Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Tektrel is designed for trail runners seeking reliable traction and comfortable cushioning on varied terrain. These trail running shoes offer an aggressive lug design and AT Tread outsole for versatile grip, making them ideal for both on and off-road activities. A low-profile design, a pull tab for easy entry, and a lace-up fastening provide convenience and a secure fit. Note that while built for trails, the Tektrel is primarily designed for running, and not necessarily for technical hiking.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While the Tektrel can be used on roads, they are primarily designed for trails. The aggressive lug design might wear down faster on paved surfaces.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

Use moisture-wicking athletic socks designed for running or trail running to minimize blisters and maximize comfort.

How do I clean my New Balance Tektrel shoes?

Use a soft brush and lukewarm water with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.

What is the warranty on these shoes?

New Balance offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Check with the retailer or New Balance directly for specifics.

What is the lifespan of these shoes?

The lifespan depends on usage and terrain. Generally, trail running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles or when the cushioning or traction degrades significantly.

Can I use these shoes for hiking?

These shoes are suitable for light to moderate hiking, but may not offer enough support or protection for more technical or rugged hikes.

Are the Tektrel shoes waterproof?

No, the Tektrel shoes are not waterproof. They may offer some water resistance, but are not designed for wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight.

Loosen the laces or consider going up a half size.

Traction seems inadequate on wet surfaces.

Consider using specialized trail running shoes designed for wet conditions.

The shoes are uncomfortable after a few miles.

Check the lacing, socks and consider using insoles for added support and cushioning.
