FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 471 Trainers are designed with 1970s running heritage aesthetics but are best suited for casual wear and light walking, rather than high-intensity running.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and refresh the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the difference between the 471 and other New Balance series?
The 471 specifically draws inspiration from 1970s running shoe designs, featuring a particular silhouette and material focus that distinguishes it from other series which might cater to different eras or performance needs.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the herringbone outsole offers some grip, the suede and mesh materials are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
They can be worn with a variety of socks, from thin athletic socks to thicker casual socks. The choice depends on personal comfort and the desired look.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot length. Ensure you consider the UK sizing indicated. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred sock thickness and foot width.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The product description indicates a 'Flat' heel height.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes happen due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try loosening the laces slightly, or ensure the insole is properly seated.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with new ones of similar length and material. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially.
