Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Hierro v5

I'm not impressed. Prefer to use Nike. Also they run big.

These sneakers are nice and comfortable but shipping took way to long.

Unfortunately I have been having a difficult time breaking these shoes in. Always tight in the toe area. I ordered these so unfortunately I can't return. Had I tried them on in the store I probably would not have purchased. I love my other pair of NB and just assumed these would fit the same.

The sole looks like it's too big for the shoe. Not sure why the bottom part sticks out from the back of the shoe but I returned them bc I didn't like the look of it.

The color is great, that's about it! The backing on the bottom sole is, in my experience is dangerous. It has an extended flap that cause me to trip. It's also gets in my way when driving. The flap gets in my mats when going from the gas to the brake. So I obviously know I can't drive with them. Also, the backing comes up a bit high. I had blisters the first week I wore them.

Can't even get my toes into the toe box without the foot liner. Never again. If i could find the packing slip, they'd be returned. Waste of money.

These might be ok for dry conditions only for paved trails but they didnt work for me on a wet trail. They just picked up mud on the bottom and I slipped all over. Did the same trail again the next day in my Danner shoes without issue. I think Ill continue to only buy new balance for indoor work outs. I would return them but I already got rid of the box and they are caked in mud at the moment.

These are much heavier than any of the other NB sneakers I have owned and I feel very clunky in them. They don't fit as well as others either and I can't wear them all day, After the first few days of the week I've had them I put them on to workout and take them off immediately after. They don't look as good as the picture either but that's less important. Looks like I'll be spending another chunk of change to try another pair.

I bought these to replace a beloved older version of Hierros - oh dear, this current version is awful! The toe box is restrictive, the odd looking flap on the back of the sole is just bizarre (what is its purpose?). Sigh - don't you hate when they change versions??? These are going back.

These are weird shaped & bulky. I'm returning them.

The shoe looked like it would be perfect, but it was far from it. The heel cup is very wide and regardless of how tight I tied the shoe, it felt like it was slipping off. The shoe also feels like it makes you land or push off too far forward, too close to the toes and not at the ball of the foot.

I HAVE NARROW FEET AND THEIR SMALL. I ORDERED SIZE 6, THE SHOE LOOKS VERY BIG COMPARE TO MY OTHER NEW BALANCE SHOES. MY FEET WOULD GET NUMB WHILE RUNNING AND THE SHOE IS NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL. I WEAR THE NEW BALANCE BRAND FOR RUNNING. I HAD TO BUY A NEW PAIR OF RUNNING SHOES. A WASTEFUL INVESTMENT. I RUN EVERY SAT AND I TRIED TO GIVE THE SHOES A CHANCE BUT COULDN'T TAKE THE PAIN ANY MORE.

I'm sure this shoe would be good from someone with narrow feet. I purchased wide fit since I have wide feet, and only wore them for 4 or 5 hours before my toes got numb. Since I wore them briefly I can't return them, so that was an expensive mistake.
