FAQs

What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

The New Balance Tektrel is specifically designed for trail running and off-road activities. Its AT Tread outsole provides versatile traction for dirt paths, gravel, rocky trails, and even short sections of road.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The AirMesh upper is designed for lightweight breathability and ventilation, which means it is not waterproof. It will allow for airflow to keep your feet cool but will not prevent water from entering in wet conditions.

How does the Dynasoft midsole benefit my running?

The Dynasoft midsole provides structured cushioning that is built for stability, especially on uneven surfaces. It helps absorb impact, offering a comfortable and supportive ride during your trail runs.

Can I use these shoes for everyday walking or gym workouts?

While primarily designed for trail running, the comfortable cushioning and supportive structure of the Tektrel make them suitable for everyday casual wear. However, their aggressive lugs might feel different on flat indoor surfaces compared to dedicated gym shoes.

How do I ensure the best fit with the lacing system?

The corded-eyerow lacing system is designed to lock down the midfoot for lateral stability. To get the best fit, start lacing from the toes upwards, ensuring even tension. Pull the laces firmly but not overly tight, and use the heel pull tabs to settle your foot securely into the shoe before tying the knot.

What is the AT Tread outsole?

The AT Tread outsole is a specialized rubber compound designed by New Balance to provide versatile traction. It combines elements for both on-road and off-road grip, ensuring reliable performance across a variety of surfaces you might encounter on a trail run.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs

Ensure your lacing is neither too tight nor too loose. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find what best suits your foot shape. Verify you have the correct size and consider trying different running socks designed to prevent friction.

Reduced traction on certain surfaces

While the AT Tread outsole offers versatile traction, extremely muddy, icy, or wet rock surfaces can still be challenging. Exercise extra caution in these conditions. Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris that might reduce grip.

Shoes feel heavy after a wet run

The AirMesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. After running in wet conditions, remove insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, then air dry in a well-ventilated area. Never force dry with heat.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot'. The corded-eyerow system helps keep tension, but a robust knot is essential for preventing loosening during dynamic activity.

Pros and Cons

  • Comfortable and stable cushioning for long runs on uneven surfaces
  • Secure and precise fit that stabilizes the foot laterally

Setup:To wear your New Balance Tektrel shoes, simply slip your foot in, utilizing the convenient heel pull tabs. Lace up the shoes, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The corded-eyerow lacing system allows for precise adjustment to secure the midfoot, providing optimal lateral stability. Make sure the laces are neither too tight (to avoid pressure points) nor too loose (to prevent foot slippage).## Compatibility:These shoes are primarily designed for trail running and off-road activities, including varied terrains like dirt paths, gravel, and rocky trails. The AT Tread outsole provides versatile traction that can also handle short stretches of road, making them suitable for mixed-terrain runs. They are ideal for female adult runners seeking stability and comfort on natural surfaces.## Care:To maintain your New Balance Tektrel shoes, clean them regularly. Remove loose dirt and debris using a soft brush or damp cloth after each run. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with cold water and gently scrub soiled areas with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials. Rinse thoroughly with cold water. Air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can warp materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the shoe's structure and performance.
