FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The New Balance Tektrel Utility trainers feature a mesh upper for breathability, which is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light trail conditions.
Can I use these for road running?
While you can run on roads in them, they are specifically optimized for trail surfaces. You may find them firmer than road-specific running shoes.
How do I ensure I ordered the right size?
Check the UK size on your previous New Balance footwear, as they generally maintain consistent sizing across their performance models.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the standard insole is typically removable if you need to replace it with a custom orthotic insert.
How should I clean the mesh material?
Gently scrub the mesh with a soft brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent. Do not soak the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or a runner's loop (heel lock) to ensure the laces stay secure throughout your workout.
Upper material showing dust or mud stains
Use a soft brush once the mud has dried to flick off debris, then spot-clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tektrel Utility trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box for comfort during extended use.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down synthetic parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen or fade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area to maintain the integrity of the cushioning and upper mesh.
