New Balance 204L Shoes have been reduced from £110 to £66 in the brand's sale, with shoppers praising their comfort even after walking 20,000 steps. The trainers have racked up more than two dozen five-star reviews, with one customer saying their feet did not hurt at all.
Sale and availability
The 204L Shoes typically cost £110 but have been reduced by 40% to £66 in New Balance's sale. The brand's outlet, available to shop fully here, sees almost 400 pairs of women's sneakers reduced in price. The shoes come in sizes three to nine, with half sizes included.
Design and features
Proving that fashion is cyclical, the trainers offer a striking blend of retro aesthetics with modern design, creating a trainer that's bang on-trend. New Balance's trainers are an updated version of silhouettes that arose in the 1970s and were popular again in the '90s. The trainers are designed with sleek proportions that feel both distinctly familiar and entirely fresh.
The trainers feature a chunky yet low-profile design with a lace-up fastening and a padded tongue and cuff. Signature New Balance branding can be seen on the sides while the textured grip tread makes walking easy even in inclement weather.
Shopper reviews
The 204L Shoes boast an overall star-rating of 4.4 out of five based on 34 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "Cool, effortless and comfy. They pretty much go with every look." A second wrote: "Got these six months ago and I love them. They're my go-to for working from home and errands. I have size 5 feet with a high arch and thought they might be a bit narrow, but they fit perfectly and are so comfortable. I wear with jeans and they go with everything. They make my quite wide feet look tiny. Love them."
"I got these for a recent trip to London knowing I would be walking around a lot," a third penned. "I was using them everyday walking 20,000 steps and it was so comfortable. My feet did not hurt at all. They have full support while the cushion was soft and went with all my outfits."
One shopper, however, described the 204L Shoes as 'nice-looking' but gave them a one-star review because they didn't fit. They wrote: "First time buyer of 204L Had to return as too short and too narrow." "Not a wide shoe at all," a three-star review mentions. "Looks very thin in person."
Nevertheless, someone else loved their latest New Balance purchase, adding: "I'm pretty happy with them. The comfort is definitely a highlight – they're great for running errands or casual outings. The style is simple and versatile." Another five-star review reads: "Love the look and feel. So lightweight and trendy. I did a lace swap and love them. I'm a size 9 in women and got the M7/W8.5 and they fit perfectly."
