New Balance's 'most comfortable shoes ever' are half price
New Balance has dropped prices of several items in a huge end-of-season sale, with discounts reaching up to 50%. Shoppers are raving about one particular pair of trainers that are hailed "the most comfortable shoes ever" by many, now reduced from £140 to £70.
The Unisex WRPD Runner Shoes, usually retailing at £140, can now be snapped up in shades like black, grey, dark moss, and seasalt/navy for £70. Other colours have seen a drop to £84, offering customers savings between 40% and 50%.
Desgined in a standard width and available in sizes ranging from UK 3.5 to 16.5, these runners feature a "fluid design" and "sculpted contours".
For those who put comfort first, the Skechers Summits Sneakers (£75) are unisex with an easy-wearing slip-on design. The hands-free design adds comfort and convenience to shoppers who want to get ready and go in minutes.
Meanwhile, Schuh is also hosting a sale with discounts going up to 60%, which bargain hunters can check out online.
The WRPD runners by New Balance have earned an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of five, with numerous reviews praising their comfort. As reported by MyLondon, one satisfied customer shared: "They are extremely comfortable, the best I ever had. As there are half size number I could find the perfect fit for mine."
Another happy buyer said: "I really liked these sneakers, I only wear this brand and this model is the most comfortable. They look stylish. All my friends liked them, I will recommend and buy more."
A glowing five-star review exclaims: "Purchase now. I love this so much that I bought it twice (two different colours). The most comfortable shoe ever and I own a large selection of gym shoes."
Another pleased buyer shared their experience: "I love them, they are very cool and comfortable. I wore them all day at Disney and my feet felt great."
However, a different perspective was offered by another customer who observed: "Comfy to walk in but in no way could they be considered running shoes."
Meanwhile, another shopper added their two pence: "Look good but not that comfortable, to be fair I normally wear 1080's and they are the best for comfort."
Unlike other trainers on the market, the WRPD Runner has a conceptual design with a combination of exaggerated proportions and minimalist restraint. New Balance described the footwear: "This new silhouette suggests a sense of fluid motion, with the sculpted contours of a full-length FuelCell midsole and an array of wavy accents surrounding an understated knit upper."
The FuelCell midsole is designed to "deliver propulsive feel to help drive you forward".
For those interested in browsing further, the full New Balance sale can be found online. Additionally, the WRPD Running Shoes are up for grabs at £84 on ASOS.

Inside charming seaside village where Londoners are flocking to work from home
Ogmore-by-Sea in South Wales has been named the best place in the UK to work from home, with a growing number of remote workers heading to the charming village Ogmore-by-Sea has become the UK's prime location for remote working, attracting ex-Londoners with its stunning sea views, top-notch broadband, and a lifestyle that perfectly blends work and leisure. The picturesque village on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast has been named the ultimate spot for home workers, thanks to a study evaluating housing affordability, internet connectivity, and proximity to nature. Residents of Ogmore-by-Sea aren't shocked by this recognition, as many have chosen to return here after years in the capital, drawn back by the rise of telecommuting. Local cafes are thriving from the influx of people working remotely, a trend that has only grown since the onset of the pandemic. Lee Davis, who once sought the excitement of cities such as London and Manchester, resettled in the nearby village of Wick five years ago. As someone in steel sales, Lee relishes the ability to work from his house, sharing: "I often work from home so I can have interludes like taking my friend's dog, Fudge, for a walk." He appreciates the serenity that contrasts with urban life, stating: "You can switch off completely - it chills me out. I can't stand the place; the Tube, the people, the stress. I wanted to come back somewhere tranquil." For Lee, Ogmore-by-Sea epitomises the idyllic balance between professional duties and personal relaxation, reports MyLondon. Ffion Hughes, an employee at The Welsh Coffee Company, her uncle's coffee shop, has noticed a trend: "We usually do get a lot of people working from here, mostly in the morning. As soon as Covid hit, so many people came here, it was crazy." Nico Gibbs from Hilary and Iain's Kitchen nearby, is thankful for the surge of remote workers frequenting their establishment. He said: "People are here for hours and hours which is nice. They get to look at the beach and most of them order breakfast, then they will have a coffee. We are happy to let them stay as long as they want." Yet, the growing popularity with telecommuters has occasionally overwhelmed their internet service. Nico admitted: "We do give out the WiFi password - but sometimes it gets too busy to give it out." John Sinden who swapped London for seaside village life in 2018 and now works remotely as a biotech executive, praised the local setup. He said: "People are friendly here and everything works, like the public transport. It is a lovely location, close to the sea and with coastal paths in walking distance." Deb Clarke is firmly rooted in Ogmore-by-Sea and after returning five years ago, she's adamant about staying put, saying: "It is so close to the coast and close enough to Swansea and Cardiff." Working from her home as a scenic artist, Deb juggles her career with looking after her one-year-old Cavapoo, Melyn, relishing the mix of seaside living and travel for work. John Davis shares the enthusiasm of those drawn back to their hometowns, having resettled in the area six years ago. He observed: "A lot of people came during Covid. People wanted to leave towns and cities." He also remarked on the influx of younger faces due to new housing projects, with census figures showing a population jump from 878 in 2011 to 1,354 in 2021. The village has been praised for its vibrant year-round community, quaint local pub, access to boutique shopping and "excellent" retail options, according to a recent study. The same report notes an average property price of £517,000 and boasts of ultrafast broadband, convenient train links to London, and the proximity to Cardiff.

