Move over, Prime Day 2025, this rival event is packed with designer deals and summer staples. Amazon Prime Day might be grabbing the spotlight, but Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is quietly running one of the hottest sales of the season.

Nordstrom began in 1901 as a Seattle shoe store called Wallin & Nordstrom, founded by Swedish immigrant John W. Nordstrom and local shoemaker Carl F. Wallin. Known for quality footwear and exceptional service, it quickly grew into a trusted name in retail. By the 1960s, the company expanded into clothing and became the iconic fashion destination it is today.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to refresh your footwear lineup, this is it. Currently, Nordstrom is offering major markdowns on designer shoes across every category, from everyday sneakers and comfortable slides to statement heels and elevated workwear staples.

We’re talking up to 38% off shoe brands like Veronica Beard, New Balance, adidas and more. Plus, 70% other categories!

If you’re chasing down a summer wedding look or just want comfy-chic styles for everyday errands, these deals are built to last and fly fast.

Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best shoes on sale at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale deals right now. Your closet (and your feet) will thank you.
