FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for hiking?

The Tektrel trainers are designed for trail running and offer versatile traction suitable for on and off-road activities. While they can be used for moderate hiking, they may not provide the same level of ankle support or durability as dedicated hiking boots for very rugged terrain.

How do I know if I need a different size?

The trainers are designed to be true to size and offer a standard fit. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, you might consider trying on a pair or ordering your usual size and being prepared to exchange if necessary.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The AT Tread outsole provides good traction, but the trainers are not waterproof. They are suitable for light rain or damp conditions, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in wet feet. Always allow them to dry naturally afterwards.

What is the main benefit of the AT Tread outsole?

The AT Tread outsole offers versatile traction, meaning it performs well on a variety of surfaces, both on paved roads and natural trails, providing stability and grip.

How do I clean the stylized upper?

For the stylized upper, use a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or design.

What type of cushioning does the midsole offer?

The trainers feature a performance midsole designed to offer comfortable cushioning specifically built for running, providing a balance of softness and responsiveness.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight/loose.

Adjust the lace fastening for a more secure or relaxed fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size (true to size, but personal preference varies).

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.

Ensure the AT Tread outsole is free from debris. While designed for versatile traction, extremely slippery conditions may still require caution. Clean the outsole regularly.

Discomfort during runs.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Check that the lacing provides adequate support without causing pressure points. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before longer runs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable design built for challenging trails.
  • Stylish aesthetic for casual wear.
  • Secure and adjustable lace-up closure.

Cons

  • May require trying on for the perfect fit, especially for those between sizes.
  • Low profile cut might not offer as much ankle support as higher-cut boots for some users.
  • Primarily designed for trail running, may not be ideal for highly technical or extreme off-road conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. They are designed for adult foot sizes, specifically UK sizes 6-12, with this model being a UK 11. To maintain the condition and performance of your Tektrel trainers:

  • Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and mud with a dry brush after each use. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  • Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause shrinkage or material degradation.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
