There’s nothing more annoying than finally being able to wear your cute new sundress, only to realize — wait — you have no shoes to go with it. Last year’s go-to styles suddenly seem ready for retirement, full of scuffs, dirt and damage you never noticed until now. This spring, we’re saving ourselves some pre-event panic and stocking up on new footwear during Nordstrom’s End of Season sale. Shockingly, the retailer has plenty of cute sandals and sneakers priced under $50, making our mini warm-weather refresh feel totally doable. It’s truly a two-for-the-price-of-one situation!
Since this is a Nordstrom we’re talking about, our favorite discounted picks aren’t from random brands. Our list of must-buy sale shoes includes options from Reebok, Nina, Minnetonka and more labels we’ve loved and trusted for years. However, that also means you won’t want to wait to add ’em to your cart. With designs and prices this good, these sandals and sneakers are bound to sell out soon!
Under-$50 Sandals and Sneakers on Sale at Nordstrom
1. Everyday Option: A quality, neutral sandal discounted before summer, rather than after? Muk Luks’ slides feel like a rare find! Aside from the versatile light brown colorway, we’re fans of the easy slip-on design, cutout detailing and comfy cushioned soles — was $50, now $40!
2. Expensive-Looking: Maybe it’s the stylish big buckle or the raffia accent, but these Mia sandals look five times their price. They’re the kind of fancy-feeling pair you pack for vacation and end up wearing to dinner every night — was $79, now $50!
3. Trendy With a Twist: Sporty suede kicks are having a moment, and Puma’s Arizona sneaker is leading the pack. While the style is pretty popular, we’re really feeling the rose-quartz colorway, which adds a slight pop of color while still acting as a neutral — was $80, now $48!
4. Designer-Inspired: Simple leather (and faux leather) slides are set to be the ‘It’ shoes of the summer. However, while interlocked designs from high-end brands cost hundreds, this similar Call It Spring option is under $40 — was $55, now $36!
5. Very Versatile: Sundresses, Bermuda shorts, wide-leg jeans — you’ll have a hard time finding an outfit that won’t work with Comfortview’s gold-toned Alora sandals, which are surprisingly versatile. While they feature a sleek ankle strap, a secret back zipper makes them easy to slide on. And thanks to the skid-resistant outsole, you won’t be sliding as you go about your day — was $57, now $48!
6. Rich Mom Staple: Wealthy women tend to wear shoes that are a step up from simple, and this leather-like sneaker checks all the boxes. The clean white colorway will complement a ton of outfits, but the luxe perforated detailing adds fashionable flair — was $57, now $48!
7. Easy Espadrilles: Espadrille sandals never go out of style, but if you don’t have it in you to wobble around in a wedge, this flat, ankle-strap alternative has a similar vibe — and is way easier to walk in! — was $50, now $35!
8. Fashionable Find: Dare yourself to be different by trading simple white sneakers for a beige pair from Reebok. The bright suede design will quickly enhance all your basic outfits, so even if you’re rocking a white T-shirt and jeans, you’ll look (and feel!) like a street style star — was $60, now $45!
9. Forever Cool: Consider this your sign to replace the slip-on Vans you’ve owned for years. This blue-and-white checkered pair is 40% off, and for a forever-trendy, celeb-loved shoe, that’s a pretty good deal — was $60, now $36!
10. Event-Ready: If you’ve got a wedding, bridal or baby shower on your calendar, Mango’s ankle-strap sandals are calling your name. The metallic, strappy design makes them feel dressy, while the short, supportive block heel keeps your feet from aching, even after hours of wear — was $80, now $50!
11. Cool Hybrid: Ballet flats or sneakers? With Keds’ Bliss Slip-Ons, you don’t have to choose! The fashion-forward hybrid is the best of both worlds — sweet yet sporty, pretty yet practical — putting it in the running to become your new go-to shoe — was $55, now $39!
12. Understated and Elevated: If you’d rather invest in just one pair of summer-ready shoes, check out Nine West’s Maizy sandals. The brown, strappy design is so sleek and simple, it’ll blend in with every look rather than stand out — was $69, now $50!
13. Tried-and-True: Dr. Scholl’s Madison Slip-On is a cute yet comfy sneaker that gets tons of praise online — which is why we’re grabbing a pair while it’s on sale. Shoppers swear the machine-washable (!!!) pick offers “great support,” and shockingly, “goes with every outfit” — was $55, now $45!
14. Bitty Bows: Bow details have been trending for a while now, and the embellishment doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Upgrade your sandal collection with some sweet, tied-up slides that also feature a small block heel for added height — was $89, now $45!
15. Ready to Walk: Not all cute sandals are easy to walk in, but somehow LifeStride created something that’s the best of both worlds. The brand’s flashy silver slingbacks provide plenty of support and cushioning, and thanks to sturdy straps, they’ll stay on your feet, even as you trek around town — was $55, now $42!
16. Buckle Up: Double-buckle slides are the warm-weather staple you’ll be seeing everywhere from now through fall. This option isn’t just easy to throw on — the wool-blend upper is softer than plastic alternatives, so you won’t have to worry about nursing painful blisters after you take them off — was $99, now $40!
17. ’90s Vibes: These low-profile Reeboks were inspired by soccer shoes, but that doesn’t mean you need to wear them with moisture-wicking shorts or other athleisure staples. The chunkier design is ideal for balancing out feminine pieces, and will toughen up A-line skirts or make floaty dresses feel more casual.
