20 Best Black Friday Footwear Deals of 2025

Babe, wake up: Black Friday deals are starting to crop up before November 28, which is when the official, post-Thanksgiving shopping holiday is actually taking place. What this means for sneakerheads and footwear aficionados everywhere? The shoes of your dreams are right around the corner — beckoning to be bought for some of their lowest prices to date. And the best part? We’re here to guide you to the most worth-it Black Friday footwear deals this year, cutting through the noise of inflated markdowns and getting right down to the good stuff, in the form of extra-25-percent-off sales on Nike sneakers (code BFRIDAY at checkout, you’re welcome), up to 60 percent off on top adidas styles until November 29, no shortage of Amazon-exclusive sales on cult-fave shoe brands like HeyDude, and so much more.

Other major retailers like Zappos, too, are hosting their very own Black Friday sales events. The shoe industry giant features savings of up to 40 percent off on all your most coveted brands (yes, this means Ecco, Steve Madden, Converse, Veja, and beyond). If you’re into On’s offerings, as our editors are, its site currently flaunts never-before-seen deals on silhouettes like the Cloudsurfer Next, a version of the Cloudsurfer Max shoe this writer right here can’t stop wearing. Allbirds is also blessing its card-carrying fan club members with up to half off on flats, Merino wool–powered sneakers, and other social media darlings. Additionally, the Nordstrom Black Friday sale section is bursting at the seams with Ugg clogs for close to 30 percent off; discounted and TikTok-viral boot styles from Frye that, gloriously, accommodate those with wider calves; and everything in between.

When summer turns to fall and fall turns to winter, it’s only natural that your shoe rack experiences these seasonal changes firsthand. Flip-flops are swapped for ankle booties and mesh flats are pushed to the side in favor of comfort-forward white sneakers for women that can match a “straight-leg jeans and trench coat” moment just as well as a knit maxi work dress. In other circumstances, such upgrades often end up costing an arm and a leg, but Black Friday 2025 promises to save you major bucks as you round out your ensembles with the best of the best in the footwear world.

WWD Shop editors, on the other hand, are here to save you the major hassle that comes with having to search far and wide for the best Black Friday shoe deals all by yourself. Below, the top 20 deals — from Rothy’s to Vans to the aforementioned Nike — that you’d be wise to take advantage of, before your shoe size goes out of stock.

Ugg Goldenstar Cozy Clog 

Ugg’s booties might be all the rage, but its selection of clogs is no less incentivizing of a purchase. This Goldenstar silhouette in particular is a Nordstrom exclusive and a must-have in any well-rounded winter footwear arsenal. Its heel strap guarantees a secure fit while that wool blend lining keeps things feeling cozy and the clog’s Chestnut hue no doubt inspires many a compliment.

Frye Kate Block Heel Boot 

Olivia Rodrigo wears Frye boots, and so do Addison Rae, Miley Cyrus, and multiple other tastemakers. The simple reason for their allure? The leather here is of the highest quality and Frye itself is a founded-in-1863 brand, meaning all of its creations ooze with heritage. To put on the Kate Block Heel Boot — which comes in regular or wide calf options, with artful stitching and impressive cushioning — is to instantly level up whatever it is you happen to have on that day.

Veja Campo Sneaker

Veja has made its way over from France to become a hit in the States, too. Its sneakers are the most sought after, and the Campo is one of the highest rated of the bunch. Boasting an outsole crafted out of wild Amazonian rubber, a streamlined shape, and suede overlays on the upper, it’s a modern beaut through and through — one you’ll be turning to for years on end.

Then there’s the Cole Haan GrandPro Rally LTT Sneaker, which can be worn from work to happy-hour drinks and back again, being as versatile of a find as they come.

adidas Men’s Daily 4.0 Shoe

As the #1 bestseller in Amazon’s “Men’s Skateboarding Shoes” category, this suave stepper clocks in at just under $30 for Black Friday — practically unheard of for adidas’ top selections.

