FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

The New Balance Tektrel Trainers are designed for breathability and may offer some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or damp trail conditions rather than heavy rain or water crossings.

What type of running are these best for?

These trainers are specifically built for trail running, offering excellent grip and cushioning for uneven and mixed terrains. They are also suitable for hiking and general outdoor activities.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.

Can I wear these for everyday casual use?

While stylish, their aggressive design is optimized for performance. They can be worn casually, but their primary benefit is realized during athletic activities on trails.

What is the main advantage of the AT Tread outsole?

The AT Tread outsole provides versatile traction, meaning it performs well on a variety of surfaces, both on and off the traditional road.

How often should I replace my Tektrel trainers?

The lifespan of trainers varies based on usage intensity and frequency. For regular trail running, consider replacing them every 300-500 miles or when the cushioning feels significantly diminished and the tread shows considerable wear.

Troubleshooting

Slipping occurs on wet surfaces.

Ensure the AT Tread outsole is clean. For extremely wet conditions, proceed with caution as no tread is entirely slip-proof.

Discomfort during long runs.

Verify the shoe size is correct. Consider using aftermarket insoles if additional arch support is needed.

Muddy build-up on the upper.

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely.

Laces become worn.

Replace laces with standard athletic shoelaces of a similar length.

Compatibility: Designed for adult female foot sizes. Ideal for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor fitness activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and mud after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
