The New Balance Tektrel is built to empower your trail running adventures. On rocky ascents and loose gravel paths, the aggressive lug design truly shines, digging in to provide stable footing and preventing slips. The AT Tread outsole ensures you maintain grip whether you're climbing or descending.
During long-distance trail runs, the dynamic and performance midsoles work in tandem to offer consistent cushioning and energy return. This helps reduce foot fatigue, allowing you to cover more ground comfortably. Imagine transitioning from a smooth dirt path to a technical root-laden section; the Tektrel's midsole adapts, absorbing impact and providing a responsive feel.
For mixed terrain runs that include sections of road leading to a trail, the versatile AT Tread maintains respectable traction on pavement without feeling overly cumbersome, making it a true hybrid performer. However, its primary strength lies in off-road capabilities.
These shoes are ideal for female runners who seek a reliable partner for exploring varied and challenging natural environments, prioritizing grip, protection, and comfort.
Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for a secure, comfortable fit that prevents slipping or excessive pressure points. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience discomfort.
Break-in Period: While often comfortable out of the box, allow for a short break-in period (a few shorter runs) to let the shoes mold to your feet and for you to get accustomed to their feel on trails.
Intended User: Designed for adult female trail runners.
Terrain: Optimized for varied trail conditions, including dirt paths, gravel, rocky trails, and mixed on-road/off-road environments. The AT Tread outsole provides versatility for both paved and unpaved surfaces.
Activities: Best suited for trail running, hiking, and outdoor activities requiring robust traction and cushioning.
Cleaning: After trail runs, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well). For deeper cleaning, wipe the upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or in direct sunlight) or use a machine dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Remove insoles if they are particularly wet to help with drying and prevent odors.
Avoid: Do not machine wash your Tektrel shoes, as this can compromise their structure and materials.
