Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 471 shoes remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and suede surfaces.

- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray compatible with suede to guard against environmental elements.
