Great review keep up the good work , I have a small question, the hierro 6 and the 1080 v11 both are on sale for the same pice in my local shop. Which one is the most durable and will Last me long time and which one should I get?
Great review. I am late to these Hierro V6's having only bought mine in 2022 when they were out in 2021, but I now have 2 pairs.Love them that much. The V7's are almost out and the outsole pattern has changed to a more aggressive lug pattern which will be better on trails
Hi Jack, Cheers 🤙 Oooo both real decent set's of shoes. I've actually had both for a while now and I'd say the Sense rides would hold up better in the real muddy trail situations. Hope that helps
Rad looking for a run trainer. Think i like the v5 visually over the v6 but similar enough. Always liked N's for performance and looks. Thanks for the first look
Great review, thanks! Have New Balance stopped producing the Summit Unknown? Are the Hierro V6 designed for similar terrain as the Summit Unknown, or is there a more comparable shoe in their range?
Sadly we think so for now. Designed for similar terrain although a more similar shoe is the new Fresh Foam More Trail v1. Have a look and see what you think
Bro your eyes! that's crazy. Is that the camera or are they really that turquoise gem color? How long will that foam midsole hold up and keep its shape?
The blue cross eyed boy 😆The foams actually holding up real well, think it's the hefty outsole stopping them from falling apart! still love the Hierros now 🤙
@@wiggle Just got my v5s of these. Super high quality. The foam is way way denser than videos and images lead on. Offers a lot of support for more of my pretty flat arch too, just because it has a nice shape. Its pretty wide with a good toe box. Some of the most comfortable shoes I've worn in years coming from traditional hiking shoes, Also a big fan of the Teva Grandview gtx hiking boot, as i bought those as well. Check them out if you need some boots! Thanks for the video and input!
@@zx45zx Great to hear you're getting on well with them, I'd be surprised if you didn't. I'll have to check out those boots as i've not got my feet in them yet. Cheers!
Wiggle, nice review. I have just received a pair of these and have to ask if anyone thinks the rear outsole extension can be trimmed. I wouldn't cut it right up to the Fresh Foam maybe hold it off 3mm or so. I work in a hospital wearing scrubs but I'm constantly on my feet and moving about. These are very comfortable with great support but I really don't like the look of the extension and don't need the heel protection.
Hi Jim, I 100% would say you could trim it off with a sharp stanley blade. It's only really there for running on rough trails so a hospital floor will be more than fine without them.
@@wiggle Managed to trim the stabilizer today. I drew a cut line on the shoe then cut it with a new bladed utility knife which left some cut marks. I smoothed the cut edge with a sanding cylinder on a Dremel rotary tool and it looks OEM.
I've got 50 mile race coming up I have used the 1080x foam which I've done 28 marathons in quick question are these really good for offroad and countryside and hiking 👍👍🙂
50 mile race! fair play! Yeah these are great for trail running, but you might want to go for an even more elite specilist trail shoe if your running super long distnace trail. There brilliant for countryside walks and hiking like many trail shoes are! Hope that helps
Hi TimVibes, be good for aggressive trails up a mountain for sure. If you're needing a shoe for scrambling or anything more, then I'd look for something more specific. Hope that helps
I meant ‘toe protect’... nah, I’m based in South Africa. Just thought if anyone was considering this shoe they should know. It’s damned comfy and one of the best fitting shoes I’ve ever worn. Rep here said I should just get a new shoe but gone back to Altra’s instead which is a shame. Was enjoying the cushioning in the Hierro but until they improve the quality of the material in the next version I wouldn’t consider it...
@@JAnth93 it’s a vibram hard/stiff sole so no it’s not anywhere near as comfortable as a running shoe on concrete. Just get the normal new balance fresh foam running shoes.
Hi Josh, been thinking on making a video on this. Similar shoes but the more trail are slightly more nimble and running specific offering a slightly faster run. Hope that helps
What do you think to the new Hierro v6... better with jeans on on the trails?

Much appreciated!

Awesome review mate, probably settled where my next pay cheque will go. Would you recommend these over Salomon sense ride?

Agreed, NB always keep it looking fresh
Really nice review on the product and answered my concern on the protrude part of the outsole, thanks
Thanks Steve, glad it was useful 🤙

@@jimsego172 Amazing! love a home mod that works! thanks for the share!
@@jimsego172 Have you got any photos of the trainers after you cut them? I am tempted to do the same but scared I'll make a mess of it.
My experience with New Balance is that you need to size up half a size
Own it, love it.
Hi, Is it waterproof?
Would you suggest them for everyday use? Thanks!
Absolutely, either as a casual shoe or daily trail trainer...great choice for both 👍

So annoyed, I procrastinated getting the V5 today for £75..... Lo and behold, it's not out of stock. DAMNIT!
😡👿😡
How does the weight compare with the 5?
What colour combo is this and where can I purchase these in the uk? Thanks.
Not many in stock...but here's all the info you need www.wiggle.co.uk/new-balance-fresh-foam-hierro-v6-running-shoes-1
With a 0-6mm drop it would probably be a great option for my running in a wide sizing - but 8mm is too much on the trail IMO.
Yeah fully understand what you mean. annoying when a shoe you like isnt quite setup for your setup.
Would these be good for light cliff climbing?
Hi TimVibes, be good for aggressive trails up a mountain for sure. If you're needing a shoe for scrambling or anything more, then I'd look for something more specific. Hope that helps
wonder how these would compare with the NB Fresh Foam Trail V1....
Similar, Trail V1s are a little more focused on performance running. Hope that helps
Are these easy to clean if they get muddy?
Yeah its all pretty much wipe clean-ish. Non of the material holds dirt that much...not perfect...but they aint wellies 😆
I have the shoe. After a month the tie protect has worn through!
Ah savage, If you bought through us feel free to contact our customer service team about the issue

Hey! How will this go with just walking on concrete?
Ah these are mega comfortable shoes for just walking around in too...no problem with that at all
@@wiggle so the sole won’t get destroyed on concrete?
@@JAnth93 I mean it's a trail shoe so it's pretty hard wearing 👍
@@wiggle thank you!
@@JAnth93 it’s a vibram hard/stiff sole so no it’s not anywhere near as comfortable as a running shoe on concrete. Just get the normal new balance fresh foam running shoes.
Will this work well for the 500 mile walk/hike Camino De Santiago???
They would be pretty ideal for it. Looks like a beautiful trail! good luck and enjoy it👍
Title of the video has typo. It is hierro
Ah good spot 👌 Thanks for the heads up
Can u pls compare it with more trial v1 :)
Hi Josh, been thinking on making a video on this. Similar shoes but the more trail are slightly more nimble and running specific offering a slightly faster run. Hope that helps
@@wiggle thanks :)
the only shot your missed was to put it on hahah
haha yeah my badddd!!! will get these in future videos 😅
Your voice sounds like Russell Brands.
🤣 I'll take that 🤣
You can find them on amazon for £83! Bargain
Nice, If there the real deal then thats a bargain! Cheers Jakub
