Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are the New Balance Tektrel trainers waterproof?

The product information does not specify waterproofing. They are designed for general trail running and outdoor use, so they offer some resistance to light moisture but are not fully waterproof.

How do I choose the correct size?

These trainers are described as a standard fit and true to size. It is recommended to order your usual UK shoe size.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.

What type of running are these trainers best suited for?

They are well-suited for trail running and mixed-terrain running due to their aggressive lug design and versatile AT Tread outsole. They can also be used for general fitness and casual wear.

How durable is the AT Tread outsole?

The AT Tread outsole is designed for versatile traction and should offer good durability for mixed-terrain use. However, aggressive use on abrasive surfaces like concrete can lead to faster wear.

What is the main benefit of the dynamic midsole?

The dynamic midsole provides comfortable cushioning to absorb impact during runs and offers a responsive feel, helping to reduce fatigue over distance.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Ensure the AT Tread outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For significantly worn lugs, consider replacement if traction is severely compromised.

Discomfort or pressure points

Verify the shoe size is correct and that laces are appropriately adjusted – not too tight, not too loose. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods.

Upper material showing wear quickly

Avoid excessive abrasion against rough surfaces. If cleaning, use gentle methods and avoid harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

  • Comfortable cushioning for extended wear and running.
  • Versatile design suitable for both trail running and casual use.
  • Durable construction for challenging outdoor environments.
  • True-to-size fit for easy ordering.

Cons

  • May offer less specialized performance compared to dedicated trail-only shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance Tektrel trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for a wide range of users and activities, from dedicated trail running to casual walking and everyday wear. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the stylized upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) to remove mud and debris from the aggressive lug design and AT Tread outsole. A damp cloth can be used for the remaining sole surfaces.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure. Stuffing the shoes with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
