We're wearing the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 trail running shoes when we take a step through the trees. Raised midsole sidewalls and midfoot laces keep our foot planted on a cushioned platform , and flexible foam and rubber follow the terrain keeping us upright on the roots stones and pine cones. This pair, equipped with multi-directional lugs holds us securely on the ups and downs of the trail allowing us to get lost in the flow.
