My Mom With Plantar Fasciitis Recommended These New Balance Sneakers—and Now I Won't Travel Without Them
As a travel writer and new mom of twins, I'm almost always on the move—whether for work or with my family in tow. That means I'm constantly searching for comfortable, versatile shoes that feel as cushioned as my favorite sneakers but can still pass for something more polished when needed. These days, comfort tends to win out over style. So when I find something that actually strikes the perfect balance, I don't take it for granted—and my New Balance 327 Sneakers do just that. Additionally, I have an admittedly low pain tolerance when it comes to footwear (one blister and I'm out), so I've become ruthless about what earns a spot in my suitcase. These shoes make the cut every time: they're supportive enough for long travel days, stylish enough for casual meetings or dinners, and lightweight enough to pack without a second thought. More often than not, though, I opt to wear them while in transit, for precisely the reasons listed above. I first discovered these New Balance sneakers through my mother, who, with plantar fasciitis and small fiber neuropathy, requires ultra-supportive footwear that doesn't compromise comfort. So, when they won her seal of approval, I immediately ordered a pair for myself. They say not to judge a book—or, in this case, a pair of shoes—by its cover, but I was instantly impressed by the sneakers' sleek silhouette and retro-inspired, trend-forward design. They somehow feel sporty, elevated, and effortlessly cool all at once. The high-quality construction, which includes a suede and mesh upper, leather lining, and leather insole, only sealed the deal. No detail was too small for New Balance: even the lace-up closure is designed for easy adjustability, especially helpful at TSA when juggling bins, shoes, and (in my case) a clunky double stroller loaded with twin babies. Performance-wise, these New Balance sneakers hold up beautifully. The lugged rubber outsole offers solid grip on everything from slick sidewalks to airport terminals, while the lightweight cushioning and solid arch support keep my feet feeling fresh, even after long periods of standing or walking. Best of all, they're incredibly comfortable right out of the box. No breaking-in period, no painful hot spots—just instant ease. I also found the sneaker to run true to size; that said, if you have wide feet, it may be worth going up a half-size since the toe box may be a bit narrow. And thanks to the easy slip-on/slip-off fit, I don't even need to fully bend down to get them on. (However, the laces tend to come undone quickly, so I recommend a simple fix: double-knot before heading out the door.) On most days, I pair my sneakers with leggings—or, if I'm feeling extra fancy, jeans—usually styled with a casual tee or tank, layered under a scuba or denim jacket. But of course, they look great with more polished pieces, too. For example, when I was in Florida this spring and the weather was warm, I slipped them on with flowy maxi dresses instead, and they worked just as well. I personally own the New Balance 327s in two hues, but they're also available in over 10 other color combinations, so there's something to match just about every wardrobe. I'm especially fond of my black pair, which features the brand's signature oversized "N" logo in white leather—it adds a subtle elevated touch to an otherwise sporty silhouette. Of course, don't just take my word for it: These sneakers have racked up hundreds of perfect ratings across Amazon, earning praise for their comfort, style, and everyday wearability. "This shoe is both stylish and [comfortable]...wore it while on a weekend in NYC with over 30,000 steps and my feet were great," raved one happy shopper.

