Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 471 trainers are designed for adults seeking a stylish and comfortable option for leisure activities. Their key benefit lies in blending '70s running heritage with modern everyday wearability, offering a low-profile silhouette. A potential caveat is that they are primarily designed for leisure, not high-performance athletic training.

FAQs
Are the New Balance 471 trainers suitable for running?
The 471 trainers are designed with a runner-style aesthetic for leisure and everyday wear. They are not engineered for performance running and may lack the specific support and cushioning required for intense athletic training.
What material are the New Balance 471 trainers made of?
These trainers feature a combination of breathable mesh uppers and hairy suede overlays, with a rubber outsole and an EVA midsole.
How should I clean my suede and mesh trainers?
Suede should be cleaned with a suede brush and specialized cleaners if needed. Mesh can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air dry away from heat. Avoid machine washing.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the suede and mesh offer some protection, these trainers are best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the suede and affect comfort.
What does the '70s running heritage' refer to?
This refers to the design inspiration drawn from running shoe styles popular in the 1970s, incorporating classic silhouettes, materials, and design elements like the low profile and wedge midsole.
Are these trainers available in other colors and sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 471 series is available in various colorways and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to the overall comfort of the trainers for everyday use.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit on first wear.
Suede and mesh can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Avoid wearing them outdoors until they feel comfortable.
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult specific suede cleaning product instructions.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Ensure laces are tied with a secure knot. If the lace material is particularly smooth, consider double-knotting them or replacing them with laces that have more texture.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Suede: For suede areas, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing.