'Reliable' Ninja frying pan set that's 'perfect for everyday cooking' now £30 less
"Best pan I have ever had! I have been using it for a year now and it is still perfect." When it comes to homeware, Ninja has become one of the biggest and best names in the business in recent years. From top of the range air fryers to reusable water bottles, shoppers know they deliver quality. But with the Ninja name, a hefty price tag can often follow. But, currently, a five-piece set of pots and pans is enjoying a tasty discount, meaning you could kit out your kitchen for less. The Ninja ZEROSTICK Classic 5-Piece Pan Set is on sale for £118.50 at Amazon, down from its RRP of £149.99. Over on Ninja's own website, the set remains at its full price. The popular set includes 16cm, 18cm, and 20cm saucepans with tempered glass lids, as well as two frying pans of 20cm and 24cm. They are dishwasher safety, scratch-proof, and resistant to metal utensils, reports MyLondon. They can withstand oven temperatures up to 180C and are suitable for induction rings, with Ninja saying their pans are "perfect for frying crispy bacon, sizzling steaks, golden pancakes, eggs and more". Elsewhere, Tesco are offering the Meyer 5 Piece Stainless Steel Induction Non-Stick Pan Set for £85. While ProCook have cut the price of the Gourmet 6-piece Non-Stick Cookware Set from £175 to £130. Back to the Ninja Zerostick set, it boasts a 4.6 rating from over 4,600 Amazon reviews. Its popularity is clear, with over 1,000 bought in the last month. One satisfied customer said: "This is a fantastic addition to my kitchen, and it's clear why it comes with a higher price tag. "The size is perfect for everyday cooking, and the solid construction gives it a premium feel. The non-stick surface works like a dream-food slides right off, and cleanup is a breeze. It's a good, solid, heavy feeling pan. "What really stands out to me is the handle. Unlike cheaper frying pans I've owned, this one feels incredibly sturdy. It's secured with two bolts (not just one), so I don't feel like there's going to be any rattling or loosening over time. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference in terms of durability and comfort." They did, however, admit that the price was more expensive than you can get elsewhere, but still praised the product, saying: "The price is definitely on the higher side. However, considering the quality, it's to be expected. Homewares deal of the week Looking to beat the heat as temperatures continue to rise? Then look no further than Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that has an almost perfect five star rating for its small, yet mighty, design that means it works "even on the lowest setting." Easy to connect via a USB cable that can be connected to laptops and computers, this desk fan is perfect for those who find themselves working from home on these sweaty, humid summer days. However, it doesn't need to remain plugged-in, as the rechargeable element and compact six-inch design means it can be taken anywhere, even placed on a bedside table overnight on summer nights thanks to its "quiet" operation. It's finished with four speed settings to choose from and an adjustable angle that can help direct the cool breeze where it is needed, unlike other models that can sometimes be stuck in one place. As for Dunelm's own mini desk fan, it has received an impressive 4.8 rating from impressed shoppers who say that, despite its size, it is "surprisingly powerful" and "a literal life-saver" during this kind of weather. One five-star review read: "Fantastic fan, surprisingly powerful, quiet, lasts for quite a long time when charged, very hard to find a decent small rechargeable fan but this is it, will be buying more!" Beat the heat with Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that costs just £25. "You're paying for a brand-name product that's built to last, and I don't anticipate needing to replace this pan anytime soon. It's also versatile with being induction compatible and oven-safe up to 180°C - I doubt a cheap one would hold up to that! "While it's an investment, I believe it's worth it for anyone looking for a reliable, long-lasting frying pan. If you're tired of replacing cheap pans every year, this one is a great choice. Highly recommend for those willing to pay a bit more for quality." Yet not all feedback was positive. A less satisfied customer remarked: "Scratched and peeling after less than a year of gentle use - got this pan last year in July and had to throw it today after big peeling areas/scratches formed in the middle of it. Not what I expected after the good reviews and with such short time of use." But another glowing testimony read: "I recently purchased the Ninja ZEROSTICK frying pan, and I'm very impressed! The non-stick surface works exactly as advertised – cooking eggs, pancakes, and fish has been a breeze with no sticking or mess. "It heats up quickly and evenly, and cleanup is a dream – just a quick rinse and it's good as new. The handle stays cool to the touch, making it comfortable to use, and the build quality feels solid. You can even use it in the oven up to 180C!". "Overall, this pan offers great performance and durability at a reasonable price. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality frying pan!" And another happy shopper commented: "Best pan I have ever had! I have been using it for a year now and it is still perfect." Get the Ninja ZEROSTICK Classic 5-Piece Pan Set for £118.50 HERE. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
