15 Best Footwear Deals We Spotted at Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale

The long-awaited Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (also known as the retailer’s biggest sale of the year) is in full swing, and Nordstrom cardholders were able to shop it early: getting their hands on the steepest footwear deals and the most coveted styles while the rest of the public waited for the event’s official kickoff on July 18.

Not a cardmember yet? Signing up is easy to get ahead of the curve in 2027, with the approval process oftentimes being instantaneous. After becoming part of this “in” club, you’ll also be privy to perks like $60 off your next Nordstrom haul, extra points on each purchase, and exclusive shopping privileges during tentpole sales like this one.

Every year like clockwork, our team of editors starts the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale bargain hunt before anyone else: filtering out the worth-it from the just-mediocre while cherry-picking the exact shoe silhouettes that are making waves in the present moment, be it thanks to the latest runway directives or your favorite celebrity’s recent street-style equations.

Summer 2026, it’s safe to say, is all about jelly sandals (again), kitten heels, Mary Jane flats, model-off-duty white sneaker pairings, and dress shoes that do more than just take you to and from the office. We’ve spotted all this and more on Nordstrom’s virtual shelves, and you’ll be happy to know we’re not in the business of gatekeeping any of it.

The sale runs through August 9, and tons of styles are already fully sold out… or at least sold out of most sizes. That being said, here are the best shoe deals — of over 40 percent off in some cases — that are still up for grabs at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

Because stepping into the upcoming fall season with confidence shouldn’t make collateral damage out of your checking account.

Best Footwear Deals for Women to Shop During Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale

Tory Burch Chelsea Boot

$279.99 $475 41% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

Each autumn, the pull-on Chelsea boot becomes a complete essential. After all, its ankle-grazing height, foot-hugging fit, and traditionally monochrome color palette make the shoe an apt complement to baggy denim, cargo pants, trench coats, statement maxi skirts, and a myriad of other fall closet favorites. This Chelsea, from Tory Burch, takes the timeless silhouette up a notch with logo hardware dotting those elastic insets.

Crocs Miami Ombré Flip-Flop

$24.99 $39.99 38% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

If you think Crocs is only a purveyor of the legendary Classic Clog, think again. Its flip-flops for women repurpose all that lightweight flexibility and comfort in context of something that’s (arguably) much more stylish and ready to pair with your dresses, swimwear, or even tee-and-jeans combos worn around the city.

En vogue square toe? Gradient, quiet-luxury color treatment? Slight, wedge-based lift? Slip-free sole? Crocs’ Miami offers this and then some, for your warm-weather enjoyment in the final month of summer.

Cole Haan Rosabella Fisherman Sandal

$109.99 $170 35% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

Fisherman sandals, polished and nautical-inspired in equal measure, have emerged as one of today’s most prominent obsessions in the universe of shoes. Seen on the feet of Hailey Bieber, Taylor Swift, Katie Holmes, and dozens of Fashion Week attendees in the past year or so, this quick-drying, caged, and (usually) leather item doles out coverage, stability, and trans-seasonal adaptability.

Cole Haan’s interpretation is a winner in our book: intricate in craftsmanship, deferential to a long-gone era in its design codes, and absolutely high-end. One look at that gleaming gold buckle and the straps’ matte sheen confirms the latter.

Adidas Gazelle Indoor Sneaker

$89.99 $130 31% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

Under $90 for a limited time only, this Gigi Hadid– and Harry Styles–repped kick might’ve been originally designed for the court but is now a veritable staple in every urbanite’s wardrobe. Match its earth-toned suede with some light-wash, straight-leg jeans, and you’re off to the races.

On Cloudnova X Training Sneaker

$119.99 $170 29% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

This sneaker is a beacon of On’s finest qualities, what with its dual-density superfoam that secures softer landings and equal weight distribution; CloudTec sole specializing in smooth rides plus superior energy return; and arch-blessing insole that can also be swapped for an orthotic of choice. Long story short, the Cloudnova X is made for running — marathons or errands, your call.

Vince Barcelona Jelly Cage Mule

$129.99 $198 34% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

Yes, jelly sandals are hot, but caged jelly mules just might be the smartest investment of summer: granting added coverage and more opportunities for styling beyond the beach club. Consider this gridded Vince pair your one-way ticket to the ’90s, pampering all looks from hereon out with playfulness and breathability alike.

Frye Kate Block Heel Boot

$269.99 $368 27% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

And if you’re never not in an autumnal state of mind, you’d benefit from adding Frye’s Kate to cart. Reviewers go so far as to call this boot “lifesaving,” due in no small part to its wide calf–accommodating fit. Flexible and cushioned, it will soon become your go-to for outdoor music festivals and line-dancing lessons.

Ted Baker Iris Sandal

$119.99 $160 25% off

Buy Now at nordstrom

Trust us when we say: Kitten heels this chic rarely ever go on sale, so don’t waste a moment in scoring Ted Baker’s take on the trend. The Iris surprises and delights with its strappy upper, pearl detail, and just-right heel height. All that’s missing? A polka-dotted maxi dress, of course.
