Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Tektrel V1 is a versatile trail running trainer designed for adult males who prioritize grip and durability on off-road terrain. Ideal for tackling muddy paths, rocky trails, and forest tracks, this shoe offers a balanced combination of comfort and rugged traction. While it excels in outdoor conditions, users should note that the aggressive outsole is specifically optimized for loose, uneven surfaces rather than smooth, polished indoor tracks.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The New Balance Tektrel V1 is designed for breathability and drainage, meaning they are not waterproof and may absorb water in deep puddles.
Can I use these for road running?
While you can use them on paved surfaces, the aggressive lugs are designed for trails and will wear down faster on asphalt.
How does the sizing compare to standard trainers?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; we recommend selecting your usual size unless you prefer extra room for thicker hiking socks.
Are these suitable for light hiking?
Yes, their rugged outsole and stability features make them a great choice for light hiking and outdoor walking.
How do I best dry my shoes after a wet run?
Stuff them with newspaper to absorb excess moisture and let them air dry in a well-ventilated space.
Troubleshooting
Outsole collecting too much mud or debris
Use a specialized boot scraper or a stiff brush to clear the tread gaps after your run to maintain grip performance.
Discomfort during long distance runs
Ensure your laces are secured but not overtightened; check that your socks are moisture-wicking to prevent friction and hot spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Tektrel V1 trainers, proper care is essential.
- Cleaning: After muddy runs, allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials. Once dry, brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush.
- Break-in Period: While these shoes offer immediate support, wearing them for a few short walks before long runs will help the materials mold to your foot shape.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry area. Avoid leaving them in the trunk of a car, as extreme heat can degrade the adhesive and foam properties.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the outsoles for debris or stones trapped in the tread to maintain optimal traction.
