Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Tektrel is a trail-inspired trainer designed for adult men who require a versatile, durable shoe for both outdoor adventures and casual everyday use. Its primary benefit is a robust, high-traction outsole that performs reliably on uneven terrain; however, potential users should note that as a performance-oriented trainer, it is tailored specifically for a secure, athletic fit which may feel more structured than traditional lifestyle sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious marathon running?
The Tektrel is designed as a versatile outdoor trainer; while durable, it is not specialized for high-mileage road running.
How do I determine my correct size?
The Tektrel runs true to standard New Balance sizing. If you have worn the brand before, your usual UK size is recommended.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
Yes, the robust outsole is designed for varied surfaces, though they are not marketed as fully waterproof.
What is the best way to store the trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the synthetic materials.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Tektrel features a removable insole if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly restricted during long sessions
Adjust the lacing tension throughout the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling during activity.
Loss of traction on muddy surfaces
Clear packed mud from the outsole lugs using a stiff brush to restore the grip pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your New Balance Tektrel trainers, ensure you select your standard UK size for a secure fit. Before your first outing, consider testing them on a short walk to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every trail session.
- Washing: Avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for trapped debris to maintain optimal traction levels.
