What to expect from the shoe?
New Balance FreshFoam Hierro v9 Gore-Tex
Looking for men's trail sneakers that let you tackle wet grass, mud, and soggy forest paths without a second thought? The New Balance Hierro v9 Gore-Tex in Basil Oil/Black is ready for the outdoors while keeping your feet dry. Whether you're lacing them up for a morning run through the woods or a weekend hike in the hills, these sneakers are for anyone who wants to run and walk where the pavement ends.
The secret to their dryness lies in the GORE-TEX membrane, which blocks water from the outside while allowing your foot to breathe. The upper combines lightweight, breathable mesh with synthetic materials and textiles. The reinforced Toe Protect cap shields your toes, so roots and rocks won’t catch you off guard. The Fresh Foam X midsole provides excellent cushioning, softly absorbing impacts during neutral strides and protecting your feet on longer trails. The Vibram Megagrip outsole grips reliably on both rocky and slippery surfaces. The low cut allows for ankle freedom, and the standard D width fits most feet. Founded in 1906 in Boston, New Balance continues to prioritize quality craftsmanship and comfort that you'll appreciate after every mile in the wild.

Maximum comfort on any terrain - New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro V9
Get ready for boundless adventure with the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro V9, the most iconic model in the trail shoe category. This shoe was designed for runners who love the freedom of movement in the outdoors and are looking for the perfect balance between extreme cushioning, durability and confidence on challenging terrain.

So you can rely on every step, the Hierro V9 features the legendary Vibram® Megagrip outsole. This ensures exceptional grip on dry and wet surfaces, while Toe Protect technology protects your toes from impact with rocks or roots.
Proven by professionals in extreme terrain
The qualities of this model have been endorsed by elite ultra-runners and New Balance brand ambassadors around the world. Robert Hajnal (star Romanian ultra-runner and medalist at the prestigious UTMB race), for example, relies on the Hierro for his longest training runs in the mountains. He particularly appreciates that the shoe can keep his feet comfortable even after tens of kilometres on technical terrain.
The New Balance Hierro V9 is the ideal trail shoe for runners looking for versatility - from forest trails to mountain ridges. It's the perfect choice for "off-road" running enthusiasts who don't want to sacrifice the feeling of ultimate comfort even in the harshest conditions.

Details
More than a century of tradition based on stable and reliable movement. These are the New Balance shoes, which have become a symbol around which a cult of comfortable walking and running lovers has been created during the 20th century. But beyond sneakers, New Balance is also at the forefront of everyday and sports fashion. Every year, a special collection is released and more than one football team boasts the NB logo on their jersey.
The history and development of New Balance shoes
On our website and practically anywhere else, you won't find a large number of brands as old as New Balance. In fact, as early as 1906, the New Balance Arch Support Company was formed to provide specific aids for each shoe. These were designed to not only provide comfort to the then not-so-comfortable shoes, but more importantly stability by supporting the arch of the foot - hence the name New Balance.
However, New Balance sneakers as shoes did not start to come out until many years later. Specifically, the first silhouette of a New Balance shoe saw the light of day in 1960 when the Trackster model came out. It was unique among the others primarily because it was the first outright running shoe with a crimped sole.
But the marketing didn't work very well and for a long time New Balance shoes were still a community affair. It wasn't until the 1970s that sales started to grow, with the popularisation of running, which was also linked to the hosting of the now iconic Boston Marathon. New Balance shoes began to become popular among runners and the company slowly but surely became a leading manufacturer of running shoes.
For running? Yes, but also no.
Today, however,men's and women's New Balance sneakers aren't just a running thing. Over years of branding and image building, they have become sneakers for almost every situation. Today we wear New Balance shoes before a trip to the countryside, a city walk but also a social event and still undoubtedly before a sporting performance.
New Balance sneakers can therefore be found in a variety of different designs. Men's and women's, in black and white and many other colours. The most popular models today are mainly New Balance sneakers with the 247, 373, 574 and 997. Of course, you can find all these New Balance shoes on Footshop. But besides these, there are also many others and the ranges of the latest silhouettes are constantly growing. So before you make your final choice, carefully examine all of our New Balance sneakers.
A record for stability.
New Balance footwear today is not afraid to venture into collaborations with other fashion brands, but also artists or athletes. It's not so long ago that the NB logo also started to appear on the jerseys of some football teams, and it's not impossible that the brand's influence and reach will continue to grow in the future. New Balance sneakers are worn, for example, by Trayvon Bromell, the American sprinter who became the first junior ever to break the magic ten-second mark in the 100 metres. Could it be that New Balance shoes helped him to achieve this?
In short,New Balance sneakers are a phenomenon that we have been wearing for many decades and everything indicates that we will be wearing them for many decades to come. And hopefully in greater numbers. The original intention of the brand, to make wearing sneakers on a daily basis more enjoyable, has not left New Balance shoes even more than a century after the legendary phrase was introduced to the market.
So be part of a tradition with a clear vision and name your sneakers with the iconic NB in the logo.
