Clarks has reduced its Solevana Knit trainers to £32, down from £55, in a limited-time sale. The shoes, described by the brand as the 'most comfortable' trainers it has ever produced, offer a budget-friendly alternative to similar styles like the Skechers Ultra Flex 3.0 Brilliant Path Trainers, which typically retail for £89 but are currently £48.50 on Amazon.
Comfort and Design Features
The Solevana Knit trainers are part of Clarks' Cloudsteppers collection and are designed to restore and recharge feet with every step. They feature breathable uppers, a signature toe-box fit for natural movement, and an ultra-light Solevana Foam outsole that absorbs impact. The trainers are available in sizes four to eight in D (standard) width, and come in black, sage, dusty pink, and light blue—all reduced to £32.
Shopper Reviews and Ratings
The trainers have earned an overall star-rating of 4.6 out of five based on 21 reviews. One shopper commented: "Very comfortable. Easy to slip on. A great shoe to wear between flip flops and sturdier winter shoes/boots." Another added: "The trainers are very comfortable. They are like walking in bedroom slippers only you have the support that you need. Love them."
A third reviewer wrote: "This is the most comfortable shoe I think I've ever had. I am a difficult fit. The cushion inside is just perfect. I'm going to order another pair. I did find these a little snug, so I'm going up a half size." However, some customers noted fit issues, with one four-star review stating: "Solevana runs narrow. I had to return the medium width for a wide." Another mentioned a lack of arch support, saying: "When you step into them they are like cushiony marshmallows underfoot, but I sure do wish the shoe was structured to offer more arch support."
Alternative Options
For those seeking other options, Marks and Spencer's Lace Up Mesh Runner Trainers retail at £65, offering leather construction with breathable mesh panels and sports-grade cushioning. Alternatively, FitFlop's RTG Suede Trainers cost £90, featuring Anatomicush midsoles and an anatomical arch contour for comfort.
