If you’re holiday shopping this Black Friday for yourself or loved ones and don’t know where to start, we’re here to help. Give a thoughtful gift of comfort to the travelers that you know by grabbing a reliable and practical pair of shoes while they’re on sale.

For a wide selection of options, there are so many Black Friday shoe deals at Journeys up to 57 percent off.  We sorted through more than 500 footwear markdowns to find the eight best from brands like New Balance, Timberland, Vans, Adidas, Asics, and more. But don’t wait too long to shop since styles are already selling out.  

Timberland Greyfield Boots

A durable pair of winter boots is crucial for tackling all sorts of unpredictable weather conditions. This work boot from Timberland has a waterproof suede upper, recycled fabric, breathable lining, and a rubber sole for reliable traction. 

Adidas Swift Run Sneaker

The lightweight midsole in the Adidas Swift Run sneakers makes them a supportive choice for walkers and runners since they’re impact-resistant. The breathable knit upper also helps to minimize sweat. 

Converse Star Player 76 Sneaker

For a casual sneaker option that looks good with elevated outfits, too, try the Converse Star Player 76 Sneaker. It features the brand’s signature canvas upper, breathable mesh lining, and a rubber outsole. If these are a gift for someone else, consider grabbing them in a wear-with-anything color like black, white, or navy. 

Vans Old Skool Skate Shoe

Vans’ Old Skool Skate shoes are a favorite among celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski, Kourtney Kardashian, and Megan Fox, according to the brand. Add the sleek profile sneakers to your footwear lineup to emulate their street style looks in any of the on-sale colors and patterns, including iceberg green, beige, or checkerboard peach.  

Heydude Wendy Sox Slip-On Casual Shoe

An easy slip-on shoe deserves a spot in everyone’s footwear collection. This soft and cushiony option from Heydude has seamless stretch-knit uppers, removable memory foam insole, and a lightweight sole for a lived-in feel. 

Asics Japan S Platform Athletic Shoe

Classic white sneakers are a timeless shoe style, and this platform pair from Asics is no exception. They offer a retro look that combines sustainably sourced leather, cushioned sock liners, and a flexible bottom for support and traction. 

New Balance 327 Athletic Shoe 

Dad sneakers are a trend that’s likely to stick around for a while. Jennifer Aniston and Margot Robbie are just a few celebs spotted wearing the chunky yet comfortable shoes. These street-ready sneakers have a retro feel and “match a lot of things” in one shopper’s wardrobe. 

DV by Dolce Vita Brave Sneaker

If your wardrobe includes mostly neutrals, consider adding a pop of color with sneakers like this cushioned pair from DV by Dolce Vita. The padded collars provide extra softness around the ankles, and lightweight rubber outsoles flex with the shape of your feet through every stride.
