Give those feet a little TLC when you step out this spring. (Getty)(Getty)
Spring is wonderful for many a thing, like longer days, warmer weather and the return of iced coffee. Also tops on our list? A wardrobe refresh. One of the best ways to defrost is to, well, actually get outside, and good shoes are key for making it happen. That means it's time to scour the internet for the best shoe deals for spring.
I hunt down deals for a living and a hobby, so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to sales that are actually good. With just a little bit of extra sleuthing, you can find so many hidden gems. Take, for example, these mega-popular Hoka Clifton 9 sneakers (they're rarely marked down) that are 25% off at Nordstrom. You can also scoop up Martha Stewart's beloved Skechers slip-ons for just $30.
If you know, you know, but shopping for shoe deals is a race to the finish line (pun intended) because popular sizes sell out fast. So treat your feet to some comfy, stylish new kicks (or sandals, boots, flats, slippers — the works!) for less and shop the best sales below.
They're available in so many colors and both narrow and wide widths. It's this variety that helped them rake in over 68,000 five-star reviews.
At this price, snag a pair to wear at home and another for running errands!
With glowing testimonials streaming in from people on their feet, like nurses, restaurant servers and even Disney theme park fanatics, the popular Adidas Cloudfoams are worth a look-see. When sneakers can survive that kind of abuse, you know they'll pamper your tootsies and keep them pain-free. These puppies are usually sold out, but they're back in stock and on sale for as little as $45 right now — that's 40% off.
"Always a fan of Adidas. These are so lightweight but supportive on my long walks, or while on my feet as a nurse. Such fun details too. Fit true to size, and were a fantastic price for a well-made shoe. Love," raved one shopper.
Want some celeb-approved shoes? Both Kyle Richards and Jennifer Garner — who we constantly look to for style inspo — adore a good pair of Asics. And this top-selling pair is 25% off.
Asics is known and loved for reliability. The brand's kicks consistently offer comfort, stability and durability, whatever the activity. These Gel-Venture 9s are made with gel shock absorption at the back to improve impact absorption and create a softer feeling at footstrike. There's also the Amplifoam cushioning for a, you guessed it, more cushioned experience.
Amazon customers agree with Kyle and Jen: "I have a very hard time finding shoes that fit me because I have a big and wide foot," explained this Asics fan. This was a great fit and super comfortable. I love the color and the durability of the shoes. The stability is great, and it supports my foot because I have flat feet and it takes away my pain from my feet."
Nordstrom's Hoka deals are top-tier right now. The mega-popular Clifton 9 kicks are marked down by up to 25% in 15 colors, and the thick cushioning makes them one of your best bets for long days on your feet. Our style editor has even put them to the test.
"I don't [run] but I walk at least 15,000 steps per day," shared an active customer. "I have tried all the brands and this is the best. Light and comfortable, it helps me to continue walking."
It's a footwear truism: You can never go wrong with a pair of leather Reeboks. Available in this classic white and over 40 other colors/styles (prices vary), your feet will thrive in these sporty-chic shoes. Yahoo writer Britt Ross is a huge fan of her pair and wore them all over Italy without even a blister. "They're lightweight, have a cushy footbed and are versatile enough to wear with jeans, shorts, skirts or dresses," she said. (Check out her glowing review here.)
Of course, she's not the only fan; thousands of Amazon customers have given these a five-star rating. "I am recovering from a broken ankle, and this shoe gives me the support I need to walk on that foot!" exclaimed one happy wearer. "Very pleased! Also, I like the look of the shoe!"
According to over 24,000 reviews, you haven't lived if you haven't slipped into a pair of Hey Dude loafers. Their rubber sole is lightweight and sturdy, and the fabric on the top stretches over your foot for personalized comfort. Fun fact: Each shoe weighs under five ounces, and you can snag 'em in 17 colors at Amazon (prices differ between colors and sizes).
"Hey Dude shoes are by far the lightest, most comfortable shoes I have ever purchased," declared a shopper with very, very happy feet. "I suffer from plantar fasciitis and am able to wear these shoes all day without adding inserts. I HIGHLY recommend."
There's nothing more classic and chic than a pair of Chelsea boots, especially when you add a little bit of spice with a lug sole and sock-like shaft. Down to $50 in certain colors, this pair is waterproof, so bring on the spring showers.
"I have neuropathy in my feet and I've been on the hunt for comfy and cute boots for years," revealed one shopper. "I usually have a hard time when something is too pointy in the toe or too heavy, but these are on the lighter side and made for comfort. They don't even need to be broken in — they're great right out of the box."
Ugg makes more than great boots, and these supremely cloud-like slippers are proof. Unlike sandal-style slippers, these cover your entire foot, so they're far less likely to fly off while you're scurrying around the house. Plus, those other styles don't offer much warmth for your exposed toes, whereas these provide fluffy wool insulation from your piggies to your heels.
"I love the style of this slipper," shared one reviewer. "My feet are always freezing and these are the warmest slippers I have ever owned. They're comfy too."
Crocs aren't just for hot summer days — these faux fur-lined puppies will tide you over through chilly spring days to come. Unlike regular Crocs, these will keep your tootsies warm whether you're lounging around the house or running errands. However, they still feature the same soft rubber construction and arch-supporting, shock-absorbing soles as the classics.
"I have been wearing them a ton as I work from home," wrote this happy five-star reviewer. "It's nice to have the option of not using the ankle strap for quick walks. I haven't washed them yet, but what a great feature to have." The same reviewer also notes that the slippers "provide great support" when using the ankle strap.
Rothy's is known for its stylish, supportive, oh-so-comfortable shoes, including this chic pair of slides. Not only are they machine-washable, they're made out of about 10 recycled plastic bottles. The cushioned, interwoven straps give them a bit of dimension, and the EVA outsoles keep things light and comfy.
"Super comfortable and elegant," explained a Rothy's fan. "Love that I can wash them after sandy adventures. A nice rich black too! I bought my usual size, they fit — but just. I’d go up half a size."
Flip-flops season is upon us, which means it's time to snag these Havaianas before your next vacation. Named one of the best flip-flips for women, the slim-fit shoes are easily one of the most popular and beloved options out there.
"These are super comfortable," shared one Zappos customer. "I want to buy them in every color. They are not clunky-looking like the regular Havaianas. The Slims are the way to go."
