Customer Images

Here's what customers have to say

The reviews provide a mixed assessment of the trail running shoes. Positives include a comfortable and cushioned sole with good traction, a breathable and durable upper, and a stylish design suitable for both trails and everyday wear. However, some users found the sole to be unstable, the fit too narrow, and the appearance different from the online images. Additionally, there were reports of quality and durability issues, as well as poor customer service. Potential buyers should carefully consider the fit, stability, and intended use before making a purchase.

Ordered these for my DC trip. These shoes are not only cute but they feel AMAZING! I enjoyed the style and comfort for walking the city.

LOVE NB athletic shoes!

Awesome shoes. Very comfortable - especially considering my 73 year old feet. I have used NB shoes for decades - running a marathon, several 10Ks, half marathon, and multiple triathlons. I hope to keep wearing them out over my remaining years.

Absolutely fantastic for long hikes

I just came back from walking 130km (80 miles) in them for 6 days and they are FANTASTIC!!! Not a single blister. I took another pair of shoes to rotate, just in case, and didn’t need to. I have wide feet so I ordered the W and highly recommend doing so.

New Balance Hierro

Happy with my purchase. I am training for the Grand Canyon and other National Parks next year. Fit is true to size. No surprises with fit and hugging my insole. Great shoe.

Arch Support

The right shoe doesn't have as much arch support. My foot bends in but both have excellent cushioning.

Great purchase!

They feel sturdy, the cushion is good (less than the 1080v14) and very grippy, great for gravelly hikes and the like. They're a little awkward on pavement and indoors bc of how grippy (a lil noisy) but that doesn't bother me.

Great for long distance walks

Love these! Bought for a long trip in Europe walking for 5 weeks. Super comfortable, lightweight and a nice grippy vibram sole. Been breaking them in the last few weeks but they didn’t really need it! Went for 10 miles the first day with no issues, hot spots or blisters. Highly recommend for folks doing long walks or wanting some extra cushion.
