Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 471 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a comfortable and stylish everyday shoe with a retro, 70s-inspired running aesthetic. Their key benefit lies in the combination of suede and mesh materials for breathability and a supportive EVA midsole for cushioning. A minor caveat is that the exposed foam tongue might not appeal to all users seeking a sleeker finish. This heritage retro silhouette features a sleek low profile, crafted from bi-materials with a nylon and suede upper, breathable mesh lining, EVA midsole, and a herringbone rubber sole. Contrasting leather accents add detail, and a classic lace-up closure ensures a perfect fit. Signature New Balance branding is present throughout, and they weigh approximately 263.45 grams with a 3.5 CM sole height. Made in Indonesia.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are tied evenly. If still uncomfortable, consider if a different size might be more appropriate, especially if feet swell during the day.
Suede material getting dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush for light dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution, following product instructions carefully.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the herringbone rubber sole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be hindering grip.
Discomfort during long walks
Ensure the laces are providing adequate support without being too tight. The EVA midsole offers cushioning, but for very long distances, consider adding insoles if further support is desired.
