Fashion deal of the week
New Balance has just launched a massive sale ahead of the summer, with up to half-price off.
For those who don't want their feet to get sore during the day, the Women's 327 Shoes have earned a glowing reputation from thousands of shoppers, with praise suggesting they are "like walking on clouds."
Usually retailing at £100, these lace-up trainers are now available to purchase for just £60, saving 40 percent and £40 off the RRP.
Initially designed as running shoes that have been inspired by the 1970's, the New Balance 327 boasts an angular reworking of the classic wedge silhouette and an adjustable lace-closure design for a customized fit.
The wraparound, trail-inspired lug outsole makes these trainers a supportive choice for those on their feet all day, whether that be during physical exercise or when out on city breaks during the summer.
As of writing, the 40 percent discount covers three colours - slate grey, bone and raincloud - with sizes ranging from three to eight, including half-sizes, although some are being snapped up fast.
They currently boast a 4.6 rating based on over 3,000 reviews, as one thrilled customer wrote: "Not only do these look good, they're the comfiest trainers I've ever worn! Walked around London for 2 days & I felt like I was walking on clouds!"

Someone else added: "I bought this dress for an upcoming holiday. It's light and airy which I like, especially for putting in your suitcase. The dress is fitted at the bust then slightly flares under the bust line so hides your middle better. The colours are lovely as well. I ordered the size 14 which I always order from Roman. I'm very happy with my purchase."
While we did not spot any negative reviews, it is worth mentioning that, as a maxi dress, it might not be suitable for those who shop in 'petite' sections, which is something to consider when making a purchase.
Another five-star review read: "Pleased with this dress, took it on holiday. It is a nice choice for nights out, very comfortable. would recommend it, especially for any age."
