New Balance fans get £60 off 'most comfy' trainers that 'always get compliments'
New Balance has just dropped the price of a stylish and comfy pair of trainers by a whopping 40%. Known for their fashionable footwear, the brand's 1906R model is now available for £90, down from its original price of £150.
These 'nurse-approved' kicks boast an impressive 4.9 out of 5-star rating on the website, complete with midsole cushioning, heel cushioning, and arch support to ensure your feet are pampered all day long. These versatile trainers can be rocked with jeans or even skirts and dresses to nail that perfect look.
The New Balance website details: "The 1906R, like its cousins the 2002R and the 860v2, is led by a sole unit featuring a combination of flexible Acteva Lite cushioning, shock absorbing N-ergy, and segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel. This hi-tech approach is also reflected in the 1906R's upper design, which features open-holed mesh and a series of curvilinear synthetic overlays. This distinctive take on the era's design conventions offers a refined execution of high-performance heritage."
For those seeking a similar level of comfort for less, Marks and Spencer's has cut the price of their D'Lux Comfort Surreal Slip On Trainers from £69 to £41.40. Customers are calling them as a 'must' for avid walkers, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Schuh are also running a sale - the Veja Esplar trainers are now £69.99 down from £120. Shoppers say there is 'no need to break in' and they are 'more comfortable than expected for a fashion trainer'.
Over on the New Balance website, one customer said: "Nurses, get these! Incredibly comfortable for nursing, recommended for jobs where you are on your feet a lot." Another review praised: "The most comfortable shoe for walking in...really snug but still feel you have space...love them."
A third satisfied customer shared: "Best trainer I have ever bought the fit is great at 1/2 size up from normal. Similar to adidas sizing. The quality is second to none. Got these in the sale but are worth RRP."
Yet another happy buyer remarked: "I bought these shoes, and I can't explain how comfortable, high-quality and nicely designed they are." And someone else wrote: "These are so stylish and go with any outfit. Always get many compliments when I wear them. I would highly recommend them."
However, not everyone was pleased with the aesthetics, as one reviewer critiqued the colourway of grey, yellow, and white (described as moonrock with moonbeam concrete), saying: "The shoes are great but this colour doesn't look good."

Marks & Spencer restores click and collect orders after hack
Marks & Spencer has restarted its click-and-collect service after almost four months following a damaging cyber attack on the business. The retailer's click-and-collect system stopped working in stores over the Easter Weekend in April after the company was targeted by hackers. Contactless payments were also taken down before being reinstated, while online orders through its website and mobile app were halted for around six weeks. The retailer has gradually reinstated key parts of its online systems following work by IT experts. Click and collect, which allows customers to buy products online and pick up at shops the next day, is the last major service to have been reinstated. Last month, the group restored its Sparks membership scheme fully for shoppers. In April, the company took down part of its IT systems and stopped sales through its website after being targeted by hackers. Customer personal data, which could have included names, email addresses, postal addresses and dates of birth, was taken during the attack. M&S revealed that the hack was caused by 'human error' and would cost it around £300 million. Last month, boss Stuart Machin had said M&S expected operations to be running fully again by August. Fellow retail chains, the Co-op and Harrods, were also impacted by cyber attacks in recent months. Four young people were arrested for their suspected involvement in the attacks and have been subsequently bailed.
