Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Tektrel is designed for adult male runners and hikers who frequent off-road environments such as forest trails, rocky paths, and muddy park routes. These trainers deliver a balance of reliable traction and sustained cushioning, making them an excellent choice for those seeking stability on uneven surfaces; however, their specialized outsole design is best suited for outdoor terrain rather than smooth, hard concrete surfaces.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Tektrel is designed for breathability on the trail; while the materials are durable, they are not marketed as fully waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, they are versatile enough for road use, though the AT Tread outsole is optimized for off-road grip and may show faster wear on heavy concrete.
How should I clean the outsole?
Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove trapped dirt and mud from between the lugs to maintain maximum traction.
Are these true to size?
Yes, the New Balance Tektrel fits consistent with standard UK sizing for adult male athletic footwear.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the internal insole can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on side-sloping trails
Re-tighten the laces using the 'heel-lock' method to secure the ankle more firmly.
Debris getting inside the shoe
Ensure the tongue is centered and pull the laces tight to close the gap at the throat of the shoe, or use a gaiter.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Tektrel trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
Setup: Ensure you select your standard UK sizing for the best fit, utilizing the lace-up system to cinch the midfoot securely before heading out.
Compatibility: These shoes are best used with moisture-wicking synthetic socks to manage perspiration during long runs.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After a muddy run, allow the mud to dry completely and then brush it off with a soft-bristled brush.
- Washing: Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the midsole cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
