Overall
The Hierro has a nice balance of cushion to trail feel. The traction is fantastic. I’ve run 4 times on the wet, hilly trails of Forest Park in Portland and never had a slip. My only complaint is he stiffness of the protective upper around the toe causing some slight friction, but overall I’m ver happy with them.
