Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Tektrel trainers are versatile, trail-inspired shoes designed for adult men who need a reliable transition between rugged outdoor environments and casual daily wear. Featuring the signature AT Tread outsole, these trainers provide exceptional grip on diverse surfaces while maintaining a comfortable, low-profile silhouette for all-day use; however, they are primarily performance-focused and may feel firmer underfoot than dedicated plush walking sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Tektrel trainers are designed for breathability and comfort; they are not marketed as waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While capable of light trail runs, they are designed as a hybrid trainer for varied activity rather than a specialized long-distance running shoe.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently scrub with a soft brush, warm water, and a small amount of mild detergent, then let them air dry.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The midsole is designed with supportive foam that provides moderate arch support for daily wear.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance typically offers a consistent fit; if you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to opt for the larger size for active footwear.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the top eyelets for a more secure lockdown.
Accumulation of dirt in the outsole
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge debris trapped within the tread pattern to restore full traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal use, ensure you select your correct size to utilize the lace-fastening system effectively for a secure lockdown. To maintain the life of your trainers, remove excess mud or debris from the AT Tread outsole after outdoor use by tapping them together or using a soft brush. If they become significantly soiled, clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam and adhesives. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
