Our Take

The intention of the Hierro has always been to cover lots of ground on your trail running adventures but it is a great shoe for anyone who enjoys a little extra cushioning and comfort. The newest version uses the same cushioned Fresh Foam X midsole and Vibram Megagrip® outsole to deliver durable traction on both wet and dry terrain.  Reduced weight and fewer but deeper lugs on the outer-sole make up the bulk of the changes this year.  A slightly extended outsole in the heel area provides increased surface area for downhill running.  Mostly we like the versatility of the fit and the overall comfort of the midsole to get your through your runs.
