FAQs
Are the New Balance Tektrel trainers waterproof?
No, the Tektrel trainers are designed for breathability and traction on trails and are not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but will soak through in heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For tougher stains, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and a mild soap. Rinse with clean water and let them air dry completely away from heat.
What type of terrain are these best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for trail running and hiking on varied off-road terrain, including dirt paths, rocky trails, and moderate mud. The aggressive lug design provides excellent grip.
Can I wear these for everyday walking?
Yes, you can wear them for everyday walking, but their aggressive outsole might feel less comfortable on hard, flat surfaces like pavement compared to walking-specific shoes. They are optimized for trail performance.
Do these trainers offer good ankle support?
The Tektrel trainers provide standard support for a low-cut trail shoe. They are designed to offer a secure fit through the midfoot and heel, but do not offer specific ankle protection like high-top boots.
What is the cushioning like?
They feature a dynamic midsole designed to provide responsive cushioning, balancing comfort for impact absorption with energy return for a lively feel on the trails.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.
This is common with new trail shoes. Wear them for short walks or runs initially to break them in. The materials will soften and conform to your feet over time.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole lugs are free from debris like mud or small stones. Clean the lugs thoroughly. For extremely slick surfaces, proceed with caution as even aggressive lugs have limitations.
Water seeps into the shoe.
These trainers are not waterproof by design. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or trail shoes with a waterproof membrane, if available in the product line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The New Balance Tektrel trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adjust to the cushioning and support.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for trail running and hiking. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. While they can be worn on pavement for short distances, their optimal performance is on natural terrain.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your Tektrel trainers:
- Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt and mud after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
