FAQs

Are the New Balance 471 shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, individual foot width may require a slight adjustment.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede materials and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.

Are these suitable for running?

While inspired by '70s running shoes, the 471 is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for serious athletic training or distance running.

What is the primary material used?

The upper consists of breathable mesh combined with high-quality suede overlays.

Does the 471 offer good arch support?

The wedge-shaped EVA midsole provides a decent level of support suitable for most daily casual activities.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on the suede

Use a specialized suede eraser to gently buff the affected area until the mark is removed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance 471 shoes remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and suede surfaces.
  2. Suede Care: For the suede overlays, use a specialized suede eraser or a dedicated cleaning solution designed for delicate leathers.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray compatible with suede to guard against environmental elements.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