Nike V5 RNR Shoe

Meet the Nike V5 RNR, a chunky dad shoe that’s graced the feet of none other than Pete Davidson in the past. On sale in both men’s and women’s sizes, this hot commodity benefits from a foam midsole, a 3D Swoosh logo for added visual intricacy, and an oh-so-retro aesthetic that will take you right back to everyone’s favorite era: the early 2000s, obviously. (Remember to use the code BFRIDAY at checkout to unlock Nike’s 25-percent-off discount.)

Nike Dunk Low Shoe

A classic in the Nike basketball family, this sneaker is an ode to the ’80s unlike its V5 RNR counterpart. Things to love here? A padded collar that won’t ever dig into your skin, subtle sheen on that leather upper, eye-catching color-blocking, and durable, responsive cushioning for all-day peace of mind (and comfort).

Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Shoe

Now, ladies and gentlemen, the Vomero — worn by the likes of Eve, Lucy Hale, and Kendrick Lamar (he famously chose the Roam and not the 5, however). This on-sale pick marries functionality with good looks, capitalizing on features like breathability (thanks, ventilation ports!), Zoom Air cushioning for a smooth ride on all your runs, and plastic caging that not only wins points as far as appearances are concerned but also keeps the foot steady at all times.

Gola Tornado Sneaker

We love a sneaker that makes a statement, and this Zappos find — the Gola Tornado Sneaker — completely steals the show. It’s vintage-inspired, it’s denim’s best friend, and it’s available in multiple other colorway combos (besides this Lilac/Santorini, we also recommend the saturated-green Emerald/Candy).

Steve Madden Alexi Pump

We know you have many fancy-shmancy events on your social calendar this season, and we’re here to point you to a pump that will encourage you to dance the night away while looking your very best. It’s Steve Madden’s Alexi Pump — a gem of a shoe that taps into its edgier side with a little help from stud and patchwork detailing. Where comfiness is concerned, know that it’s a given, since your foot won’t feel squished even with that pointed-toe design.

Vans Knu Skool Shoe

It’s Vans’ world, and we’re just living in it. Indeed, the brand is having a renaissance of sorts, timed to the resurgence of vulcanized skate shoes at large. What to look forward to in this Knu Skool style? A suede upper that’s ready to withstand the elements, merged with a softer-than-soft cotton liner that will treat your foot the way it’s always deserved (that is, with gentleness). Also: a supportive ankle collar and a waffle outsole that will serve you just as well on sidewalks as it will while you’re suspended in the air on your skateboard, executing a flip trick.

Rothy’s The Square Mary Jane

Our editors love a Rothy’s shoe, in no small part because of the brand’s commitment to sustainability (every style is knit from recycled water bottles). As luck would have it, everything on its site is 30 percent off right now, and The Square Mary Jane is a lucky exception that’s seeing an even steeper markdown. It’s flexible as can be, not to mention being machine washable and having a thin strap at the top for keeping things feeling snug but not too snug when you’re marching to work, catching up with friends over dinner, or seeing a weekend opera performance.

On Cloudsurfer Next Sneaker

Enter: the On Cloudsurfer Next Sneaker. Though the viral brand doesn’t have a dedicated Black Friday sale per se, we’ve managed to narrow in on top-selling On styles that are going for less right now — like this overachieving runner that has a responsive superfoam midsole, a uniquely designed forefoot rocker, and an intentionally lightweight upper fabric. You’ll feel fast in this sneaker, propelled to the finish line by exceptional Swiss engineering.

Reebok Classic Leather Shoe

One of Reebok’s most popular finds, this Classic Leather Shoe in question, is 20 percent off as part of the brand’s Doorbuster Days happening. With a clean, nostalgia-inducing profile, a foam-swathed sockliner for an extra-comfy sensation, and a refreshed, two-part midsole, it will become a go-to when you’re exploring foreign streets or picking the kids up from school.

Allbirds Women’s Wool Runner Go Shoe

Finally, Allbirds’ Wool Runner Go — a brand highlight that’s experiencing a final sale of 50 percent off this week. Standing out from the crowd based on its Merino wool upper and sugarcane-based midsole, it provides what Allbirds calls “best-in-class comfort” while also being odor-minimizing and, stylistically speaking, sitting at the intersection of the luxurious and the casual.
