FAQs
What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
The New Balance Tektrel Trainers are designed for less-travelled trails and varied outdoor terrain, including dirt, gravel, and light mud, thanks to their aggressive lug design for superior grip.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The trainers feature synthetic outer fabric and are designed for outdoor use, but they are not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep water may lead to them becoming waterlogged. Ensure they dry thoroughly after getting wet.
How should I clean my Tektrel trainers?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.
What is the primary benefit of the aggressive lug design?
The aggressive lug design provides enhanced traction and stability on uneven, loose, or slippery surfaces, reducing the likelihood of slips and improving confidence when navigating challenging trails.
Can these trainers be used for everyday walking in the city?
While they offer comfort and support, the aggressive tread is optimized for trails. For purely urban walking on hard surfaces, they might feel firmer or provide more grip than necessary. They are best suited for outdoor activities.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is flat, providing a stable base suitable for various outdoor activities.
What kind of fastener do they use?
They use a lace fastener, allowing for a secure and adjustable fit.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels too aggressive on pavement
This is normal for trail-focused shoes. The aggressive lugs provide grip on uneven surfaces; they may feel slightly less smooth on hard, flat ground. Consider using them primarily for their intended off-road use.
Shoes feel stiff initially
The footwear may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot's shape and movement.
Difficulty lacing evenly
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before putting the shoes on. Lace them systematically from the bottom up, ensuring equal tension at each eyelet for a balanced fit.
Waterlogging after heavy rain or puddles
While designed for outdoor use, synthetic materials are not fully waterproof. Allow shoes to dry thoroughly outdoors, away from direct heat, and consider waterproofing sprays designed for synthetic footwear if frequent wet conditions are expected.

Care Instructions:
