantastic and the sole is comfortable with great grip. I cannot wait to try them on my hikes! I got the red orange color, absolutely brilliant! I am over the moon happy.

I have purchased New Balance for regular running shoes before, but this was my first purchase for trail running shoes. I was very pleased with these shoes right away. They fit well and I did not have to spend much time at all breaking them in. I use them for hiking 4-5 times per week for about 3-7 miles at a time. I already recommended them to a friend who has also purchased a pair.
