Clarks has reduced its award-winning Pace trainers in four colours, with the mauve and pale green options now priced at £50 after a discount of over 40%. The sporty sneakers, originally retailing at £89, offer a saving of £39 for a limited time.
Design and features
The Pace trainers are Clarks' first performance shoe, designed specifically for walking. They feature Infinity Energy Capsules embedded in the sole, which compress and rebound with each step to propel the wearer forward. The dual-layer sole includes Clarks' most advanced two-part C360 foam, delivering cushioning that reduces impact and stabilises every stride. An S-curve moulded heel counter provides a secure fit and reduces pressure on the Achilles during heel strike, meaning no break-in period is needed.
The trainers come in sizes four to eight, including half sizes, in D (standard width). Shoppers can also purchase them in black and sand, although these options are not on sale and retail for £89.
Shopper reviews
The Pace trainers have an overall star-rating of 4.7 out of five based on 70 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "I love these shoes. They are so comfortable and make walking a breeze. I highly recommend them."
A second wrote: "So soft, comfortable, and love the colors. Have only had them about a week, but loving them so far." Another added: "Great shoes. I have been buying Clarks for years but not casual shoes. Love all of the Cloudwalkers I have purchased."
However, some shoppers raised concerns about sizing. One three-star review said: "I like the shoe but it runs more than half a size small. I normally wear a 5.5 but the six was too small. Had to go up a whole size to a 6.5." Another mentioned: "I bought the Pace slip-on style ones in purple a while ago. They were so comfortable for work being on my feet all day. I bought these ones thinking they'd be similar but unfortunately they do not feel as supportive."
