Save up to 61 percent on sneakers, sandals, and flats.

I’m constantly trying new trends to ensure I’m on the pulse of fashion, and this is especially true for shoes. How can I not when Mary Janes, thong sandals, and mesh flats all took over seemingly overnight? And while my closet is nearly out of space, I’m adding a few additional pairs to the lineup, thanks to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, which has major discounts on coveted styles.

Below, you can find the eight pairs I have my eye on, including from brands like Chinese Laundry, Sarto by Franco Sarto, Toms, and Keds. But what really pulled me in was the 61 percent off discounts available alongside the under-$50 price tags.

Sarto by Franco Sarto Marina Slide Sandal

Orig. $130 $50 at Nordstrom

This sandal heel is undoubtedly my favorite shoe currently up for grabs. It doesn’t only remind me of Taylor Swift and her butter yellow footwear, but intricate stitching, strategic cut outs, and a square toe set it apart. The walkable heel is also a crowd pleaser, with the quality leather being the star of the show.

Coconuts by Matisse Blondie Square-Toe Heeled Sandal

Orig. $54 $39 at Nordstrom

This striking pump is just $39 right now, and it includes a cloud-like strap, padded footbed, square toe, and slim, practical heel. Shop it in black, tan, and red (a.k.a., my favorite version), and slip into the popular kitten heel trend for less. 

Chinese Laundry Audrey Ballet Flat

Orig. $70 $47 at Nordstrom

These flats instantly reminded me of Meghan Markle’s timeless metallic footwear, and that’s reason enough for me to scoop them up during this epic sale. Better yet, the versatile design includes a flat sole, almond toe, and adorable bow—and according to a pleased shopper, they’re “by far some of the most comfortable shoes” they’ve owned. 

Toms Louisa Platform Wedge Sandal

Orig. $80 $50 at Nordstrom

This vibrant Toms sandal screams summer, thanks to its colorful, woven straps and dreamy espadrille wedge. A platform sole and grooved bottom adds the right amount of lift, adjustable straps give you the perfect fit, and a cushioned footbed keeps things comfortable. 

Keds Platform Sneaker

Orig. $60 $45 at Nordstrom

It’s always a good idea to snag a new pair of sneakers, especially when they’re as chic as this Keds find. I love the unique forest-green hue that contrasts against classic white kicks and the laid-back cotton canvas upper that’s breathable yet durable. Additional details include a raised sole, cushioned interior, lace-up style, and fashionable stitching.
