Is the New Balance Men's Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 Trail-Running Shoes Brown 8 a good trail running shoe?

Yes — Spencer Imbach recommends the New Balance Men's Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 Trail-Running Shoes Brown 8 by New Balance as their trail running shoes pick. These fit the bill for Max cushion and price point. I've heard good things and trust new balance comfort. The only con here is they may start to feel a bit dead after 50km, vs the bounce/response of an H1 or the propulsion of an Ultraglide4. Still worth having on the radar
