Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Shoe Guide

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is officially underway, and I’m currently in Chicago with Bella browsing all the deals in person. I’ve been impressed by the range of brands included in this year’s event, especially when it comes to shoes.

While there are stellar finds in each category, I personally think that the shoe selections are one of the top choices to shop during the event. Typically, the shoes gear more toward fall and winter picks, with plenty of boots, sneakers, and flats to choose from.

I always encourage shoppers to lean more into the classic picks (rather than trendy pieces.) This will ensure that you get the most wear from each item, and that you’ll be satisfied with your decision in the long run.

In case you need a recap, I’m sharing the sale tiers and shopping dates below. Continue on for my top shoe picks so far…

My Top Shoe Picks

Tip: I have a “Nordstrom Sale” collection in my LTK shop where you can “favorite” items that you plan to shop (just click on the heart icon).

Adidas Gazelle Sneakers

Reg. $100, Sale price: $79.99

I’ve mentioned this a couple times already, but these sneakers are hard to find in stock most of the time—let alone on sale. I haven’t seen this color combination before and I’m totally digging it as we inch closer to the fall months.

Rag & Bone Walker Chelsea Boots

Reg. $478, Sale price: $299.99

Rag & Bone is a timeless and quality brand that makes products that last. Chelsea boots will never go out of style, and this creamy pair would look adorable with denim and a chunky knit sweater.

Veronica Beard Melli Sandals

Reg. $295, Sale price: $219.99

Once again, the color is what reeled me in, but the shape, height, and universal look of these heeled sandals also makes them a winner. These would be great to wear from day to night!

Veronica Beard Casie Slingback Pump

Reg. $375, Sale price: $274.99

I came across these cuties and almost felt like the discount was too good to be true. $100 off of anything Veronica Beard is rare, particularly a pair of such classic slingbacks. The gold detailing adds just the right touch of character.

Marc Fisher Daner Pointed Toe Flat

Reg. $130, Sale price: $89.99

For a more budget-friendly shoe find, consider these pointed ballet flats (which come in several colors). This style was very much in last fall, and I suspect it will be just as big this year.

Vince Camuto Cristen Knee High Boot 

Reg. $239, Sale price: $149.99

You can never go wrong with knee high boots, and you’ll be thanking me for this recommendation once the temps drop and you need to bundle up. The brown leather is unique yet neutral enough to pair with just about anything. Plus, the heel height is not too low and not too high—something that’s surprisingly hard to find!

Stuart Weitzman Nolita Over the Knee Boot 

Reg. $850, Sale price: $549.99

I know there are a lot of people who totally love these over-the-knee boots, so I had to include them on my list. At nearly 40% off, now is the time to treat yourself to a pair.

Vince Mules

Reg. $295, Sale price: $199.99

If you don’t have a pair of mules in your wardrobe yet, this is your sign to add some before the season starts to change. The birch color looks so rich and the square toe fit offers an elevated twist to the typical flats.

Loeffler Randall Hadley Bow Slide Sandal

Reg. $250, Sale price: $199.99

Loeffler Randall is another brand that doesn’t typically have sales, so this is a special treat. These flats look feminine and fun—ideal for styling with an otherwise simple outfit.

Rag & Bone Retro Runner Sneaker

Reg. $248, Sale price: $149.99

You can never have too many pairs of white sneakers. I love that these strike the perfect balance between sporty and elevated.
