Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 471 Low Shoe is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro running heritage and modern casual style. Its key benefit is the premium material selection offering a natural, casual look combined with classic design elements for everyday wear. A potential consideration is that these are styled after 1970s running shoes, which may offer less cushioning or support compared to contemporary performance athletic footwear. This shoe features a sleek low profile, a wedge-shaped EVA midsole, and a herringbone-patterned outsole, all built with high-quality materials.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance 471 is designed as a casual lifestyle shoe inspired by running heritage, not as a performance running shoe. For dedicated running, specialized running footwear is recommended.
What materials are the shoes made of?
The shoes feature a combination of premium materials, including synthetic, mesh, and leather, depending on the specific colorway.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is recommended to consult the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot. For the 471 Low Shoes, refer to the UK sizing provided.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the main design inspiration for the 471?
The 471 is inspired by the visual elements and running heritage of the 1970s era.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The shoes feature a wedge-shaped EVA midsole for cushioning, but they are not specifically designed with advanced arch support for orthopedic needs. For significant arch support requirements, consult with a footwear specialist.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoe is new, wear it for short periods to allow the materials to break in. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a more relaxed fit.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to air trapped between components. Try wearing them for a while; the sound often resolves on its own. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Dirt or stains on the upper
Refer to the 'Care Instructions' above. For specific stains, test a mild cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
