The New Balance Tektrel is engineered to excel on demanding trails. Its aggressive lug design bites into soft ground, loose dirt, and uneven surfaces, providing a secure foothold crucial for navigating technical sections or steep ascents and descents. The AT Tread outsole offers a balanced grip, making it suitable for transitioning between softer trails and harder, rocky paths. The dynamic midsole delivers a springy and cushioned ride, absorbing the impact from roots and stones, which helps maintain comfort and reduce fatigue over long distances. Whether you're tackling muddy forest paths, gravel roads, or rocky mountain trails, the Tektrel provides the necessary stability and underfoot protection. The stylized upper not only adds to the shoe's aesthetic but also offers a supportive and protective wrap around the foot, keeping debris out while ensuring a snug fit. This shoe is ideal for trail running, hiking on challenging terrains, and any activity where reliable off-road traction is paramount.
Proper lacing is key for optimal performance and preventing blisters. Ensure the laces are snug, but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement and swelling during activity. Utilize all eyelets to secure your foot, especially on uneven terrain.
The New Balance Tektrel is designed for adult female trail runners and is compatible with various off-road environments, including dirt paths, gravel, rocky trails, and moderate mud. While its AT Tread outsole offers some versatility, it performs best in natural, uneven terrains. This specific model is a UK 6.5.
To ensure the longevity of your Tektrel shoes:
Cleaning: After each run, especially on muddy trails, remove loose dirt by tapping the shoes together. Use a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well) to clean the outsole lugs and upper. For stubborn dirt, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
