New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 Dark Juniper / Black EBEFE0625

Reviewer jsartori

These are very comfortable. Great to slip on and off. Not the best for a workout but better for casual wear. Good for the price.

I bought for my brother and he really liked the design. It is important to note that the Heel of the shoe makes the shoe appear to be a bit longer than it is. The heel is also slightly elevated. My brother is normally a 10 so that’s what we went with but it was tight slightly so we returned and decided to go up a whole size. Even with the size mixup, my brother was very happy with the shoe and style.

Hubs loved! Came in the vans box, brand new and all. No odd smell or anything. Perfect fit ! Great price, found cheaper here then on other sites and fast shipping.

Surprised that I like these steel toed shoes. I work on concrete floors and my feet never hurt at the end of the day and I don't feel the steel toes.

Reviewer KG3

Very comfortable and the price is great! I ordered wider shoes and found these have good width for people with bunions. I will order another pair soon!

First off, I wear a size 14 in most shoes, including Five Ten Freerider mountain biking shoes. These are only made up to a 13. I heard that they come a little large though and decided to try them out. I'm not sure if this is true across all sizes, but the 13 is more like a 13.75. They ended up fitting me very well. So, be careful on the size.

The main reason I bought these though is that I LOVE the Stealth rubber soles on my MTB shoes and wanted to try out a pair of hiking/approach shoes from Five Ten. Even though the tread pattern doesn't look terribly aggressive, these are the best gripping trail shoes I've owned. They are comfortable all around with a reasonably wide toe box and good cushioning at the top of the tongue and under the ankle. The soles are stiff and took a little while to break in. I still wouldn't say they've "softened" all that much though. The bottom of the shoe is pretty stiff and the inner sole is not very cushy. They are comfortable for wearing all day though. I recently traveled with them for 10 days as my only pair of shoes both walking around town and hiking. So, they're fine. If you like a soft sole or lots of padding though, these are definitely not for you.

The only complaint I have is that these shoes do not breathe well at all. They're mostly a soft leather with a little bit of mesh. The mesh is thick though. My feet get hot in lots of shoes, but these are very hot. The flip side is that they do a decent job of keeping moisture out. During rainy hikes, my feet have stayed pretty dry. For me, the durability is nice. I've beaten up a lot of shoes hiking and I can tell these are going to hold up well. They're very well made and solid.

Overall, I really like these shoes. You just have to be good with the tradeoffs. They choose durability, grip and stiffness over being lightweight and breathable. And I feel like I should repeat that they are not cushy. They have stiff soles, but flex enough to walk around in all day no matter what the terrain. Give them a try if that's what you're after.

I'm not one willing to spend 100s of dollars on tennis/walking shoes. But, I do need the type of shoes that support and give comfort to my osto-knees. For, the money, these work for me. I bought a 2nd pair for down the road. I'm satisfied.
