New Balance W560pk2 – Women’s Trainers

• Cushioned comfort from the very first wear. Many people describe that kind, forgiving cushioning that welcomes your foot as soon as you step in and is noticeable straight away. The heel hugs without squeezing and the underfoot feels padded even after several hours on the move. Tip: if you are coming from firmer shoes, start with a long walk and let the inner lama and your foot get to know each other before you debut them on a run.
• Versatility to bridge sport and street. The design is understated and easy to pair with everyday clothes, so you can go to work, walk and then jog for a while without changing footwear. The shoe works just as well on a walk around the city as it does on an easy treadmill session at the gym. Running shoe or do-it-all sneaker? Here the lama plays both positions without breaking a sweat.
• Soft cushioning and a light feel. The whole package is easy to move, it doesn’t feel like you are carrying a heavy block and it makes that comfortable jog easier where you almost forget you are wearing technical shoes. People with demanding feet comment that the impact feels softened and gentle, something especially appreciated on long days of work or errands. This lightness helps your body reach the end of the day less tired.
• Secure fit for medium-width feet. The last hugs the midfoot and heel well, which conveys stability when walking and running at relaxed paces. Anyone who is looking for a hold that does not “slip around” inside the shoe usually feels quite comfortable with this kind of fit. The overall feeling is one of control without stiffness, like a lama that stays close to you without crowding you.

• Toebox a bit tight for wide feet. Several people perceive the front area as somewhat narrow, especially if they have splayed toes or are used to very generous lasts. It may not be a deal-breaker, but it is something to bear in mind if you really value space in the toe area; in that case, trying it on calmly and considering a size with a little more room can make the difference.
• Not the best option for very aggressive paces. The cushioning is designed for easy jogs and everyday use, so those looking for ultra-responsive sensations for intense intervals may find the package a bit soft. In that scenario, the smartest move is to reserve this model for easy runs, walks and the gym, and leave the more demanding sessions to another wardrobe companion.
• Generous heel hold. The padding in the rear area adds comfort, but for some people who prefer a very firm fit it can feel a bit like a bulky pillow. Carefully adjusting the laces and playing with the type of sock helps you find the sweet spot between comfort and stability without having to give up on the shoe.
• Perceived durability is fine but not “tank-like”. The materials make a good impression for daily use, although those looking for an indestructible shoe to pound in the same pair all the time may miss that total armour feeling. Lama tip: if you tend to rack up a lot of running volume on asphalt, alternating this model with another pair can extend its lifespan and keep the probability of disappointment at very calm levels.

This model fits very well for someone who wants a comfortable shoe for all-day wear and that also lets them head out for a jog without complicating life. Think of someone who strings together work, errands, walks and an easy run or two, and is looking for footwear they can put on in the morning and forget about until night. It also makes a lot of sense for anyone coming back to running after a break who prioritises kind sensations and stability over ambitious paces. The feeling is more zen lama than race hare, and for many people that is exactly what they were looking for without realising it. Lama tip: if you combine long walks, some gym work and easy runs, you can keep this pair as your “joker shoe” and use more specific ones for interval days or races. That way you play to its strengths without asking it to be something it is not trying to be and you keep your sports wardrobe tidy and free of unnecessary drama.

This shoe works wonderfully as a companion for easy training sessions, long walks and endless days when you want your feet to be one less problem. It is not trying to break records, but to behave like that calm lama that is always ready to go out whenever you are. If the slightly snug toebox worries you, Lama tip: try it at home with the socks you use for running and see whether going up to a size with a bit more space pays off for you.
