Overview

  • The Unisex WRPD Runner Shoes are discounted from £140 to £70–£84 as part of New Balance’s end-of-season sale.
  • Strong demand has depleted stock in popular UK sizes from 3.5 to 16.5 with many options now unavailable.
  • Customers have praised the WRPD’s cushioning and fit, leading to an aggregated 4.7 out of 5 star rating.
  • Some reviewers note that the WRPD excels for walking comfort but falls short as a performance running shoe.
  • The WRPD features FuelCell midsole technology and fluid design, and its popularity reflects a wider trend of comfort-focused trainer discounts from Skechers and Schuh.