'Comfiest ever' New Balance trainers like 'walking on air' slashed by 40%
Invest in comfy footwear for less thanks to footwear firm's massive sale. There's no denying the benefits of investing in a pair of New Balance trainers. Not just loved by regular shoppers, as many of our favourite celebrities have been known to rock them. Even better, the footwear brand has launched a massive sale across some of its bestselling trainers, clothing and accessories, with some prices slashed by up to half-price online. 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. New Balance isn't the only footwear brand offering a sale at the moment, as Adidas has also knocked prices of select trainers, with the popular SL72 RS Shoes now £59.50 after being cut from £85, saving 30 percent overall. Meanwhile, since not everyone opts for a major brand, we have also spotted a similar pair from the high street with New Look's White Brushed Faux Suede Panelled Trainers offering a similar design to New Balance, but for just £19.79. As for New Balance's own 327 Shoes, there's no denying the discount might be worth taking advantage of, as they have earned an impressive 4.6 rating based on over 3,000 customer reviews that say they are "the comfiest ever" and "like walking on clouds." 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!" A second positive review read: "Walking on Air! They are the most comfortable shoe I've ever had. I've tossed out all my On Cloud's, Nike's & Hoka's. I plan on buying another air for the summer." Fashion deal of the week Looking to make a statement this summer? Then this is the wardrobe update you need. Roman's Fuchsia Floral Ruched Waist Maxi Dress is said to be such a show-stopper, that customers say they get "stopped" and asked "where they bought it from." While it does retail at £48, fashion fans can add this pop of colour to their summer style for less, as the clothing retailer is offering it for 10 per cent less when using the code HAPPY at the checkout, reducing the total cost to £43.20. Falling to a floaty maxi-length hemline, it offers a "flattering" effect on the figure thanks to its fit-and-flare design, thick ruched waistline and tie-belt feature, all which will help streamline and cinch the body. Its short sleeves, lightweight material and its multi-coloured all-over floral print design make it the ultimate breezy and "eye-catching" choice for the current hot, humid days we are experiencing. Finished with a chic V-neckline and a wooden button detailing down the front, this colourful maxi dress is ideal for pairing with some chunky wedge sandals and maybe even a denim jacket for the unpredictable summer weather. The £48 frock is still available to buy in sizes 10 through to 20. There's also a pink floral version that is a touch less vibrant than the fuchsia colourway in the same sizes, with the exception of a 12. Averaging a near perfect 4.9 rating, one shopper praised: "I have this dress and wore it for the first time today. Went out to lunch and a number of people stopped me to say how nice my dress was. I can't remember the last time that happened." A second admiring shopper wrote: "Absolutely stunning so feminine, floaty got quite a few compliments. It will be going to Greece with me this year." Save 10 per cent on Roman's Fuchsia Floral Ruched Waist Maxi Dress by using the code HAPPY at the checkout now. Another impressed shopper added: "These are the comfiest shoes! Bought them to walk around nyc for a trip. Didn't have to break them in- I didn't get any blisters and walked miles! Love them. They are super stylish too. Can dress up or down." The chunkier design might not be supportive for all shoppers, as one three-star review read: "Too bulky for me. I need lower profile shoes. These shoes were too high, and too bulky for me." Nevertheless, another impressed shopper said: "I bought them for a trip where I'd be doing a lot of walking. It felt like I didn't need to break them in, and they were comfortable from the start. Typically, after a lot of walking, I experience pain in my arches, but I didn't with these shoes. Love these shoes and highly recommend!"

27 Comfy Shoes From Zappos To Wear On A Trip
Some chunky-heeled Naturalizer sandals that don't ask you to compromise on style, support, or budget, which means you can put the money you save towards a splurge-y dinner when you're actually on vacation. Promising review: "Super cute and extremely comfortable." —AnonymousPrice: $79.99+ (originally $99.99+; available in sizes 5.5–11 and five colors) A pair of New Balance 327 sneakers so you can ~kick it~ around the streets of your destination in sporty-chic style (and comfort, of course). Promising review: "Best sneakers I've bought in a long time! So cute and comfy and versatile" —AnonymousPrice: $99.