For those who take going off the beaten path literally, there's the Fresh Foam X Hierro GORE-TEX Mid, a dedicated, off-road application of New Balance's best-running technology. The Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid employs a Vibram Megagrip outsole, mid-cut GORE-TEX upper, and toe protection to create a protective shell of durability and traction around the signature Fresh Foam X cushioning.
GORE-TEX Upper
The New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid has a GORE-TEX upper that offers durability, waterproofing and breathability. The upper prevents feet from becoming wet and uncomfortable in poor and changing weather conditions, allowing you to focus on the journey ahead. Additionally, the build-up of warm air can escape as things start to heat up and can then be replaced with cool, fresh air to keep you feeling dry and comfortable as you go. The mid-cut design provides added stability for the trail and a traditional lacing system gives that locked-in feel and a secure fit. A heel tab makes it easy to get the boots on and off. Lastly, Toe Protect technology helps to protect your feet from rocks, roots and any other trail debris for minimal distractions from discomfort.
Fresh Foam X MidsoleFeaturing Fresh Foam X, the midsole of the Hierro Mid GORE-TEX delivers New Balance's most cushioned Fresh Foam experience to provide you with incredible comfort for every step. With a more energetic rebound, the full-length Fresh Foam keeps the cushioning consistent and offers the signature plush, but firm and responsive cushioning. The midsole is also able to follow the natural bending of the foot, allowing the feet to move comfortably in a range of directions.
Vibram Megagrip OutsoleA lighter compound than ever, the Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid features an impressive Vibram Megagrip outsole which ensures traction and grip on varied terrain. This high-performance rubber compound gifts you with an unparalleled grip on wet and dry surfaces, rugged longevity and optimal ground adaptability. The rubber can form a solid bond with the ground beneath it to ensure traction and control as you explore the unbeaten path.
