Some of the Best Labor Day Shoe Sales Are Already Underway

ICYMI, there’s a major holiday weekend coming up, and we’ve already spotted some excellent deals—especially if you’re looking to refresh your footwear. Our favorite thing about this year’s Labor Day shoe sales is their range: Need new hiking boots for your upcoming fall adventures? You can get Hoka’s waterproof Kaha 2 boots for 50% off. Want to save on past-season sandals? Whether you prefer flip-flops or strappier pairs, you can snag some for up to 30% off.

There are also walking shoes, casual sneakers, trail running shoes, slippers, and dressier options majorly marked down at some of our favorite retailers. Below, we scoped out the shoe sales that are truly worth your while, so shop away (at least, until they’re out of stock).

The best Labor Day shoe deals we’ve found so far

Labor Day Weekend is still a few weeks away, so we’ll keep you in the loop as more shoes go on sale—but you shouldn’t wait to jump on these current deals. Gym goers swear by Reebok’s Nano cross trainers, while the Chaco Z/1 Classic is, in this writer’s opinion, the best sandal for long walks. New Balance and Hoka have models for road runners and hikers on sale, and Mephisto’s stylish sandal is dramatically discounted from its usually splurge-worthy price.

1. Reebok Nano X3—originally $150; now $91
2. Chaco Z/1 Classic Sandal—originally $100; now $69
3. New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4—originally $150; now $111
4. Hoka Kaha 2 GTX Hiking Boot—originally $240; now $120
5. Mephisto Heleonore Toe Post Sandal—originally $175; now $119

Amazon shoe deals

We’ve already mentioned the sheer variety of shoe deals out there right now, and Amazon’s Labor Day sale is a great example: Hunter rain boots, Crocs clogs, Clarks loafers, Chaco sandals, and Adidas sneaks are all marked down. Honestly, these deals rival Prime Day in terms of your options to save—and the savings themselves.

Nordstrom shoe deals

Nordstrom recently wrapped up its big anniversary sale, but you can still find some very nice end-of-summer savings if you’re willing to poke around its regular sale and clearance sections. Don’t have that kind of time? Check out our picks here. There are comfy, casual sneakers and sandals to shop, plus fluffy slippers—so you can stay stylish whether you’re at home or out on the town.

Zappos shoe deals

You can save big on tons of shoes (and even activewear like breezy tees and leggings) at Zappos right now, but the retailer’s most exciting deals are on sneakers. For a cloudlike feel, check out New Balance’s Fresh Foam X More V4 road running shoe or Skechers’ Max Cushioning Elite slip-on. Reebok’s best-selling Nano X3 is an all-around great trainer for people who like to do a little bit of everything around the gym. Also worth noting: Asics’ Gel-Excite is podiatrist-approved for people with plantar fasciitis, and Hoka’s Speedgoat holds a Sneaker Award for its capable feel on off-road runs. And, if there’s room in your cart for something other than sneakers, Sorel’s slipper slide is perfect for chilly mornings.

REI shoe deals

Anyone who considers themselves a hiker, runner, or walker should swing by REI: Select styles are 30% off and Outlet items are 50% off. Shop now to save on pairs from expert-approved brands like Hoka, Merrell, Salomon, and Saucony.

Macy’s shoe deals
