Full details

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 471 trainers are designed for everyday wear and casual style, drawing inspiration from 70s running shoes. They are not intended for high-performance athletic running.
What materials are the trainers made of?
The trainers feature a combination of breathable mesh and hairy suede on the upper, with a wedge-shaped EVA midsole and a rubber outsole with a herringbone pattern.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to gently clean suede areas and remove dirt. For stains, refer to specific suede cleaning products and techniques, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The trainers feature a wedge-shaped EVA midsole designed for cushioning and general support during everyday wear. They do not have specialized arch support features for athletic purposes.
What is the intended fit of these trainers?
The 471 trainers are designed with a classic, low-profile silhouette inspired by heritage running shoes. They offer a comfortable fit for daily wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While the outsole provides traction, the suede and mesh upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides.
