FAQs
What type of activities are these trainers best suited for?
The New Balance 471 trainers are best suited for casual wear, everyday activities, light walking, and social outings. They are not designed for intense athletic training or running.
How do I clean the animal print sections?
For the animal print, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this could damage the pattern. Allow to air dry completely.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning, which helps absorb impact and offers comfort during extended periods of wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the herringbone outsole offers traction, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
The trainers feature a lace-up closure system. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring your foot is secure without being constricted.
What does the 'low profile' design mean?
A low profile means the shoe has a relatively flat and close-to-the-ground silhouette, typically without significant height around the ankle, contributing to a sleek appearance.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average width feet. If you typically require wider shoes, it's recommended to check for specific wide-fit versions or try them on before purchasing.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area.
Laces coming undone easily
Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a pair that has a textured surface, which tends to hold knots better.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure the lacing is not too tight or too loose.
Animal print fading or scuffing
Minimize exposure to abrasive surfaces. For minor scuffs on the print, a specialized leather or print cleaner might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive rubbing.