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and 11 colors) A pair of iconic Birkenstock Arizonas because these two-strap sandals are supremely supportive *and* durable. The contoured cork footbed molds to the foot for made-for-you comfort, and they'll last for vacations to come! Seriously, mine survived SEVEN years of heavy walking. I bought my first pair in summer 2017, and I only *just* replaced them at the end of last fall — and for what it's worth, I walked A LOT in them. Miles upon miles around town, when visiting family, and overseas!Promising review: "While all Birkenstocks are comfortable, these just might be my most comfortable pair yet. Overall? 5 stars. Comfort? 5 stars. Style? C'mon, they're Birks! :-)" —AnonymousPrice: $115 (available in women's sizes 4–12.5, in narrow and regular, and two colors) Or, some Birkenstock Mayaris if you want the same unrivaled corkbed support but a somewhat more ~dainty~ aesthetic. These are my absolute go-to for trips to Europe, as they're a bit dressier than the Arizonas while still keeping my feet happy as I walk 15,000+ steps a day. I *also* have this style in black. They're my favorite for pairing with dresses and skirts because of the strappy look. For whatever reason, I also find that this style is quicker to break in (but that could just be for my feet!).Promising review: "These are the best sandals made. I will never wear any other sandals. I've worn this style in August in Disneyworld, St. Augustine, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Las Vegas, and I can walk forever. Every color is attractive. Nothing ever rubs; there is no break-in required. I can't stand a thong between my first and second toe, but with these, you can't even feel it. I hope they never get rid of this style." —AnonymousPrice: $110 (available in sizes 5–12.5, wide sizes, and five colors) **OR** a shimmery Birkenstock thong sandal to add a bit of ✨ glam✨ as you salsa with the locals. These also come in solid colors, which will look equally good as you twirl about. OK, full disclosure, I don't own this style, BUT I am buying them soon. My mom usually packs these for her tripsPromising review: "I've had different pairs of Birkenstocks for many years, but hadn't worn any for quite some time. Last summer, I noticed several people wearing these, and I thought they were stylish, so I decided I would get them. They are both stylish and comfortable right out of the box. I love them. They look nice with skirts." —AnonymousPrice: $110 (available in sizes 5–11.5 and seven colors) A pair of Sorel waterproof sneakers so you're always prepared for surprise rain showers and sight-seeing through puddles. Truly, the last thing you want is to have to make a midday stop back at the hotel to swap socks. Promising review: "WOW. I created a Zappos account just to be able to write this review. These shoes are THE BEST. I ordered them a few days before my vacation after I found out it was supposed to rain the entire time. (Shout out to Zappos for getting them to me in time!) They were so comfortable and kept my feet dry. One night, we got caught in a torrential downpour and ran through several puddles. My pants were completely soaked through, but these shoes kept my feet completely dry!!!! I wore them almost every day for two weeks and walked over 15k steps a day without blisters or pain. I'm in awe. If you're looking for a great waterproof shoe, these are it." —AnonymousPrice: $94.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and in five colors — not all sizes available in all colors) A comfy and supportive Toms platform sandal to bring your fashion to ~new heights~. Just think how cute these will look with those new dresses you bought specifically for your trip! Promising review: "These have great support, are not wobbly, and are quite nice looking. Very comfortable." —AnonymousPrice: $70.84+ (originally $100; available in sizes 5–10 and four colors) A pair of classic ballet flats because they take up practically no room in your suitcase and probably go with everything in it, too! You really can't go wrong with this simple-but-sophisticated travel staple. Promising review: "You know someone loves a shoe when they buy a second pair of them... and I just ordered my second pair. I got a pair this spring, just before I had some minor foot surgery. It turned out to be one of two pairs of shoes I could wear without pain because it doesn't have any pressure points. I literally wore these for three weeks straight. I love this shoe because I can wear it with jeans or skirts, and it's easy to wear on a plane. They pack great!" —AnnPrice: $90.71+ (available in sizes 4–14, narrow, medium, and wide fits, and 14 colors) Keen's Rose Sandals, aka my absolute favorite summer sandals. They're supportive and sturdy enough for walking or hiking miles (and even have a reinforced toe protector!) while still being lightweight, waterproof, and pretty enough to wear with dresses! Promising reviews: "These are my 'dressy' Keens — I can wear them with dresses and skirts. Keen shoes are the best in comfort and style!" —MrsD."I love this shoe for the comfort and support. This is my fourth pair, and I am ordering another pair today in another color." —TeresaPrice: $120 (available in sizes 5–101 and six colors) A pair of Vionic loafers (with arch support!) in case your trip involves a professional work conference before the