FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by 70s running tradition, the 471 is designed for casual, daily wear rather than high-performance sports training.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a dry suede brush for routine maintenance and avoid water-based cleaners unless they are specifically formulated for suede.
Is the 471 a unisex model?
Yes, the New Balance 471 series is available in a variety of unisex sizing options to accommodate different foot shapes.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The wedge-shaped EVA midsole provides moderate, balanced support suitable for daily use, though it is not a specialized orthopedic shoe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can damage the suede material and affect the adhesive bonding of the sole.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt in the direction of the grain.
Water spots on the material
Lightly dampen the entire suede surface with a clean cloth to unify the appearance and allow to air dry away from heat.
Creasing at the toe box
Insert shoe trees when not in use to help the leather and suede maintain their structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 471 utilizes suede as its primary material, care is paramount. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or mud, as these can stain the nap of the fabric. To keep them looking fresh, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to warp or harden. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree to maintain their iconic shape.
