FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The Tektrel trainers offer good cushioning for trail running. For marathon distances, especially on pavement, you might prefer a shoe specifically designed for road racing, which often prioritizes lightweight, long-distance cushioning.

Can I wear these for everyday casual use?

Yes, the Tektrel trainers can be worn for casual use, especially if you appreciate their rugged style and comfortable cushioning. However, the aggressive lug design might be more than necessary for typical urban walking.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot length. Consider wearing the type of socks you'd typically use for running when trying them on or measuring.

What is the primary advantage of the AT Tread outsole?

The AT Tread outsole provides a balance of grip and durability, performing well on a variety of surfaces, from hard-packed trails to loose gravel and even some road sections.

How long do the aggressive lugs typically last?

The lifespan of the lugs depends on usage intensity, terrain, and maintenance. With proper care and typical trail use, they are designed to offer durable traction for a considerable number of miles.

Is the cushioning soft or firm?

The performance midsole offers a balance of cushioning and responsiveness. It's designed to be comfortable and protective for trail running without feeling overly soft or unstable.

Troubleshooting

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces

Ensure the AT Tread outsole is clean of mud or debris. For persistent issues on very slick surfaces, consider that no outsole is completely slip-proof.

Discomfort during initial wear

Allow the shoes a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks or runs initially and gradually increase duration.

Midsole feels too firm

The performance midsole is designed for responsiveness and support. Ensure you have the correct size; a shoe that is too small can feel firmer. The cushioning will also improve with use.

Upper material seems stiff

The stylized upper is designed for durability and support. Gentle flexing and short wear periods will help it conform to your foot shape over time.
