Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Tektrel trainers are designed for adult females seeking confidence on less-travelled trails. Their key benefit lies in the versatile AT Tread outsole providing excellent traction for both on and off-road adventures, complemented by a comfortable performance midsole. A potential consideration is that these trainers are specifically built for trail running, which might make them less ideal for purely road-based activities.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for everyday walking?

While the Tektrel trainers offer good cushioning, their aggressive lug design is optimized for trail running. They can be used for walking, but may feel slightly over-engineered or less comfortable on hard, flat surfaces compared to trainers designed specifically for walking.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot length. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or ensure you are familiar with your New Balance sizing for trainers.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The AT Tread outsole provides versatile traction, which can be beneficial in wet conditions. However, the materials are not fully waterproof, so feet may get wet in very wet environments.

What is the main difference between Tektrel and other New Balance trainers?

The Tektrel series is specifically engineered for trail running, featuring an aggressive lug pattern and durable construction for off-road use. Other New Balance trainers may focus on road running, stability, or casual wear with different outsole and midsole designs.

How often should I replace my Tektrel trainers?

This depends on usage frequency and terrain. For regular trail runners, it's generally recommended to replace trainers every 300-500 miles, or when cushioning feels significantly diminished or the outsole tread is worn down.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the New Balance Tektrel series is available in various colorways, including Black, White, Pink, Grey, and Beige, each with potentially different secondary colors.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be obstructing the lugs.

Discomfort during runs

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check lacing for proper tightness – not too loose, not too tight. Consider wearing with appropriate athletic socks.

Upper material wear

Avoid harsh abrasion against sharp objects on trails. Follow recommended cleaning procedures to preserve material integrity.
