FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the lace-up system allows for some adjustability, the Tektrel has a streamlined upper. For wider feet, it is recommended to try them on or consult sizing guides for a proper fit assessment.
Can I wear these for running?
The Tektrel is designed for hiking and outdoor activities, featuring a dynamic midsole and aggressive lug design. They can be suitable for trail running on less technical terrain due to their grip and cushioning, but they are not specialized running shoes.
What is the best way to clean the shoes?
After brushing off loose dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat.
How do the aggressive lugs help?
The aggressive lug design on the outsole provides enhanced traction and stability by digging into varied surfaces like mud, gravel, and wet terrain, reducing the likelihood of slips.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are designed for less travelled trails and varied outdoor terrain, offering excellent performance on rocky paths, forest trails, and moderate inclines.
Do these shoes offer ankle support?
The Tektrel is a low-cut hiking shoe. While the upper provides a secure fit, it offers less ankle support compared to high-cut hiking boots. They are best suited for trails where ankle stability is not the primary concern.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace-up fastening. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are snug throughout. For more room, loosen laces, particularly over the forefoot.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Ensure the outsole lugs are clear of mud or debris. If wear is significant, consider replacing the shoes as the aggressive tread pattern may be diminishing.
Discomfort during long hikes
Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks before longer hikes. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Check lacing for even pressure distribution.
