FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The New Balance Tektrel is designed for breathability and durability; they are not marketed as fully waterproof.
Are they suitable for gym workouts?
Yes, their stable base makes them suitable for general gym training, weightlifting, and cross-training.
How should I clean the black upper fabric?
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the structural adhesives.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Do these run true to size?
New Balance generally follows standard sizing, though the trail-specific design offers a secure, snug feel.
Troubleshooting
The laces feel loose during movement
Use a double knot or try a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to increase tension at the ankle.
Accumulation of mud in the outsole lugs
Gently tap the soles against each other or use a soft brush once the mud has dried slightly to dislodge debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance Tektrel trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt after outdoor use by gently brushing the outsole. If the upper gets muddy, use a soft cloth with mild soap and cold water, then let them air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Fit: Ensure you select the correct UK size, such as the 6.5 option, to prevent unnecessary friction or slippage inside the shoe.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the materials and prevent odor buildup.
