Full details
The New Balance 471 Suede Trainers in Black/Phantom are designed for adults seeking a blend of premium materials and everyday functionality.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light training. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specific support or shock absorption required for intense or long-distance running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
What is the purpose of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning, helping to absorb impact and offer comfort during daily activities and light workouts.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the sole offers traction, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in various adult UK sizes. Please refer to the product listing for specific size availability.
What does 'Phantom/Graphite' refer to in the color description?
This typically refers to a color palette combining a dark grey or black shade (Phantom) with contrasting lighter grey accents (Graphite).
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly and allow to air dry.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the sole using a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.
Feet feel warm during wear
Ensure socks are made of breathable material. The mesh underlays offer ventilation, but thick socks can limit airflow.
Discomfort around the ankle
The cushioned collar should provide comfort. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause pressure.
