Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Tektrel trainers are designed for adult men who seek a versatile footwear solution for both trail running and casual daily wear. Combining performance heritage with a modern, blue-toned aesthetic, these trainers feature an AT Tread outsole for reliable grip across varied terrain and a cushioned midsole for sustained comfort. While they offer excellent durability and support for outdoor activities, users should note that they are primarily built for mixed-use, and may feel different from specialized technical racing shoes on extreme, highly technical mountainous terrain.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The New Balance Tektrel is designed for breathability. They are not waterproof and will absorb water if submerged or used in heavy rain.

Can I use these for road running?

Yes, the AT Tread outsole is designed to perform on paved surfaces, making them a great choice for mixed-terrain routes.

What is the primary surface for the Tektrel?

They are best suited for light-to-moderate trail use, gravel paths, and light urban road running.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, running shoes lose their primary cushioning properties between 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and body weight.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit is generally accommodating, but if you have extremely wide feet, we recommend testing them in-store for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability on loose terrain

Check that your laces are tightened securely to lock the heel in place, and ensure the tread is free from compacted mud.

Midsole feeling stiff after storage

Wear the shoes for a short walk to allow the foam to warm up and recover its natural elasticity.

Accumulated debris inside the shoe

Use gaiters if frequently running on very loose gravel or sand to prevent entry around the ankle collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance Tektrel trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure the lace-up system is adjusted to secure your midfoot without restricting circulation. The shoes are designed to fit true to size.
  2. Cleaning: Remove loose mud or debris from the outsole using a soft-bristled brush after trail use. For the upper, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water or using a washing machine, which can compromise the foam and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the upper materials to fade or the midsole foam to degrade over time.
  4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, air-dry them by removing the insoles and stuffing with newspaper. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the materials.
