admin Summer’s peak means three things: 1) more sun, 2) more fun, and 3) a Nordstrom Anniverary sale of epic proportions, often packed with the hottest discounted kicks on the market. Don’t believe us? Bracket your skepticism for a moment, because we’re talking up to 60% off on a heap of dazzling sneakers, trail-ready sandals, and ready-for-anything loafers, not to mention a ton of swanky dress shoes (summer weddings are in full gear, after all).
Of course, the notorious Nordstrom sale isn’t just made of eye-popping shoe deals. It’s also plenty of deals to be enjoyed across the menswear, home, and grooming arenas, but it would be a real miss to walk away from the retailer’s signature blowout without at least one new pair of kicks. We’re not sure how much we believe in signs from the fashion gods, but when heavyweights like Adidas, Clarks, and Nike (an actual goddess!) start calling our name, we heed them—and you would be wise to do the same. These are 27 of our favorite kicks from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, each a gift from the heavens in their own right.
The Anniversary Sale Hit List, Shoes Edition
Sneakers
Whether you’re hitting the city streets or hitting the treadmill, Nordys has ratcheted up the discounts on a mountain of shoes and you’d be kicking yourself for not taking advantage of the bonanza. From dad-approved New Balances to the Vans Old Skool (A.K.A. shoe of the forever-angsty youth), these are the shoes you’ll find yourself slipping into, day in, day out.
Sandals and Slides
Whether you’re slippin’ or slidin’ (hopefully more of the latter), make sure you do it in style. While the currently blazing temps call for more open-toed sandals to air everything out, a waterproof clog you can slide into is a great option to toss in your tote when you head to the pool or beach (if not a wise investment for when the rain showers start to rev back up).
Loafers and Slip-Ons
The sole pair of pseudo-dressy loafers that have carried you this far could use a break. (They also may be on the brink of breaking apart). Now’s the time to stock up on a pair of slip-ons that are up to snuff around the office but can handle their own on a the deck of your rich friend-of-a-friend’s boat.
Boots
The knockout roster of boots at Nordstrom is a deep well of stylish and sturdy footwear at even deeper discounts. From city slicker kicks to drip-dry rubber wellies, Hunter to Allen Edmonds, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale covers the entire boot spectrum. The only thing left to do now is to boot up your most stylish era yet.
Dressy Shoes
We all have different ideas of what dressy is but one thing is for sure, it’s not your leather sneakers (sorry). We will, however, allow for a suede derby (decked out with gummy sole) or a polished Chukka boot along with the classic cap toe Oxford. If you’re realizing you’d have to go barefoot to the next formal event in order to not commit a footwear faux pas, don’t panic, just step over to Nordstrom ASAP.