true vacation begins. These hit that sweet spot between formal and casual style, so you'll have no problem *immediately* hitting up museums, cafes, and bars after that pesky corporate negotiating is done. Promising review: "Very soft leather, wore them all over Spain while on vacation. Good with a light sock; very comfortable. No trouble with my plantar fasciitis." —DianePrice: $130 (available in sizes 5–13, medium and wide fits, and 24 colors) A pair of strappy Chaco sandals designed with a soft, water-resistant leather upper and gentle arch support, because you simply won't enjoy your trip if your feet hurt the whole time. These sandals have a cult-following for their comfort, so you know you're in good hands... errr, feet? You get my point! Promising review: "I really like these! Great arch support. This particular style isn't as 'summer camp' looking as most Chacos, which is why I got them. Great for walking around the city. Love the navy blue. The system to tighten the strap across the foot is clever and makes them particularly easy to get in and out of. I can tell I'm going to wear the heck out of these." —RebeccaPrice: $73.27+ (originally $79.95; available in sizes 5–12 and three colors) A checkerboard Vans slip-on shoe for an effortlessly cool streetwear style you can rock all day long. Plus, no laces = no hassle at airports! Promising review: "LOVE! These are my eighth pair of Vans and they're so stylish. I especially love the slip-on style because they are so convenient." —KaylaPrice: $60+ (available in sizes 5–17.5 and 20 colors) A pair of breathable leather huaraches destined for strolling the unpaved streets of a quaint village that's off the beaten path, which is precisely your favorite kind of destination (and mine too). Promising review: "Finally, a really comfortable huarache-style shoe! The heels don't slip, moderate arch support and cushioning, and the fit is good overall. The sole provides some cushioning and doesn't slip on pavement like the traditional leather soles tend to do." —SusiePrice: $104.95 (available in sizes 6–11, medium and wide, and two colors) Some rugged Blundstone Chelsea boots since you can rely on these bad boys for just about any kind of adventure, no matter the weather! From wet, muddy hikes to museum visits to local eateries, these promise to keep ya comfy and stylish. You're looking at a BIG Blundstones fan here! I cannot recommend these boots enough, not just for trips, but also just for everyday life. I've had mine for almost 10 years now, and they're still going strong. Sure, they could use a polish on the outside, but in terms of support, I haven't noticed them become any less comfy or supportive since I first bought them. I wear them pretty much all year round, too!Promising review: "These boots are worth every penny! After a short period of breaking in, they feel great for hours of walking on trails or even in town. They keep your feet warm and dry." —AnonymousPrice: $199.95 (available in sizes 6–11 and lots of other styles and colors) A pair of Adidas Adilette Aqua slides for anyone heading to an all-inclusive resort. Don't even bother with those flimsy flip-flops because these are oh-so-cushiony with a timeless sporty style. Promising review: "Ordered this sandal specifically for my 75-year-old father who has really bad neuropathy in his right foot and cannot wear anything but really (I mean really) soft-soled tennis shoes in order to stop the pain. I looked at many sandals and thought I would try this because they did not have ridges like most of them do (ridges cause pain) and are very smooth on the surface where your foot goes. Well, he loves them, says that other than his tennis shoes, these are the only things that don't cause pain. Good job, Adidas! I will order again if you keep making shoes like this! —anonymousPrice: $21.99+ (originally $28; available in sizes 6–13 and in three colors) Or, these mesmerizing metallic-strapped Oofos flip-flops to add some ~mermaid energy~ to your poolside hangs. Plus, the OOfoam footbed cushioning technology helps absorb impact, cradles your arches, and encourages natural foot movement. So yeah, these are more than just a pretty shoe — they're smart too! Promising review: "This is my third pair. Love these sandals. I use one pair inside the house instead of wearing slippers. Two other pairs wear on the street. Love the black trim, which doesn't show scuff marks. Great arch support. Very comfortable!!!!" —DebbiePrice: $54.97 (originally $75.95; available in sizes 5–11 and two colors) Slip-on sneakers because you have an absolutely jam-packed itinerary and that means there's not a moment to spare for tying laces! Promising review: "They are true to size. I bought this particular pair because it is multi-colored and goes with virtually everything casual." — $39.41+ (originally $64.99; available in sizes 6–11 and four colors) A pair of block-heel suede sandals in a pretty pink so you can cosplay as Barbie on vacation and dance the night away without having to worry about silly things like sore feet or blisters. Promising review: "So