• Vibram Megagrip outsole with updated traction lugs gives you real confidence on wet and dry trail alike
• Toe Protect technology keeps your toes safe from rocks and roots without you even noticing it's there

• Dual density Fresh Foam X midsole with approximately 3% bio-based foam content
• 4mm heel to toe drop

• D width (standard) fit

• Runners who want a plush, protective trail shoe for long days out and building trail mileage
• Mixed terrain adventures across forest tracks, farmland, and gravel trails
• Anyone wanting serious comfort and grip without needing a highly technical, aggressive shoe
• Less suited to steep, technical, rocky terrain. The NNormal Kjerag is a better pick from our range there, built specifically for demanding mountain terrain with a lower profile and more precise, technical outsole

The Hierro line has properly stepped up in cushioning with the v9, and it's found a nice niche for trail runners who want comfort without giving up grip. The Vibram Megagrip outsole is genuinely excellent, and having that much protection underfoot makes it an easy recommendation for anyone tackling longer trail days or ultra distance efforts on more forgiving terrain.
