FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While wearable on road, they are optimized for off-road trails and the lugs may wear down faster on asphalt.
How should I clean my Tektrel Trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt after it has dried, and wipe with a damp cloth if necessary.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, the dynamic midsole provides standard arch support suitable for most neutral foot types.
Are they waterproof?
The trainers prioritize breathability with a mesh upper, so they are not waterproof.
What is the best way to tie the laces for trails?
Use a double knot or a runner's loop (heel lock) to ensure the fit remains secure on uneven surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during the first few runs
The shoe features a rugged design that may feel stiff; continue wearing them for short walks to allow the materials to soften naturally.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened securely to keep the collar snug, or consider using gaiters if you are frequently running through loose scree.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance Tektrel Trainers, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Break-in period: Wear the shoes for short intervals on mixed terrain before attempting long-distance trail runs to allow the midsole to adapt to your stride.
- Cleaning: After muddy runs, allow the mud to dry, then brush it off with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can cause the adhesives to fail and the mesh to warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material breakdown.
