New Balance Trainers Cut to £70 Hailed as 'Like Walking on Clouds'

New Balance has slashed the price of its WRPD Runner Shoes by 50%, reducing them from £140 to £70. The trainers have garnered praise from shoppers, with one describing them as 'like walking on clouds'.

The WRPD Runner Shoes are available in sizes 3.5 to 12.5 and come in three colourways: Black with Magnet and Sea Salt, Sea Salt with NB Navy, and Dark Moss with Dark Stoneware and Sea Salt. The design features a breathable mesh upper with suede overlays and a sculpted FuelCell foam midsole for responsive cushioning.

Customer reviews on the New Balance website give the shoes an overall rating of 4.4 out of five stars based on over 50 reviews. One buyer wrote: 'The comfiest trainers I have ever owned, great colour and excellent quality.' Another said: 'Light yet supportive. Pure magic.'

However, not all feedback was positive. One three-star reviewer noted: 'Quite heavy in comparison to my existing runners... I won't be looking for running trainers from New Balance in the future.' Another commented that the cushioning was 'quite hard' and comfort 'mediocre'.

Despite mixed opinions, the trainers remain popular, with many customers praising their style and value. The versatile design suits both casual and athletic wear, pairing well with leggings, jeans, or shorts.
