Less suited to: Steep, rocky, technical ground where a lower, more precise shoe feels better. For that, look at Trail Footwear.

The Hierro has always been the comfortable one in the trail range, and v9 leans further into that with more cushioning and broader, deeper lugs. It fills the gap for people who want a protective trail shoe that still grips well, without going to a stiff, technical build.
