New Balancemens Dynasoft Tektrel V1

Folks,I am 57 years old, and have been buying New Balance sneakers for well over 3 decades..I have always appreciated the company’s dedication to providing a high quality product that ‘everyone can wear’ to get good foot support – walking, jogging, running, or even hiking – instead of just selling out and peddling high priced sneakers with celebrity sports star endorsements..As I get older, I don’t like ‘white sneakers’ as much as I used to.. Too hard to keep clean!! LOL..And, sometimes I would even complain –Hey! New Balance! Love your sneakers!! But can you please stop with the new model numbers every few weeks? Good Lord! The 608s became 623s, and on and on!!Hey, New Balance!!! I just want a pair of sneakers, not a Bingo game!! LOL..Anyway, I went shopping on Amazon for a new pair of New Balance sneakers.. No white.. I wanted a pair with some color that would not need to be scrubbed with a ‘Mr. Clean Magic Eraser’ every time I walked on my lawn to fill the birdfeeder..And I saw these sneakers..New Balance Dynasoft Tektrel V1 Trail Running Shoes..And I fell in love!New Balance was offering them in a variety of colors, but the ‘Black Phantom Magnet’ color really appealed to me, so I took a chance and ordered a pair..Couple of notes –** I ordered these on December 12, and they just came on February 4.. But they were worth the wait!** Fit is -as always from New Balance - as expected!** Superb quality materials and construction, as always!** My pics cannot do these sneakers justice.. They are simply wonderful, and they look great – even out of the box before I bothered tying the laces!!** I cannot rate their performance on a hiking trail yet, but the ‘design of the soles’ on these sneakers looks to be ‘aggressive’ enough to handle many different surfaces, providing excellent traction while also providing support and comfort to the foot..** The ‘lacing structure’ of these sneakers is really cool!! The laces lace up at both the ‘tongue’ of the sneaker and the sides of the sneaker all the way down to the top of the sole.. The whole thing looks nice and I would imagine also provides extra support..Bottom Line – I highly recommend these sneakers! Another great product by the legendary New Balance! 5 Stars!!!

Got this for a gift and was well received. Says the shoes are comfortable and easy to walk in. Stylish too. He also took the shoes out on an easy trail run and it held up. Probably wouldn't take this on anything technical as the treads are not aggressive enough. But your local grass/gravel should be fine. Fits true to size.

New Balance trailing shoes offer a solid mix of comfort, durability, and traction for off-road running. With a well-cushioned midsole and a rugged outsole, they provide good grip on uneven terrain while maintaining a lightweight feel. The breathable upper keeps feet cool, though some models may run slightly narrow. Ideal for trail runners seeking reliable support and stability.

Fit is very nice. Seem well made. Let's see how they are in 3 months.

These are super comfortable and light weight! They look great too, were a great fit out of the box and I've received many compliments on them! I'm a size 12 all day with sneaks, hopefully this helps!

These fit well and are grippy and lightweight as well as comfortable.

I bought these shoes in preparation for a upcoming spartan race. So far pretty good overall. Light weight, comfortable, dry very fast and nice little bounce with every stride. Only thing I would've done differently was wear them around more to break them in. My feet hurt pretty bad after a 13mile run.

I bought these shoes to hike around Peru and Machu Picchu. I am not much of a hiker and needed all the help I could get!I wore them around the house before we left to break them in. At first, I was a little concerned they were a little tight, but they turned out to be perfect. I like the color/design, and they are lightweight.