comfortable and looks great on my feet." —AnonymousPrice: $89.99+ (originally $115, available in sizes 5–11 and 15 other colors) A Sperry loafer that'll perfectly match your seaside destination with its stylish maritime aesthetic. Promising review: "Love these. High level of comfort. Will buy again." —AnonymousPrice: $74.98 (originally $89.95; available in sizes 5–12) A pair of Dr. Martens gladiator sandals to bring some edgy pop-punk vibes to your sunny getaway... because unfortunately, it will be way too hot to wear your beloved Dr. Martens combat boots. Promising review: "I have a wider forefoot and high arches, so my normal size 8 fit perfectly. Out of the box, they are nearly as comfortable as the Birkenstocks I've worn almost daily for years. The strap near the toes is a bit more snug than I'd like, but I know it will stretch with time. The leather is soft, and the straps are secure enough that they won't rub or cause issues. (I have sensory issues and am SUPER picky about that!) As an added bonus, they make me feel real tall." —AnonymousPrice: $139.95 (available in sizes 5–11) A cutout Toms sandal that's so chic, I wouldn't be surprised if folks think you're a local — and since these have a thick block heel, you'll definitely be walking with the confidence of someone who knows exactly where they're going (even if you have no idea). Promising review: "Absolutely love these. My first Toms purchase. Super soft and comfortable. Will be my staple shoes vs. flat styles. I'm short, and these are perfect go-tos. The heel is not too high, and the style is easy. I got the light fabric. Darling! These are true to size." —Anonymous Price: $66.75 (originally $89; available in sizes 5–11 and two colors) A pair of flatform Tevas if you love fun colors, bold patterns, and ~elevated~ comfort. These popular vegan and earth-friendly sandals go three for three — and they'll *also* help you see over big crowds! Promising review: "I love everything about these sandals because they're so comfortable and you can dress them up or down. 10/10 would recommend." —SofPrice: $56.25+ (originally $75; available in sizes 6–11 and 10 colors/styles — not all sizes available in all colors) A darling espadrille wedge so your travel companion can snap the most artsy pic of you strutting down a cobblestone street, skirt or dress flowing in the wind. Unlike other heels, these provide a solid, level surface for walking uneven surfaces. Promising review: "Super cute and comfortable. Not too tall for everyday wear. True fit." —AnonymousPrice: $78.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and four colors) Hoka sneakers, which have a well-earned reputation for being *the* most supportive shoes out there. Many nurses, service workers, and other folks who spend all their non-vacation time on their feet absolutely swear by these, so it's safe to assume they can handle your 10-day jaunt around the globe. Promising review: "The fit is excellent! I've had a hard time finding shoes in my size in wide. These have plenty of room and don't make my feet feel cramped. There is enough cushioning to feel supportive but not overwhelming. My feet feel great in these!" —AnonymousPrice: $140 (available in sizes 5–11, two widths, and 14 colors — not all sizes available in all colors) A pair of geometric cutout slip-ons if you're looking for something more unique than your typical pair of supportive walking sandals. These will transform even just jeans and a V-neck into a super stylish ensemble, which means you can stick to packing mostly basics and then just mix-n-match. BTW, these shoes have received the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance, meaning they promote good foot review: "I love this shoe and have it in two colors. It is extremely comfortable and makes my foot look a little narrower. Yay!" —AnonymousPrice: $189.95 (available in sizes 4–12 and six colors) A Keds white lace-up sneaker because your current pair of "white" sneakers are milky-grey at best and that simply won't do for your big debut in a new country. Promising review: "After trying at least 20 white sneakers, this one is a hit. The leather is soooo comfortable as compared to canvas. The style is just what I was looking for: not too athletic and not too casual. Buy them. You won't be disappointed" —CarolPrice: $64.95 (available in sizes 5–11) A pair of square-toe slingback pumps that'll have you looking way too ~sharp~ to be an American tourist, or, at least that's what the restaurant staff will think. Hope you practiced a few words of the native language to really convince 'em! Promising reviews: "Fit was true to size and very comfortable. Very attractive shoe, especially for a larger foot." —Lisa"Material is soft, super comfortable shoe, stylish, and perfect width." —AnonymousPrice: $119.95+ (originally $135; available in sizes 5–12 and 10 colors/styles)

Dunnes Stores designers said it is "drenched in head-to-toe shimmer, this statement waistcoat delivers instant glamour". THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit. Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
