It’s no secret that footwear trends can be one of the most fleeting fads around. While Adidas Sambas ruled as this spring’s must-have trainers, Nike’s Cortez trainers were hot on their heels as one of the top styles for summer after Bella Hadid starred in a campaign for them. However, there’s one brand that has never wavered in terms of popularity is New Balance.
Known for having an incredible plethora of different styles, colours and designs, not to mention the top-tier comfort the trainers bring to your feet, New Balance’s trainers have become a wardrobe staple for everyone from high fashion fans to nurses who spend hours on their feet every day. It’s true that some styles come with a pretty hefty price tag – Margot Robbie’s New Balance 9060s retail for £160 – but thankfully there is a way you can snap them up for the bargain price of £35.
For those lucky enough to have feet on the smaller side, you might want to ditch the adult section of the website and instead head over to the children’s section, where New Balance’s Big Kids styles are found. Although they might be made with children in mind, many of the styles actually go up to a UK5 or 5.5, and are usually considerably cheaper than the regular adult sizes.
