Difficult terrain, easy solution: New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v8, the trail running shoes that take you further

Every trail runner starts - or tries to start - his adventure in this ideal scene: the sun is just beginning to rise over the horizon line, you feel the cool breeze brushing your face, and in front of you stretches a trail that promises challenges and spectacular views. The sounds of nature around you invite you to move, to discover what awaits you beyond the next hill. All is quiet. Well, almost everything.

Your heart is beating fast. You're ready for that connection with nature, for that moment of pure freedom that only a good hike in the great libre can offer. But then comes that doubt: do you have the right trail runningshoes to face any kind of terrain, without sacrificing comfort and safety? If your answer is NO, at RUNNEA we have the solution: the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v8.

The unpredictable trails of trail running, always with the right material.

If you are a lover of libre activities such as trail running or hiking, you know that the terrain is an unpredictable factor, and that is why it is very important to keep it in mind at all times. Whether you're a beginner looking for easy routes or a more experienced runner who challenges your limits every weekend, the environment always has something unexpected up its sleeve.

Loose stones, mud, sharp rocks, wet trails after a rain... The terrain can transform from firm to slippery in a matter of meters. So to all this must be added the question of safety. One bad slip or misstep can ruin your day, or worse, put your health at risk. And then an essential question surge: is that model on your feet up to the challenge?

The solution: the New Balance Fresh Foam Hierro v8.

When you head out into the roughest terrain, you need more than just a good pair of trail runningshoes. You need a reliable tool, designed to resist, protect and enhance your performance. The New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v8 has all these characteristics to become your ally to be one step ahead of what you can find in the mountains.

Next-Generation Fresh Foam X Cushioning

The first element you'll notice with Fresh Foam X Hierro v8 is their unmatched cushioning system. We're not just talking about comfort here, we're talking about that smooth feeling you get with every stride, as if you're floating over even the roughest terrain.

Fresh Foam X technology is not only about making you feel light, it is designed to absorb impacts, allowing you to run long distances or walk for hours, reducing the impact on your joints, and delaying the onset of muscle fatigue.

Vibram Megagrip outsole

Has it ever happened to you that, when crossing a stream or walking on a rocky slope, your feet slip? With the Vibram Megagrip outsole of this eighth edition of the FFx Hierro, that worry is a thing of the past. The grip is unmatched on both dry and wet surfaces. Whether you're tackling rocky terrain, mud or wet ground after a rainstorm, the outsole of this iconic New Balance trailshoe gives you the stability you need to move forward with confidence and assurance.

Protection and durability

Fresh Foam X Hierro v8 are built for endurance. With Toe Protectentoe cap reinforcementand scuff- and impact-resistant materials, you can be sure your feet will be well protected, even when the trail gets more technical and rugged. Every time your feet hit a rock or trip over a root, you'll be protected by a subtle but effective barrier.

Breathability and thermal comfort

Comfort doesn't end with cushioning. We know that on mountain trails, the weather can vary: you can start out in cold temperatures, and before you know it, you're sweating in the sun. The New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v8 is designed with breathable materials that allow air to circulate freely, keeping your feet cool and dry even during the most intense and longest hikes.

The RUNNEA Trail Team's experience with the New Balance FFx Hierro v8

I tell you the story of Raúl Lozano, one of our RUNNEA Trail Team members, a trail running enthusiast who embarked on one of the most demanding routes he knew: an ultra race, the VDA of Val d'Aran with a brutal vertical drop 3 about500 meters positive.

He used to wear other types of shoes, but the demands of the terrain forced him to look for something that would offer better performance. That's when he decided to try the New Balance X Fresh Foam Hierro v8. And this is how Raul describes his experience:

The difference was immediate. From the first kilometers I felt a lightness in each stride that I had not experienced before. Steep downhills, where I normally slipped a bit, became stretches where my feet stayed firm, thanks to the Vibram outsole. Also, on long climbs, the cushioning gave me confidence that my feet would not suffer from impacts. It was as if I was made for this type of route. Up until the moment the ultra was suspended, I was running with energy, and my feet, despite the 50 kilometers run, were in perfect condition.

Those are the stories we want to hear at RUNNEA. Because we know that every trail runner, like you, has a pending adventure. A mountain to summit. A trail still to conquer.
