FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 471 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer comfort and support for walking, they are not engineered for high-performance running.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the New Balance size guide available on their official website or retailer pages. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart provided. If you are between sizes, consider the width and intended use.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede and leather components. Machine washing can damage the materials and the structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning according to the care instructions is advised.
What is the heel height?
These trainers have a flat heel height, providing a stable and low-profile feel.
What does the 'fang' design refer to?
The 'fang' design is a unique visual detail located on the toe box of the trainers, inspired by the characteristic elements of 1970s running shoe aesthetics.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is made of rubber with a herringbone pattern, designed to provide good traction and durability for everyday urban use.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Try double-knotting the laces or replacing them with a different type of lace that offers better grip.
Slight discomfort during initial wear
This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they break in. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape.
Material appears scuffed or dirty
Use appropriate cleaning tools for the material. For suede, a suede brush or eraser can help lift scuffs. For mesh, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Refer to care instructions for specific guidance.
