After 118 km on trails, a runner finds the Hierro v8 too soft and tall for technical terrain, unstable on corners and needing very tight lacing.

“I've now worn the Hierro v8's for 118km of trail running, and I'm sad to say they haven't lived up to the Hierro v7's.”

A runner calls the Hierro v8 a favourite, taking it to 850 km before the upper tore; they found the v9 less durable.

“Hierro v8 have been one of my favourite shoes, I managed to bring them to 850 km, the upper had a really big tear on the side by then though.”

A runner who owns both says the Hierro v8's Vibram outsole is the worst; they slipped and had an accident in Lisbon wearing it.

“V8s are worst one because it uses the cheapest vibram”

After 200 miles in the Hierro v8, a runner plans to buy it again.

“I've been running in New Balance Hierros V8 for the past 200 miles and plan to buy version 8 or 9 again”
