FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance trail running?
Yes, the responsive midsole and supportive upper are designed to provide comfort and reduce fatigue during long-distance trail runs.
Can I use the Tektrel trainers for hiking?
Absolutely. The aggressive lug design and durable construction make them well-suited for hiking on challenging and varied terrain.
How do I clean mud off the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove dry mud. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with cool water and mild soap, then rinse lightly. Always air dry.
What is the difference between Tektrel and other New Balance trainers?
The Tektrel series is specifically engineered for trail running, featuring aggressive lugs for grip and a more robust construction compared to road running or lifestyle trainers.
Are these waterproof?
The Tektrel trainers are designed for water resistance, meaning they can handle splashes and wet conditions, but they are not fully waterproof. For full waterproofing, look for specific Gore-Tex or similar membrane models.
What shoe size should I order?
It is recommended to refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. If possible, try them on in-store to ensure the best fit, as trail shoes often require a snug yet comfortable feel.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces.
Ensure the lug patterns are clear of debris. For extremely slick surfaces, tread carefully as no trail shoe offers guaranteed grip on all conditions.
Midsole feels too firm for comfort.
The midsole may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks or runs to allow them to adapt to your foot's shape.
Upper feels constricting.
Adjust the lacing to provide more room, particularly around the midfoot or forefoot. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Soles accumulate excessive mud.
After use, clean the lugs thoroughly with water and a brush to maintain optimal performance for the next run.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. The lacing system allows for adjustment to achieve a secure feel.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for trail running and hiking on varied terrain. They are compatible with most athletic socks. For road running, consider them for short transitions only.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
