FAQs
What type of activities are these trainers best suited for?
The New Balance 471 Trainers are best suited for everyday wear, walking, light training, and casual activities due to their balanced cushioning and durable design.
How should I clean the leather and textile uppers?
Wipe the uppers with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, these trainers are designed for light activity and general wear. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for long-distance running like marathons.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is a combination of 78% EVA for cushioning and lightweight support, and 22% rubber for traction and durability.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The trainers feature textile cushioning which provides a basic level of comfort. For significant arch support needs, aftermarket insoles may be required.
What is the heel type?
These trainers feature a flat heel design, suitable for stability during various activities.
Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider a shoe designed with specialized grip patterns.
Leather upper appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear. For minor scuffs, a matching color polish may help.
Fit feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up fastening. If the issue persists, consider if this is the correct size or width for your foot. Insoles or thicker socks can also adjust fit.
Inner cushioning feels flat after extended use.
While the textile cushioning provides initial comfort, it may wear over time. Consider using aftermarket insoles for added support and cushioning.
