The New Balance WRPD Runner Shoes are now just £70, down from £140, with shoppers praising them as ‘the comfiest trainers I have ever owned’
Unlike flip flops and sandals, a quality pair of trainers can be worn throughout the year. A versatile choice for virtually any weather, trainers are not only stylish but incredibly practical when the rain sets in — particularly for those who spend a great deal of time on their feet.
Trainers that tick every box can often come with a hefty price tag, but not at New Balance. The popular sportswear brand has cut the price of a pair of trainers that shoppers are raving about, claiming they are so comfortable it’s ‘like walking on clouds’.
The WRPD Runner Shoes ordinarily retail at £140 but are currently available with a massive 50% discount. Slashed to half price, they can now be snapped up for just £70.
The WRPD Runner Shoes in Incense with Timberwolf and Sea Salt are available in sizes 3.5 to 12.5, all of which remain in stock online. Shoppers can also choose from three colourways, including: Black with Magnet and Sea Salt, Sea Salt with NB Navy and Dark Moss with Dark Stoneware and Sea Salt.
These stylish yet practical trainers are a brilliant option for both casual and athletic wear. The fluid silhouette strikes a balance between minimalist design and bold proportions, resulting in a trainer that feels both timeless and firmly on-trend, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The upper boasts an understated, breathable mesh fabric layered with premium suede in soft, earthy beige and neutral tones. A clean ‘N’ logo on the side delivers a sporty, futuristic finish that adds a thoroughly modern touch to the overall look.
The trainers feature a bold, sculpted midsole constructed with the brand’s trademark FuelCell foam. The cushioning system is designed to provide a highly responsive, propulsive sensation with each stride, ensuring every step remains comfortable even after a lengthy day on your feet.
The shoes come with a distinctively warped, wavy rubber outsole tread that curves slightly up the sides of the midsole. Thanks to their versatile design, the trainers would look just as stylish paired with leggings and tracksuit bottoms as they would with jeans, floaty linen trousers or even shorts during the warmer months.
Meanwhile, Amazon has slashed the price of the Skechers Graceful Get Connected Sneakers by 34%, now available for £34.98, reduced from £54. The trainers feature the brand’s trademark mesh construction, offering a breathable, flexible fit that contours to your feet while maintaining the shoe’s structural integrity and delivering outstanding comfort.
Alternatively, the Retro-Q Fabric/Suede Trainers have been flagged as ‘selling fast’ at FitFlop. Priced at £80, shoppers who enter the discount code ‘WELCOME’ at checkout can snap them up for £68, saving a tidy 15%.
Available in sizes three to nine, including half sizes, the trainers marry retro styling with cutting-edge comfort technology. Inspired by classic 80s sneakers, they boast a mixed fabric-and-suede construction that creates a rich, textural contrast on their vintage-inspired silhouette.

“Nabbed these for less than half price in the sale,” a third penned. “Very comfortable and supportive for running. Nice chunky style. Very happy.”
Not everyone was completely won over by the WRPD Runner Shoes, however, with one shopper awarding them just three stars. They wrote: “They aren’t my favourite trainer.
“Quite heavy in comparison to my existing runners. Bought them In the sale and won’t be looking for running trainers from New Balance in the future.
“Reasonable shoes,” a third penned. “Nice shoes, well made. Not as plush as suggested, I find the cushioning quite hard, comfort is mediocre. I will not be purchasing a second pair.”
Despite the mixed feedback, other customers remained thoroughly impressed with their purchase, with one writing: “Comfortable. Stylish. Great value. Lots of compliments on them whenever i wear them.”
A further five-star review stated: “They are extremely comfortable, the best I ever had. As there are half sizes available, I could find the perfect fit for mine.”
