Why Choose the New Balance 471?
The New Balance 471, introduced in the 1990s, was designed as a versatile trail running shoe that emphasised durability and comfort for off-road use.
Built with a rugged outsole pattern for traction across varied terrain, it offered runners confidence on trails while still being light enough for everyday training. The upper typically combined breathable mesh with durable suede or synthetic overlays, striking a balance between ventilation and support. Cushioning technologies such as C-CAP midsoles provided reliable shock absorption, making the 471 a practical choice for both performance and casual wear.
While not as widely celebrated as some of New Balance’s flagship models, the 471 reflects the brand’s dedication during the era to building shoes that merged technical function with long-lasting comfort.
