FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Tektrel features a breathable mesh upper which allows for airflow; it is not classified as waterproof.

Do I need to size up for hiking socks?

The Tektrel fits true to size. If you prefer exceptionally thick winter hiking socks, you might consider a half-size up, but generally, your standard size will work.

Can I use these for road running?

While they are comfortable enough for pavement, the rugged outsole is optimized for trails and will wear down faster on harsh concrete surfaces.

How do I ensure a proper fit?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to prevent impact during descents.

Is the midsole removable?

Most New Balance trail trainers feature removable inserts, allowing for the potential use of custom orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Foot slippage inside the shoe

Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets upward to ensure a snug fit across the midfoot.

Mud accumulation in outsole

Tap the soles together or use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the lugs after your run to maintain traction.

Material stiffness

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the materials to flex and mold to your foot shape before tackling long trails.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight feel prevents fatigue during extended wear
  • Versatile design transitions well between trail and casual use
  • Excellent grip provided by the technical outsole pattern
  • True-to-size fit for consistent sizing

Cons

  • Limited to black colorway in standard models
  • Not intended for technical rock climbing or steep alpine conditions
  • Mesh material may require regular cleaning in muddy environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance Tektrel trainers remain in peak condition:

  1. Fitting: These shoes fit true to size; ensure your heel is locked in when tying the laces to prevent slippage.
  2. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every hike. For deeper cleans, use a mild detergent and a cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam and glue.
  3. Drying: Air dry only in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the upper mesh and midsole cushioning from deteriorating over time.
