FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The New Balance NB Tektrel trainers are designed for trail use and offer some resistance to moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.

What type of terrain are these best for?

These trainers are ideal for a variety of terrains, including dirt trails, gravel paths, and mixed surfaces. The AT Tread outsole provides versatile traction for both on and off-road activities.

How do I ensure the right fit?

This guide refers to a Size 8 UK. It is recommended to consult a New Balance size chart or try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics or preferred insoles if needed.

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

The Tektrel series is specifically engineered for trail running and outdoor use, featuring more aggressive traction patterns and durable uppers compared to standard road running or lifestyle trainers.

How do I clean mud off the shoes?

After allowing the mud to dry, gently brush off as much as possible. Then, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to clean the affected areas. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry.

Troubleshooting

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.

Ensure the AT Tread outsole is clean of mud and debris. While designed for versatility, extreme wet conditions may still reduce grip. Consider specialized footwear for highly slippery environments.

Midsole feels too firm for walking.

The midsole is optimized for running. Wear them for short periods to allow them to break in, or consider them best suited for activities involving more dynamic movement.

Upper material seems stiff.

This is normal for new trail footwear. Wear the shoes for progressively longer periods to allow the upper to conform to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on diverse surfaces due to the AT Tread outsole and lug design.
  • Comfortable cushioning specifically engineered for running.
  • Versatile for both trail and casual road use.
  • Durable construction suitable for outdoor activities.

Cons

  • Cushioning may be more suited to running than prolonged standing.

Care:
