FAQs

What kind of terrain is the Tektrel best suited for?

The Tektrel is best suited for trail running on various terrains, including dirt, gravel, and moderately technical trails.

How do I clean my Tektrel shoes?

Use a brush to remove loose dirt and debris. Rinse with water and air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Tektrel is not explicitly waterproof, but its materials offer some water resistance. For wet conditions, consider using waterproof socks or a dedicated waterproof trail running shoe.

What is the lifespan of these shoes?

The lifespan depends on usage, but typically trail running shoes last for 300-500 miles. Monitor the wear of the outsole and midsole for signs of degradation.

Can I use the Tektrel for road running?

While the Tektrel can be used for short road runs, it is designed for trails. The aggressive lugs may wear down faster on pavement.

What is the AT Tread outsole?

The AT Tread outsole is a New Balance technology providing versatile traction for both on and off-road activities.

How should I store my Tektrel shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight.

Loosen the laces or try a larger size.

Poor grip on wet surfaces.

Ensure the outsole is clean. Consider a shoe with more aggressive lugs for very wet conditions.

Premature wear of the outsole lugs.

Avoid excessive use on paved surfaces. Consider alternating with road running shoes.
