Sure, the New Balance 5740 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers M5740GHC is great—but is it waterproof? Enter the Hierro v6 GTX. Building on what made its dry-weather counterpart a trail runner’s dream, this Gore-Tex-reinforced shoe from New Balance now adds the ability to comfortably cross streams, run in the rain, or plod around in sub-zero conditions. If the v6 is a trail beast, the GTX is the Abominable Snow-shoe.

“The Gore-Tex version is definitely worth paying the premium price on,” said one shoe expert, and pretty much all reviewers agree. They didn’t regret shelling out the extra bucks ($160 vs. $135) for the water- and weather-proofing:
- “Able to literally dump water on your shoe and not have it get wet”
- “Can jump in small puddles to your heart’s content”
- “The only waterproof shoes I have tried that are truly waterproof.”
One runner added that when water does get into the shoe, it’s still able “to flush it out surprisingly well.”
Hella comfortable
The Gore-Tex material has made the Hierro v6 GTX’s upper stiffer and more snug. Even then, testers found its bootie-style construction and ample padding to still have a “relaxed and forgiving fit that prioritizes comfort over race performance.”
Trail runners also liked how this version’s lining is better at keeping dirt and debris from entering.

Users found the shoe to run slightly small and recommended going a half-size up. And while it does have a snug fit as mentioned earlier, the GTX Hierro v6 also comes in wide and extra-wide, making it great for runners who prefer thick trail socks, or those with “seriously wide flippers.”

Reviewers shared that the Fresh Foam midsole of the Hierro v6 GTX delivered a stable, “ultra-cushioned and forgiving ride” that was “consistently reliable” even over ultra distances.
Additionally, its thick stack is superb at absorbing shock even from the hardest of terrains, but does not have the type of ground feel that a less-padded shoe can offer.

Some experts weren’t too impressed with the grip of the v6 GTX’s Vibram outsole. They found it to be “dependable on defined trails,” but is somewhat lacking once conditions turn slippery.
Its durability, on the other hand, received high marks. According to one runner, his shoes “look basically the same as when they came out of the box” even after 100km.

Plenty of reviewers were puzzled by the “duck fin extensions” on the heel of the Hierro v6:
- “Quite odd, like a piece of plastic molding that wasn’t cut properly”
- “What are they for? They look weird and catch on stairs.”
One shoe expert stated that while this is supposedly meant to be for “more stabilization on the downhills,” he wasn’t sure it made much of a difference.
