Score major markdowns on bestselling shoes from Hoka, Crocs and more. (Zappos)
With spring finally here and warmer weather on the horizon, soon you'll have no shortage of opportunities to get outside and show off a new pair of shoes. Lucky you: Zappos just dropped its spring sale and we're falling head over heels for the massive discounts on comfy sneakers and sandals. Top brands are up to 50% off!
Seriously, Zappos has a whopping 3,000 women's shoe deals right now — it’s like a treasure trove. Scrolling through page after page of deals is my kind of bliss, but I know that's not everyone’s cup of tea. So, as your friendly fashion enthusiast, I scoured the sale and picked 10 of my favorite styles to share with you. My list not only includes our pick for the most comfortable walking shoes — Hoka's Clifton 9 sneakers for 35% off — but also these Kate Middleton-approved Supergas, which are half off at the moment.
Just know that time is of the essence! Certain styles and colors are already flying off the shelves, so: Ready, set, shop!
If comfy cool is your jam, this is the shoe for you. Beloved by chefs, medical workers and kids alike, Crocs are lightweight, easy to clean, quick-drying and water-friendly. The price varies on the style and size you choose, but you can't go wrong with this go-with-everything off white that's marked down to just $30.
If you're looking to put some spring in your step this season, you can't go wrong with a comfy pair of Hokas. Of course, these sought-after sneaks — which are praised for their lightweight feel and cushioned soles — don't come cheap, which is why we pounce whenever there's a sale. This deal brings them down to as low as we're seeing them at the moment, but certain colors and sizes are going fast, so add 'em to your cart quickly!
"Several of my fellow nurses have these shoes, and I like the fact that the sole is wider at the part of the shoe your foot is in; gives more stability when walking," shared a healthcare pro. "I ordered these, and I'm so happy I did because they are so comfortable and I love the colors! Very happy with my purchase."
Kate Middleton's standby sneaks are 50% off! The classic yet simple design has a breathable canvas upper and a thick rubber sole that provides excellent traction. These lace-ups are comfy and versatile to boot — you can wear them with everything from casual jeans to flirty frocks.
"These sneakers are super comfortable and cool!! I got so many compliments from people all over the city. I will definitely get another pair in a different color," raved one shopper.
Looking for flip flops with a more refined feel? Consider investing in this sparkly leather pair by Tory Burch. Shoppers say they are comfortable enough to wear all day long, even to fancy dinners and nights out on the town. Certain sizes and colors are over 40% off.
Achy feet? Try these cool kicks, complete with a padded insole collar and tongue for extra comfort. The cushiony shoes are designed for running, so they are incredibly lightweight at just 6 ounces; you'll barely notice you’re wearing them. Their simple minimalist design makes them incredibly versatile — you’ll look great whether you're pounding the pavement or just hanging out.
This popular pair is down to $65 — their lowest price in 30 days! They have lightweight cushioning and a durable sole that cradles your feet for extra support. Along with a padded tongue and collar that feels plush on your feet, the sporty kicks have pull tabs in front and back so they're a breeze to slip on and off. Bonus: They're available in whole and half sizes 5 to 12.
New York-based podiatrist and foot surgeon Dr. Hillary Brenner told us she's a fan of this brand's comfortable sandals. "The arch is thick with a wide chunky heel giving extra support," she says. The slip-resistant shoes have anatomical arch curves and an air-foam footbed that puts a bounce in your step. This fun orange shade is a cool 25% off right now.
This no-lace, pull-on style earns high marks for its breathable upper and sole made with responsive cushioning to keep you comfortable for miles. The dual-density outsole provides the stability and support you need for all-day wear.
"These shoes have been a lifesaver. As an older woman, putting on shoes had become a chore. Unable to bend over or bend my legs, I had to use shoe horns, ask for help, or just wear flip flops. I love that I can just slip my foot right in," noted one happy customer.
These are already my go-to summer shoes for when I have to do a lot of walking, and now that they're down to 40 bucks I'm getting another pair! Their polyester straps are soft against my skin; even when I walked 20,000-plus steps in a day on vacation, they didn't dig in or give me blisters once. They dry fast, which came in handy at the pool or when I needed to rinse them off after a dusty day of sightseeing.
Podiatrists love this brand's offerings; the shoes are specifically designed to keep your feet properly aligned. This stylish, supportive leather pair has adjustable straps, making it easy to find that just-right fit. And with a durable rubber outsole that grips well on various terrain, you can walk freely without worrying about slipping or sliding.
