help New Balance DynaSoft Tektrel v1 FAQ
What outsole does the New Balance DynaSoft Tektrel v1 use?
New Balance pairs the DynaSoft midsole with an AT Tread outsole designed for traction across on-road and off-road surfaces. The Tektrel also uses an aggressive lug pattern, so it is aimed at trail running rather than smooth road racing. [New Balance product page](https://www.newbalance.com/pd/tektrel/WTTTREU1-D-055.html)
What are the Tektrel v1's drop and weight?
New Balance lists an approximate 8 mm heel-to-toe drop and about 245.4 g, or 8.7 oz, per shoe on its product page. The exact weight can vary with size, and New Balance notes that the 8 mm drop is approximate.
Is the DynaSoft Tektrel v1 for trails or everyday roads?
It is listed as best for trail running, but the AT Tread outsole is intended to work on both trail and road surfaces. That makes it a better fit for dirt, gravel, and mixed routes than for technical mountain terrain requiring a rock plate.
What does DynaSoft do in the Tektrel v1?
DynaSoft is the midsole compound, described by New Balance as combining responsive performance with plush comfort. The shoe also uses a textile upper, a regrind overlay for added durability, and a corded eye row for a more secure lace hold.
