Fresh Foam X Hierro V8 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Fresh Foam X is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology that provides a soft and comfortable feel while running. It absorbs shock from impacts and offers energy return, helping to propel you forward. The updated "X" version means improved performance, making your runs more enjoyable and efficient.

Vibram Megagrip is a high-performance rubber outsole designed to offer excellent traction on both wet and dry surfaces. This technology is especially beneficial for trail running, as it helps prevent slipping and provides stability on uneven terrain, ensuring you can run confidently in various conditions.

The midsole is the layer between the outsole and insole, crucial for cushioning and support. In this shoe, the Fresh Foam X serves as the midsole, providing exceptional comfort and shock absorption during your runs. This means less fatigue and a more enjoyable running experience.

The drop measurement indicates the height difference between the heel and forefoot of the shoe. An 8mm drop means the heel is 8 millimeters higher than the toe. This can influence your running posture and stride, with different drops catering to various running styles. Choosing the right drop can enhance your comfort and performance.

A neutral support type shoe is designed for runners with a neutral gait, meaning their feet do not excessively roll inward or outward. This type of shoe provides balanced cushioning and support, making it suitable for a variety of foot shapes and running styles. If you have a neutral gait, this shoe will offer the comfort and stability you need.

Fresh Foam X stands out due to its unique design that prioritizes both comfort and energy return. Compared to other cushioning technologies, it offers a softer feel while still providing the necessary support and shock absorption. This makes it an excellent choice for runners looking for a balance between plush comfort and performance.
