Best Early Black Friday Comfortable Shoe Deals 2022

Comfortable shoes are always in style for travel — whether your destination involves sightseeing, sports, or idle strolling. And with Black Friday and Cyber Monday on the horizon, you might be planning to stock up your shoe wardrobe at wallet-friendly price points.

Here’s some good news: Given that retailers treat Black Friday and Cyber Monday more like season-wide opportunities rather than specific dates on which to push limited-time deals, you don’t even have to wait for Thanksgiving week to officially begin to score deep discounts on comfortable shoes of all types. 

Major online retailers are already posting serious markdowns on comfy footwear from sandals and water shoes to running shoes and snow boots. Sales up to 82 percent off are already live at Amazon, Zappos, Nordstrom, Target, Macy’s, and more. And if you’re feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of scrolling through endless mind-numbing sale sections, we’re here to help with this curated list. 

These men’s New Balance heritage sneakers, marked down to $50, make for the ultimate supportive walking shoe for exploring cities on foot, while you can also grab these sleek women’s Adidas running shoes to tackle your workouts. Even comfy, cloud-like footwear from Hoka, which is rarely discounted, is on sale with prices starting at $128 (originally $160). One of the best deals we’ve spotted is on a pair of canvas sneakers from Cole Haan with memory foam footbeds that are a whopping 82 percent off (so they can be yours for $25).

For hikers and trekking enthusiasts, these popular Merrell Men’s Moab 2 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot are 48 percent off, bringing their price tag to just $75 (originally $145). Women can score these waterproof Columbia Newton Ridge Plus Hiking Shoes that come in so many pretty colors for $71 right now (that’s a 30 percent discount). Plus, Amazon’s best-selling trail runners from Asics are just $50 and have 31,000 five-star ratings, with shoppers noting they even double as hikers. 

Heading for somewhere cold? Prices on warm boots have also been slashed, including these Moon Boots and ​​Bearpaw Women’s Puffy Boots, which start at just $42. Our list also covers dressier and more fashion-forward options, like these lug sole Chelsea boots from Marc Fisher that are 65 percent off and these men’s chukka boots from Clarks, which are nearly half off at just $55.

In all, here are 68 of the best deals on comfortable shoes ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday that will keep your feet pampered and pain-free wherever you may roam.
