Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Tektrel is a rugged trainer designed for adult women who enjoy trail running and off-road exploration. These shoes offer a blend of plush underfoot cushioning and high-traction durability, making them an excellent choice for versatile outdoor use; however, runners seeking a highly technical racing shoe may find them slightly heavier due to their protective construction.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Tektrel features protective materials but is not marketed as waterproof or Gore-Tex equipped.
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, the AT Tread outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on both paved surfaces and off-road trails.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance Tektrel generally follows standard UK adult sizing. Use your typical running shoe size for the most accurate fit.
Are they suitable for heavy trail hiking?
They are ideal for trail running and light hiking, but for technical mountaineering, a dedicated hiking boot with ankle support may be preferred.
How should I clean the exterior?
Wipe away loose dirt with a dry cloth or soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution and allow to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure the laces are snug and that you are using the top eyelet for a 'heel lock' lacing technique to prevent sliding.
Mud accumulation in outsole lugs
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the debris from the AT Tread lugs after your run to maintain maximum grip for your next outing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reliable traction on multiple surface types
- Enhanced comfort from plush midsole foam

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you select your standard UK size for the best fit. These shoes feature a traditional lacing system; adjust the tension from the bottom up to lock your heel in place without constricting the forefoot. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and structural foam. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after each use and air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. If the interior becomes damp, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
