Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Tektrel trainers are designed for adult male outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable shoe that transitions seamlessly between rugged trail paths and paved road surfaces. Featuring an aggressive lug design for superior grip and a responsive midsole for comfort, these trainers offer high durability for off-road use, though they may feel slightly bulkier on casual street walks compared to dedicated road running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Tektrel features a durable mesh upper for breathability, but it is not marketed as waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running on road?
While they can handle road surfaces, they are optimized for off-road trails; a dedicated road shoe might be lighter and more efficient for pure asphalt marathons.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
New Balance typically follows standard sizing; we recommend measuring your feet while wearing the socks you intend to use for training.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the standard insole is removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running and trail shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and the ruggedness of the terrain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the lacing system at the midfoot to allow for expansion.
Mud accumulating in outsole lugs
Use a specialized rubber-bristle brush or a wooden toothpick to gently dislodge debris from the tread pattern after use.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tektrel trainers last, start by loosening the laces completely before putting them on to avoid stressing the heel collar. For cleaning, remove loose mud with a soft-bristled brush after every trail run. If the shoes become heavily soiled, hand-wash them with lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as the heat can compromise the adhesive and foam density. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the materials from drying out or fading.
