The AT Tread outsole provides versatile traction, making the shoes suitable for a wide range of on-road and off-road conditions.
The Tektrel is designed for trail running with dynamic cushioning. While comfortable, for very long road marathons, specialized road running shoes might offer superior cushioning and efficiency.

Trail running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles, but this can vary based on terrain, running style, and shoe care. Inspect for wear on the outsole lugs and midsole cushioning.

Care: To maintain the trainers' condition:
