Skechers' ‘comfortable and lightweight' trainers are great for all day wear and now £22 off
Skechers has slashed over £20 off their 'super comfortable and lightweight' trainers that shoppers rave are great for all day wear If you're in the market for a new pair of everyday trainers you can comfortably walk around in for hours, we've found just the ones, and they're also on sale. The Relaxed Fit: Edgeride—Power Flow Trainers from Skechers normally cost £70, but they have been reduced to £48.99 for a limited time. These trainers feature Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® for a cushioned sole to ensure comfort all day long. This clever memory foam can help provide pressure relief, immediate support, and breathability. The trainers also have a relaxed fit for a roomy and comfy fit at the toe and forefoot. Not only do they look stylish and feel great on the feet, but they're made with at least 20% recycled content by weight, and from 100% vegan materials. A win for the planet and a win for you. Shoppers can't get enough of these trainers, raving about their support, look and practicality. One shopper wrote: "They're super comfortable, lightweight, and great for walking or casual wear. One thing I really appreciate is that they are not the slip-in model — thank God! I had a pair of those before and they were extremely uncomfortable in the back of the heel. These ones fit just right and don't cause any rubbing or pressure. Stylish, practical, and definitely worth the money. " A second ravedd: "I bought these mainly for work. I'm on my feet for several hours at a time and needed something comfortable. Have met my expectations." While a third added: "I was looking for a pair of tennis shoes to drive in and do some walking in, that didn't hurt my feet, legs or hips. THESE ARE AMAZING!!!!! 6 weeks after having them, I will back these shoes up with every part of my being!!!! Highly highly recommend!" The only negative review came from a shopper who found the shoes too tight. They wrote: "It feels tighter around the middle of my feet even when I loosen the shoelaces. I can wear them, but will use them as a backup pair." If the Skechers aren't quite your fit, the Women's Holcombe Waterproof Low Walking Shoes are currently £27 at Regatta, boasting waterproof and durable qualities with comfort to boot. Alternatively, for those willing to spend a bit more, there's the Hoka Kaha 2 Low GORE-TEX Women's Walking Shoes at £99.99 from Sports Shoes, offering a range of UK sizes, an impressive weight-to-cushion ratio and robust grippy outsoles.

KitKat fans spot new flavour in Tesco and can't get over one detail
KitKat has released a new flavour of its KitKat Chunky bars that has been spotted in Tesco and fans can't get over a specific detail as many say they 'need to try it out' There's no denying that Brits enjoy chocolate with so many brands available, including Cadbury, Galaxy, KitKat, Maltesers and Thorntons. A chocolate bar is many foodies' go-to snack when craving something sweet and indulgent. With so many different choices on supermarket shelves and new products regularly being released, shoppers are spoilt for choice and this can make it harder to pick one. Often, foodies pick classic chocolate products that have been around for years but new treats spark the curiosity of some as well, such as the KitKat Chunky Salted Caramel Duo bar, which comes hot off the heels of the new rolo flavour. Popular social media account New Foods UK posted a photo of the new Nestlé chocolate bar on Facebook and shared that they spotted it at Tesco. The post has garnered hundreds of likes and several comments, with KitKat fans surprised by one detail. A Facebook user exclaimed: 'Size of that," while another exclaimed: 'Looks huge!' Others left comments, including 'wow', 'Omg' and even a row of the 'shocked face' emoji with no words. Fans who have already tasted the new chocolate bar reported: 'These are seriously good' and 'These are lovely.' Some users shared that they would like to try the KitKat treat with remarks such as 'Yes please' and 'Need to give this a try.' The description of the chocolate bar on the KitKat website reads: '68g KitKat® Chunky DUO salted caramel chocolate bar. 'Iconic crispy wafer topped with a layer of salted caramel filling, all wrapped in a tasty layer of smooth milk chocolate. A KitKat® with an extra layer of indulgence.' It adds that the sweet treat has no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. The new 'huge' KitKat Chunky Salted Caramel Duo bar has a retail price of £1.50 each and it joins the KitKat Salted Caramel sharing bar, which is also new and features a marbled chocolate design. Salted caramel has become a popular flavour in the culinary world with the introduction of food and beverages with this sweet and salty taste. Häagen-Daz launched its salted caramel ice cream in 2008 and soon after, Starbucks began selling its salted caramel hot chocolate leading to many more products with this flavour flooding the mainstream market, as per The Fizzy Tarte. KitKat is one of the chocolate brands owned by Nestlé, a major Swiss multinational food and drink company. The brand is instantly recognisable for its wafer layers covered in milk chocolate and its iconic slogan 'Have a break…have a KitKat.' There is a variety of KitKat products with milk, dark and white chocolate and a range of flavours, from peanut butter to hazelnut to orange. Fans can also enjoy the two and four finger milk chocolate bars, the KitKat Chunky range and the more recent sharing bars.

If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more After the driest Spring in almost 70 years, and a June that was dominated by heatwave after heatwave, it's safe to say that July has been a little anti-climactic in the weather department. But fear not — because the Met Office are predicting a much-needed return to dry conditions and higher temperatures in August. Hurrah! Alongside a trusty electric fan, a cooling blanket can make a real difference in helping you get a good night's sleep when the weather is hot and sticky. And while they're best known for their snuggly sherpa-lined blanket hoodies, this Oodie Cooling Blanket is one of the best ones on the market. Lightweight and seriously silky, this Oodie blanket is made from a breathable and moisture-wicking blend of nylon and elastane that'll work throughout the night to draw excess heat and moisture away from your skin. With an 'excellent' Qmax score of 0.32, it's instantly cooling — feeling 2-5°C cooler than your skin. Plus, it's also OEKO-TEK® certified — which means it's made from skin-friendly materials — and is totally fine to put in the washing machine on a gentle cycle. Simply choose from the seven different colours and patterns — from basic grey, to jazzy leopard print — and select whether you want a single or queen size blanket. Buy Now for £99 Loved by solo sleepers, people with partners who run particularly hot, and even pet parents, it's got heaps of 5* reviews — with shoppers seeming genuinely surprised by the impressive cooling technology. More Trending 'I brought this because I'm a very hot sleeper, and now I can never go back to normal blankets,' writes one happy customer. 'It's so soft and lightweight, and is cool enough that I no longer have to leave my legs outside of the blanket when I'm sleeping.'
