  • Our take on the New Balance U471 Sneaker

    The U471 is a low-profile New Balance lifestyle sneaker that borrows the 574's chunky, retro running shape and rebuilds it with a mixed suede, mesh and leather upper. The platform sole and EVA foam midsole give it more height and cushioning than a flat canvas sneaker, while the rubber outsole and lace-up build keep it durable for daily wear. It is unisex and comes in a wide size run, so it suits people who want a retro-looking everyday shoe rather than a performance runner. Against the classic 574 it is a fashion-leaning take with a taller stance; against slim retro rivals it is heavier and roomier.

    Questions and answers

    Is the U471 the same as the New Balance 574?
    No. It shares the 574's retro running shape but sits on a taller platform sole and uses its own mixed-material upper. Treat it as a fashion variant rather than an identical shoe.
    Does the U471 run true to size?
    New Balance lifestyle shoes generally fit true to size, and this unisex model follows that pattern. If you wear wide widths or thick socks, consider going up half a size.
    Is it good for running or the gym?
    No. The EVA midsole and platform sole are built for casual walking and standing, not for running or lateral training. Use a dedicated running shoe for sport.
    Is the U471 waterproof?
    No. The mesh and textile panels breathe but let water through, and there is no Gore-Tex membrane. Avoid it for wet weather or expect damp feet.
    What is the upper made of?
    A mix of suede, mesh, textile, synthetic and leather layers over a foam and EVA midsole, with a rubber outsole and a leather and textile insole.
    Can I wear it with wide feet?
    The unisex build and layered upper give a roomier fit than slim retro sneakers. Try your usual size first and size up if the toe box feels tight.
