FAQs
What type of material are these trainers made of?
These trainers feature a combination of materials, including leather and suede, with an EVA midsole and a rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 471 Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not specifically designed for high-impact running or athletic performance.
How do I clean the animal print pattern?
For the animal print areas, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture to preserve the print.
What is the benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning, helping to absorb shock and offer comfort during wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the herringbone outsole offers grip, the suede material is not water-resistant. It is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape. Keeping them in a breathable shoe bag is also recommended.
What size options are available?
These trainers are available in various adult UK women's sizes. Please refer to the sizing chart for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider the fit and potential need for a different size.
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a suede cleaning guide or product for appropriate methods, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Traction feels reduced
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Mud or excessive wear can impact grip. If significant wear is visible, replacement may be necessary.
Exposed foam sole is scuffed
Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, professional cleaning or repair advice may be sought.
