FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While comfortable for everyday walking, the New Balance Tektrel sneakers are not specifically designed for high-impact running or intense athletic training. They are best suited for casual wear and light activities.
How do I determine my size?
We recommend referring to the official New Balance sizing chart. If possible, try on the sneakers to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary slightly between models and personal preference.
Can I machine wash my Tektrel sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for proper cleaning methods.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort and breathability, we suggest wearing athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials. This will help keep your feet dry and comfortable throughout the day.
Are these sneakers slip-resistant?
The rubber outsole provides good everyday traction on typical surfaces. However, they are not specifically rated as slip-resistant footwear for industrial or highly oily/wet environments.
Do I need to 'break in' these sneakers?
Due to their comfort-focused design and synthetic upper, significant break-in time is generally not required. They should feel comfortable from the first wear, but a short period of light use can help them conform to your feet.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing techniques (e.g., skip eyelets for pressure points). Ensure you have the correct size; New Balance sizes can vary slightly, so check their sizing guide if purchasing online.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and ensuring they are completely dry before reinserting. If it's the outsole, check for debris caught in the tread.
Outsole seems to lack grip.
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or smooth spots, which indicate it may be losing its tread. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud, oil, or other slippery substances. If heavily worn, consider replacing the sneakers for safety.
Upper material has scuff marks or minor stains.
For synthetic uppers, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap to gently wipe the affected area. Avoid scrubbing too hard. For tougher marks, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for synthetics might be necessary. Always spot test first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sneakers are primarily designed for casual daily wear and light activity. They are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe. They are not recommended for intensive sports or extreme weather conditions due to their general-purpose design.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Tektrel sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For synthetic materials, gently wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the material. Let air dry away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water to scrub dirt and debris from the rubber outsole. Rinse clean.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
