Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Tektrel trainers are designed for active adults seeking a versatile shoe that performs equally well on pavement and light trails. Featuring a hybrid design with rugged traction and comfortable cushioning, they are an ideal choice for runners and walkers who prioritize stability and everyday wearability, though they may lack the extreme technical rigidity found in specialized professional-grade trail racing footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Tektrel trainers are made from standard performance fabrics and are not explicitly marketed as waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While they are comfortable for general wear and light trails, they are designed as a versatile trainer rather than a high-mileage marathon racing shoe.
What is the AT Tread outsole?
AT Tread is New Balance's proprietary outsole technology that blends road running and trail running tread designs for all-terrain versatility.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
New Balance is known for offering various widths in many models; check the specific product listing to see if wide widths are available for your selected size.
How often should I replace these trainers?
General guidance suggests replacing running/training shoes every 300-500 miles, depending on the terrain and your usage frequency.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Try a double knot or look into professional runner knots to increase friction and security.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces using the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing method to tighten the fit around the ankle.
Outsole debris accumulation
Use a toothpick or stiff brush to clear gravel and mud from the tread patterns to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Tektrel trainers, start by ensuring you have the correct size and checking the fit before your first long session. The lace-up system allows you to adjust the tension across the midfoot; ensure the laces are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation.
To clean your trainers, remove excess dirt with a soft-bristled brush after trail use. If they become muddy, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning and the adhesive used in the outsole construction. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
