The shoes I won’t regret to buy
I’m really impressed! They’ve quickly become a favorite for my off-road adventures, thanks to a fantastic combination of design, fit, and price. Right out of the box, the design caught my eye. New Balance really nailed the aesthetic on these—they look sleek and trail-ready without being overly bulky. It’s a shoe that performs well and looks good doing it.When it comes to fitting, these shoes truly shine. They hug my feet comfortably, providing a secure and supportive feel that’s crucial on uneven terrain. My feet feel locked in without being constricted, allowing for confident strides whether I’m climbing or descending. The cushioning feels just right, absorbing impact without sacrificing responsiveness.And the price? Absolutely spot on. I feel like I got a premium trail running shoe without breaking the bank, which is always a win. My only minor critique, and it’s a small one, is that they’re a little tight on the side of my feet. While the overall snugness is a positive, I do notice a slight pressure on the sides after longer runs. It’s not a deal-breaker by any means, and I’m hoping they’ll loosen up just a touch with more wear. Despite that minor quibble, I’m genuinely thrilled with my New Balance trail running shoes. They’re a comfortable, stylish, and affordable option for anyone looking to hit the trails with confidence. I highly recommend them!

Quality and Durability.
Love these shoes. I had switched from New Balance to HOKA for my trail shoes, but the HOKAs proved less durable than NB. So I went back to NB. Best cushioning ever, IMHO. Rugged, built well. I need wide fit and New Balance is only one of a handful of companies offering wide sizes. Fit is a bit small so I ordered ½ size bigger than with past New Balance shoes.

Comfy but less steady
I’m not sure how I feel about these shoes, by all accounts they are better than the previous model but I can’t say I like them as much as the v7. The fit is fine, decent lockdown, seem well made and the megagrip outsole is always a welcome addition. For me personally tho I just don’t care for the big jump in stack height combined with extremely soft foam, they just feel too mushy and unsteady now, I did tons of hiking in the v7 and felt confident with every step, these new v9s tho feel like they could easily roll in uneven terrain with such a thick slab of marshmallow soft foam underfoot.

Great trail runner . . .
Not as cushy or bouncy as the *New Balance Men’s Fresh Foam X More Trail V3 Running Shoe* but I only bought one of those and cannot find them any more but these are a good pick for trail running. I’m an older runner and need the cushioned shoes for the down hills. But these have a much better outsole like a proper trail runner should have. Not quite as wide as the X More Trail V3 but it does not seem to be an issue. I may edit this after 250 miles to say how well they are wearing. I have 416 miles on the X More Trail V3 and they are still comfortable but they are wearing out a little but I think these should last as long or longer.

My go-to hiking sneaker
The New Balance Men’s Fresh Foam X Hierro V9 Trail Running Shoe is my go-to hiking sneaker. I’ve taken them everywhere—from the Dolomites to the Rocky Mountains to trails up and down the East Coast—and they’ve never let me down. Besides looking stylish, they are light and supportive.The toe protector has saved me many times on rocky terrain, and the wide version feels great on my feet even after a full day of hiking. The grip is excellent, and I even trusted them on a via ferrata, where they performed perfectly.They strike the right balance of comfort, durability, and support. Light enough for long days but tough enough for challenging trails—these are the shoes I always reach for. After a hike, I rinse them off and they are good to go again the next day.

Fits too small and right shoe is smaller than left
The fit is too small compared to other NB models although I bought a bigger size than mine. Worse part is that the right shoe is smaller than the left one to an extent that hurts my toes and cannot use them anymore.

Comfy but unstable
Like other reviews, I feel the shoes are very cushioned and comfortable for walking. I’ll wear them on smoother trails but they’re much easier to roll than my other hiking shoes. I no longer wear them on rough trails

Sehr guter Trailrunning-Schuh mit guter Balance zwischen Dämpfung und Response. An wichtigen Stellen ist das Mesh verstärkt.

Como siempre New Balance se saca un 10 en este nuevo calzado. cómodo, ligero, robusto , todo terreno. buen precio solo un comentario si eres de pies delgados compra la versión que es ancha ya que bienes un poquito angostos de la puntera. Excelente par de tenis. 100% recomendados.

Lo mejor que prevé en mucho tiempo, sinceramente las volvería a comprar , si consigo que se rompan aunque dudo mucho que se rompan debido a su calidad y robustez y comodidad , sin duda un acierto de compra.
