New Balance® 471 unisex sneakers
and they're now famous for kicks that combine fashion and function—just ask any true sneakerhead. Their 471 style evokes the lived-in look of '70s running shoes with breathable mesh fabric, textured suede details and its signature "fang-shaped" overlay. We love them paired with jeans and day dresses alike. Please note that sizes listed are men's. To find your size in women's, subtract 1.5 from your normal size for the best fit. For example, a women's size 8.5 is a men's size 7.

Some customers suggested updating the product description to clearly highlight the unisex sizing details. Overall, the shoes are appreciated for their chic neutral style and ability to pair with almost everything.

Comfortable and Stylish
1 week agoI am able to wear these to work with slacks. They are comfortable for all day wear while still feeling stylish. True to size if you follow the sizing instructions since they are unisex.

Chic sneakers
October 12, 2025Love these sneakers! They go with almost everything and are super comfortable. They run slightly small— I’m usually a women’s 6.5 and the unisex 5.5 juuuust fit. I probably could have gone up a half size but these work.

Beware sizing is in Unisex/Men’s!!
September 4, 2025Shoes are adorable and will go with everything. But my usual size 6 was way too big!! The box clearly states unisex sizing and the size listed is a men’s size 6, which is a 7 1/2 women’s. This needs to be clarified on the website as the shoes are listed as women’s shoes and the only sizing charts are for women’s. Hopefully J Crew can help exchange these for a pair that will fit.
