Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
- Lace-up Fastening: Securely tie the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The `lace-up fastening` allows for personalized adjustment.
- Pull Tabs: Utilize the `pull tabs` on the heel for easy entry, ensuring your foot slides in smoothly.
- Break-In Period: While often comfortable out of the box, allow for a short `break-in period` over a few runs to let the shoe mold to your foot shape.
Compatibility
The New Balance Tektrel is designed for on and off-road activities. Its `AT Tread outsole` makes it suitable for:
- Trail running on dirt, gravel, and rocky paths.
- Light hiking and walking on varied natural terrains.
- Running on mixed surfaces that include both paved roads and natural trails.
Care & Maintenance
To extend the life and maintain the performance of your Tektrel shoes:
- Cleaning: After a muddy run, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water to clean the `synthetic upper` and `outsole`. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Insoles: Remove and air out insoles periodically to prevent odor buildup.
> Info needed: Specific care instructions for the `synthetic` upper material were not provided. General athletic shoe care is recommended.
