If there’s one thing every traveler knows, it’s that a sturdy pair of shoes is among the most important investments to make for a successful life on the go. Resting on their soles are the 10,000-plus-step days through city streets and up Arthur’s Seat, the bicycle rides along Amsterdam’s canals, and the injury-free swims in rocky Jamaican waterfalls. A high quality shoe does not come cheap—you’re going to want to buy the best, whichever combination of comfort, durability, and style you strive for. Enter the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—luxury shoes at a luxurious discount. When it opens to the public July 17, equip yourself to put your best foot forward.
Whether you’re the type of packer that wears the one pair of sneakers you step onto the plane in, or you prefer to pack any number of options with any number of functions—loafers for that fancy dinner, sandals for the beach—there are a number of styles to be aware of. Below, we’ve rounded up the best of the best stock on sale—don’t expect them to sit on shelves for long.
On almost any type of trip, if you’re only bringing one pair of shoes, you’d be wise to make them a pair of lightweight, versatile trainers. These are the shoes that ensure comfort on big walking days, can afford to get scuffed up in dustier activities, and enable you to jog or hit that hotel gym in your downtime. There are a couple good running shoes on offer in this sale—I have a few friends training for marathons this year that swear by New Balance’s offerings, while we at Traveler gave the Allbirds Tree Runners a resounding endorsement earlier this year. The Adidas Treziod running shoe also caught my eye as the athletic shoe that best doubles for a casual sneaker—nobody would think twice to see them
