FAQs

Are the New Balance Tektrel shoes waterproof?

The Tektrel features a durable nylon upper, which offers good resistance to light moisture and splash, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or shoes specifically designed with GORE-TEX or similar technology.

Can I use these shoes for road running?

While technically possible, the New Balance Tektrel is specifically designed for trail running. Its aggressive lugs provide excellent grip on soft surfaces but may feel less comfortable and wear down faster on hard, paved roads. For optimal performance and shoe longevity, we recommend using them primarily for trails.

How do I choose the correct size for the Tektrel?

New Balance sizing can vary slightly between models. We recommend consulting the official New Balance sizing chart and measuring your foot length. It's often advised to try on running shoes at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and to consider wearing the type of socks you'd use for running.

What is the best way to clean my Tektrel trail running shoes?

After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. Hand wash with cold water and a mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials. Allow them to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight.

What kind of trails are these shoes best suited for?

The New Balance Tektrel is best suited for varied trail conditions, including moderate to technical terrains. Its aggressive lugs provide confidence on loose dirt, gravel, mud, and rocky paths, making it ideal for hilly, winding, and uneven trails.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs

Check your lacing technique. A 'heel lock' lace can secure your foot better. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks that prevent friction.

Lugs appear to be wearing quickly

The aggressive lugs are designed for soft and uneven trails. Frequent use on paved or hard surfaces can accelerate wear. Try to reserve these shoes primarily for trail use.

Discomfort or rubbing during extended use

Verify your shoe size using the New Balance sizing guide. Ensure your socks are well-fitting and designed for running. Check for any debris inside the shoe and adjust lacing pressure.

Shoes retain moisture and odor after runs

Always remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry completely after use. Stuffing with newspaper helps absorb moisture. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda for odor control.

Setup 1. Lacing: Ensure a snug but comfortable fit by utilizing all eyelets. A 'heel lock' lacing technique can help prevent your heel from slipping and reduce pressure points on long descents. 2. Initial Wear: Wear your Tektrel shoes for short walks or light jogs before tackling a long trail run to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. ## Compatibility These shoes are designed for trail running and are suitable for a wide range of trail conditions. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. For optimal fit, refer to New Balance's official sizing guide, especially if you are between sizes. ## Care 1. Cleaning: After each trail run, especially in muddy conditions, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or cloth. You can rinse them gently with cold water. Avoid hot water, as it can damage materials. 2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or become brittle. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. 3. Storage: Store your Tektrel shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
