Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v8

I love these shoes, color is fun and the fit is perfect. HOWEVER, they squeak when you walk in them. I guess that wouldn't matter when you're on the trail and maybe the squeaking would disappear after you've worn them in, maybe. I didn't want to chance it and got the V7's, they don't squeak.

My only complaint is that they make too much noise when walking indoor. They are very squeaky!

I wear an 8 and prefer an 8W which is what these sneakers are. Excellent, comfortable fit. Plenty of cushion. I even feel taller when I wear them which is a plus :)

The wide width wasn't wide enough in the toe box. Felt great otherwise. The ball of my foot is very wide; your results may vary.

The Licorice is a really nice wine/burgundy color which I love - much prettier than the picture! They are super comfortable and cushion is great. I love how they feel and also gives me a little height. My only small complaint is the bottom. The rubber makes you squeak sometimes when you walk on certain flooring. I love the shoe and how comfortable it is though. I am a 7.5 wide and they weren't tight. I took out the yellow laces and replaced with burgundy laces which makes the shoe look perfect for me. I really like them!

Well, that was a waste of $155.00. The fit was fine at first, but with some wear on 2-3 mile walks on my mountain gravel roads, the sole of my foot felt like it was burning in the shoe. The tongue isn’t gusseted and slides around. Just not a shoe I can wear very long and be happy.

LOVE these! Felt great from the moment I put them on! Did have to order one half size up. Comfortable and grippy!

This is my third pair of these sneakers. Each purchase has been the newer version with only minimal design changes, but they remain consistently comfortable, supportive and durable. I have worn these shoes to hike in the National Parks (some more technical trails too!), my weekly trail runs, my lifting routines and with my travel outfits when I'm out walking around for 15k steps or more each day. Highly recommend!

I love these shoes! I have them in my regular size for shorter trail runs but needed a pair a half size up for long trail runs. The perfect amount of support and cushion without being too padded and losing contact with the ground

I had to return these because they SQUEAKED so loudly I would have been laughed out of my workplace. SQUEAK, SQUEAK, SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK.

I have problem feet and these work for me. I love the they do not slip at all at the heel.

Fit and size are perfect. I can always count on New Balance to be consistent! I have't worn them outside yet, but they feel light and comfortable. I really like the color and style, too.

I usually wear a 9 1/2 or 10 in athletic shoes. I ordered the 9 1/2. They were too snug in the length. They seem like a great shoe for trail walking, but I didn’t necessarily need that and didn’t like the squeaky soles, so I returned them for the Fresh Foam X880 v14 size 10 (which I love). New Balance seems to make a quality shoe, and Zappos customer service is awesome!

Very comfortable, right out of the box. Great stability and grip for walking and hiking.

Fine. As expected.

Super comfy. I don't run but will wear these for long walks, ~5 miles. Feet stay cool and don't ache. Yellow color is a plus! Highly recommend.

Fits great, I have very low arches and the big heel drop in this sneaker works well. and they are nice looking :)

These shoes are perfect for the trails. They are true to size, width and extremely comfortable. I love the color. They are also very light in weight which is a huge plus! I did take one star off due to the shoe laces. They are quick to knot up and difficult to take out.

I’m a nurse and always buy my work shoes a half size larger. These don’t have as much extra room in the toe I thought, but they aren’t too small bc I size up.New Balance are always my favs and Hoka #2. Super comfortable, plenty of support and great comfy cushion! And finally something to wear with my black coffee cords. It’s dark brown with a wine color! Just what I’ve been looking for, for the last year. Might be my new favorite New Balance and I have 6 other pair! Thx New Balance!

Super comfortable - fit perfect - getting wide sizes is new for me, and this works perfect

These look even better in person and are so comfortable!!

It's a half size up from my regular shoe size, but aren't most running shoes like that? I love these, they are stable, and comfortable and I liked them so much I got them in another color!

Fit perfectly. Very soothing shoes. I have been struggling with Plantar Fascitis and these shoes help!

too small in length and width

Too snug. I really like the style so I will try a 7.5.
