With Thanksgiving just around the corner, many shoppers eagerly anticipate the arrival of Black Friday 2023 sales. And this annual sale brings unbeatable discounts on all kinds of footwear, among other things. From ritzy sneakers to formal shoes, Black Friday has the best offers for every need. Although it’s a bit early to predict this year’s footwear deals for men and women, we can look at last year’s bargains for an idea.

Running shoes
Last Black Friday, there were jaw-dropping discounts on premium running shoes from brands like Nike, Adidas, and New Balance. For instance, one of the most popular deals last year on running shoes was for Nike’s Pegasus 39 Road Running Shoes, which were available on the company’s website for a discount of around 31%.

Knee-high boots
Since knee-high boots are perfect for colder weather, their deals enabled shoppers to stride with confidence and grace while embracing the sophisticated appeal of their designs. Among the most popular deals for these types of boots, one was for Franco Sarto’s Stevie Tall Boots for women, which were available at Zappos for a massive discount of around 70%.

Casual sneakers
When it comes to choosing footwear for laid-back, casual outfits, nothing beats the comfort of sneakers. Last year’s Black Friday sales cemented their status with incredible bargains. Top brands like New Balance and Puma offered iconic designs at irresistible prices. One of the most popular deals for men’s casual sneakers was the New Balance Men’s 425, which was available at a discount of almost 30% on Zappos. Another sneaker deal for women was for Clarks’ Caroline Holly, which was available at a discount of around 36%.

Comfort shoes
These shoes prioritize support and style for men and women. Several shoe brands presented unbeatable deals last year on comfort shoes, too. One of the deals that stood out was this pair of women’s shoes – Women’s Madison Sneaker from Dr. Scholl’s Shoes. These were available on Amazon’s shelves for a discount of around 29%.

Platforms
Platforms have always been a statement in the fashion world. And last Black Friday, these shoes stood tall with their deals too. Some of the top brands gave shoppers a lift with discounts on these footwear. Among the most popular deals, one was for Vans’ Classic Slip-On Platform Sneakers, available at Shopbop for a discount of around 24%.

Sandals
Sandals are popular among those who like wearing them for sunny days or leisure time. They were also popular during the previous year’s sales. For instance, the Fluff Yeah Faux Fur Slingback Sandals for women from UGG were available at Nordstrom for a discount of about $50. 

Hiking & outdoor shoes
Brands like Merrell, Adidas, and Eddie Bauer catered to hike enthusiasts, providing durable hiking & outdoor shoes at remarkably low prices. One of the most popular deals for hiking & outdoor shoes was for Eddie Bauer’s Guide Pro Hiker shoes. The pair was at a flat $50 discount on the website.

Dress shoes and work shoes
Several brands offered discounts on formal, sleek designs that would let people confidently enter the workplace. The Clarks’ Kaylin Clara 2 shoes for women were available for $66, $44 lower than the original price of $110. For those who wanted a glamorous pair of boots, Steve Madden’s Golde Boots were available at Zappos for a huge discount of around 63%.

Golf shoes
Those who wished to enjoy their tee time with comfort also got lucky. Last Black Friday had some amazing discounts on golf shoes from top brands like FootJoy and Adidas. One of the best deals available in this category included the Adidas Solarmotion Spikeless Golf Shoes. The pair was available at Zappos for a discount of around 26%.

Kids’ shoes
Previous shopping sales also had a range of discounts on kids’ shoes. Several renowned brands offered discounts on durable and stylish footwear designed to keep up with active youngsters. A popular deal on kids’ shoes was available at Nordstrom. The Adidas Big Kid X_PLR Knit Sneakers were available for a discount of a little under $15.

Based on the incredible deals offered last year, it can be safe to assume that this year’s Black Friday sale will feature exceptional discounts on both men’s and women’s shoes.
