New Balance knocks 50% off 'lightweight' shoes declared 'most comfortable ever'

The Unisex WRPD Runner Shoes are available in a variety of colours and sizes

New Balance is running a huge end-of-season sale, with reductions of up to 50% available. One particular pair of trainers has been hailed as 'the most comfortable shoes ever' by a number of shoppers, and they've had their price slashed from £56 to £70, depending on the selected colour.

The Unisex WRPD Runner Shoes, originally retailing at £140, are now on offer in different shades including black, grey, dark moss, and seasalt/navy for £70, whilst other colourways have been reduced to £84, representing savings of 40% to 50%. These trainers come in a comprehensive size range from 3.5 to 16.5 and feature a 'fluid design' with 'sculpted contours'.

For those wanting a comfort-first option, the Skechers Men's Summits Sneakers could also be worth considering. They are currently marked down to £32.49 (RRP£59) in several sizes on Amazon.

Meanwhile, Schuh is running its own sale with price cuts of up to 60%. It includes popular footwear options from Adidas, New Balance and Converse.

The WRPD trainers from New Balance have amassed an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of five, reports MyLondon. One shopper said: "They are extremely comfortable, the best I ever had. As there are half size choices I could find the perfect fit for me."

New Balance has slashed the price of the stylish footwear that's available in sizes ranging from 3.5 to 16.5.

Another buyer noted: "I really liked these sneakers, I only wear this brand and this model is the most comfortable. They look stylish. All my friends liked them, I will recommend and buy more."

One glowing five-star review urged: "Purchase now. I love this so much that I bought it twice (two different colours). The most comfortable shoe ever and I own a large selection of gym shoes."

Another pleased customer stated: "After reading reviews I thought I have to try. Best shoes ever."

However, one reviewer of the New Balance shoes pointed out: "Comfy to walk in but in no way could they be considered running shoes," while another shared: "Look good but not that comfortable, to be fair I normally wear 1080's and they are the best for comfort."

Shoppers interested in more options can explore the rest of the New Balance sale. The WRPD Running Shoes are also available for £84 at ASOS.
