FAQs
What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
The New Balance Tektrel Trainers are best suited for off-road trails, including dirt paths, gravel, mud, and moderate rocky terrains, thanks to their aggressive lug design.
How do I determine my correct size?
The sizing is provided in UK women's measurements. It is recommended to consult a New Balance size chart or measure your foot and compare it to the UK sizing guide to ensure the best fit.
Can I use these for everyday walking?
Yes, while designed for trails, the cushioning and support make them suitable for general everyday walking, especially if you prefer a more robust and grippy shoe.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not explicitly waterproof but are constructed with synthetic materials that offer some resistance to light moisture. For heavy rain or wet conditions, waterproof trail shoes would be more appropriate.
What is the primary benefit of the aggressive lug design?
The primary benefit is enhanced grip and stability on challenging, uneven, and loose surfaces, providing confidence and reducing the risk of slipping.
How does the dynamic midsole contribute to performance?
The dynamic midsole provides responsive cushioning that absorbs impact during movement and offers energy return, contributing to comfort and reducing fatigue on longer runs or hikes.
What colors are available?
This specific model features a blue and green color scheme. Other colorways may be available for the Tektrel series.
Troubleshooting
Traction is poor on wet surfaces.
Ensure the lug patterns are clear of mud or debris. For extremely slick surfaces, proceed with caution as no tread is universally slip-proof.
Shoes feel too tight.
Confirm you have the correct UK women's size. If slightly snug, wearing thinner socks or attempting to break them in over shorter distances may help. Consider if a size up is needed.
Midsole feels stiff.
The dynamic midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks or runs initially to allow them to adapt to your foot's natural movement.
Synthetic upper shows signs of wear.
Inspect for tears or excessive abrasion. While durable, the synthetic material can be damaged by sharp objects. Clean regularly to maintain material integrity.

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
