Best praise vs top criticism for New Balance Fresh Foam Hierro v9
Best Praise
+7 pts“I have had my NB Hierro v9 a little while now. Have tried them in different terrains. Really like them on most terrain, especially when the ground is hard, only time I felt uncomfortable was in extremely technical terrain with a lot of roots, since I was afraid of rolling my ankle. Lower shoes may be more suited for that. I have never slipped, on rocks or roots or anything, so the grip is good. Main dislike is that the high soles kind of push my feet inwards, like Im tilting them. This is a bit uncomfortable after a while. But maybe I’m just not used to them”
