New Balance has launched a spring sale, featuring a highly-rated pair of trainers at a significant discount. Originally priced at £150, the Unisex 1000 Shoes are now available for £105. The trainers are also offered at £109.99 through Schuh. At New Balance, customers can choose from 10 different colours.
Design and Features
The unisex New Balance trainers, originally released in 1999, have been redesigned with a modern aesthetic. They feature a mesh upper with suede overlay, mesh underlays for a refined, tech-inspired look, and a segmented sole with cushioning at the heel and forefoot for enhanced comfort.
Customer Reviews
The 1000 Shoes have earned a 4.6-star rating from 241 reviews. One customer shared: "I work standing on my feet and this shoe is a major improvement in comfort for my feet." Another wrote: "The shoes are comfortable. I am on my feet all my shift and my feet don’t hurt and neither does my back."
A third reviewer exclaimed: "I purchased a new pair of New Balance 1000s a couple of weeks ago, and they are honestly the best trainers I’ve ever owned. They are extremely comfortable, excellent quality, and the style is spot on."
However, not all feedback was positive. One disappointed buyer noted: "Very uncomfortable and stiff shoe. The tip is narrow and the side is plump. Very stiff and difficult to break in."
Another satisfied customer added: "I’ve been wearing these trainers for a little while now, and they’ve quickly become my favourite pair. They have been fantastic for the gym and also amazing for any casual or sporty outfit."
