This shoe fits true to size and comfortable wearing the first time. I purchased the dark blue last year, and the lighter blue is a fun update!

Best pair if sneakers I have ever owned…. Feel so good. I am a huge walker and I forget about my feet when I am walking with these. I get so many compliments with this shoe

Feels good. Not too stiff. Roomy enough across toes. Not sloppy on heel. Looks good.

I generally have trouble finding comfortable shoes. I needed waterproof sneakers for an upcoming trip and decided to try these New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 ones. I was pleasantly surprised that they were comfortable without much breaking in and intend to try some other New Balance shoes when I return. I wear size 8.5 M.

I love these! So comfy. Size fit well for me, but if you're in between sizes I'd size up. Took a little breaking in to do but now they're perfect for hiking!

I love these kicks; the treads are awesome for winter running and the GTX provides that extra warmth for my toes!!!

I've been searching for a more durable, lightweight, but waterproof trail shoe that is comfortable out of the box. I think this one is it. I've only worn it a handful of times and usually in dry conditions, but so far the fit is working great. Thank goodness for wide-size option. This provides enough give to accommodate wide feet or if you struggle with bunions. I gave 4 stars because I'm not certain how waterproof it will be.

Fit was as expected. And I love that they have goretex for the upcoming winter. Looking forward to some warm dog walks.

I wear orthotics but I can’t wear them in the right shoe because they cause my heel to slip up and down. I bought them because they are waterproof and we will be doing lots of walking in the rain. I hope they live up to my expectations.

Too hot for my feet. My feet are usually chilly but one walk outside in the woods and they were too warm. I did wear them in summer. I think they would be good for winter.

I wanted to love these shoes. I was excited about finding a New Balance with GORE-TEX in my size - Womens 11 D- Wide for an upcoming trip where the weather will be potentially wet at times. I ordered my normal New Balance size and I was so disappointed in the fit. They felt both too short and too narrow and I'll have to return. Unfortunately there is not a bigger size available.

I was disappointed in these shoes. The last pair I bought felt like I was walking on clouds, and the width was true to size, but these aren’t really wide when I compared them to my previous pair.

I have a wide foot, and New Balance is typically a dependable fit for me. But even in a wide width, these shoes are very snug. Sad to return them because they are a good-looking and lightweight shoe.

I really didn't like it. I ordered a size 7, but they felt overly large for the size and cumbersome. I normally order EE - Extra Wide, and I ordered D - wide, but they were even wider than EE. They are very stiff and I trip a lot on trails - something I've never done before.

I ordered two New Balance Fresh Foam sneakers during the same time frame, same size and width. I bought this one, the Hierro, for light hiking on potentially unstable surfaces. It has a noticeably smaller toe box than the other (non-hiking) style. It was less comfortable and hurt my bunions after a period of walking. I can also feel the "cleats" on the bottom--the padding on bottom doesn't seem as robust.

As soon as I took the shoes out of the box it became apparent that they are nowhere near as sturdy and well made as the v6 GTX. From the thinner upper fabric, the much thinner and less sturdy fabric padding around the heal that looks like it will wear very quickly with daily walking, to the tongue, the thin, flimsy loop at the back of the shoe, the middle fabric lace loop and the thin, flimsy laces, this is not the same shoe. Very disappointed in the quality, will be sending it back. I expect better for the price of this shoe (which is the same as the much better made v6 GTX). On the only positive side, the toe box is not a low profile as on the v6 GTX.
Unfortunately, my size in the v6 GTX is no longer available, otherwise I would be ordering another pair!

Wow, I've been wearing NB 1450 for the wide width and arch support. But these are small and tight even tho they're the "same" size (9W). No idea about the arch support since these felt too painful to even keep on. Immediate return.

I ordered 9.5 women's D wide. The Wide New Ballance line of fresh foam shoes do not seem to have as much volume or room in the toe box as their other wide women's shoes. The 10 wide is just a man's shoe so the arch does not hit me in the proper place
