New Balance Men's Hierro Mid GTX
Our Take
The intention of the Hierro trail runner has always been to cover lots of ground on your trail running adventures and by adding a mid cut option this is a great option for the hiker or fast-packer who wants a little more ankle support. This version uses the same cushioned Fresh Foam X midsole and Vibram Megagrip® outsole to deliver durable traction on both wet and dry terrain as the running version, but adds more rugged leather to the upper to increase durability and support.
