Best Shoe and Boot Memorial Day Sales: 2023 Edition
Wondering if there are any sales worth checking out this Memorial Day Weekend? We’re going to be keeping track here. Have one that is missing? Shoot me a note over at 100wears@gmail.com!
Allen Edmonds
I’ve been plenty critical of Allen Edmonds’ sales tactics in the past, but there is no denying that if you just need a shoe for the office, there isn’t much better out there. For Memorial Day 2023, they are offering an extra 25% off all models already on sale (price as marked).
Available sizing is a bit all over the place, so it’s hard to recommend any specific model, but it’s worth checking out. There are plenty of main-line options if you’re flexible on color.
Carmina
The Spanish footwear maker Carmina is running 10% off sitewide, and 20% off selected items, discount applies at check out.
For me, Carmina is best for their more formal pieces, and I’d suggest something like their Cap Toe Oxfords for $420. However, if you prefer loafers or boots, they have those as well. This pair of Penny Loafers (also $420) is a classic design, and these boots might scratch that Galway itch for a lot less ($500).
Caswell Bootmakers
Owned by one of the most passionate footwear guys you’ll ever meet, Caswell Bootmakers is currently running two sales – 20% off Jumper Boots using code MEMORIAL20, and 10% off seconds (price as marked). Note, anything bought using these sales is considered final sale.
I personally think their Jumper Boot is the best design, so having those be the sale sounds great from my end. I would suggest the Brown Country Calf at $271 in first quality. The other option is brown Chromexcel, priced the same.
Grant Stone
In a rare move for Grant Stone, they are offering 15% off their entire sale collection, using code MEMORIAL23. There are a ton of options. The Brass Boot in Color 8 or Field Boot in Earth are both for just $228, and there are great options in the Veg Tanned Natural Minerva.
They also have their entire dress shoe collection here – including my favorite shoe I own, the Tassel Loafer for $221. You can also check out their really high quality Oxfords available, a shoe I would own in every color if it didn’t have a steel shank that set of metal detectors.
They also just did a large restock of their B-Grades.
Nicks Handmade Boots
Nicks Boots, in their classic way, is holding one of their incredibly specific sales. This time, it’s 10% off tactical boots and western boots. With neither of these are my preferred make up of Nicks, if you’re looking for one of these styles this is about the best pricing you can expect.
I would suggest taking a look at their Marshal for $504, or the Packer for $495.
While there, you should also take a look at the absolutely adorable Kids Work Boot collaboration with Zimmerman.
Oak Street Bootmakers
Oak Street Bootmakers is doing up to 30% off full price models, and have increased the percentage off on their sale options. This even includes limited releases.
OSB just restocked all their loafers and mocs after years of being unavailable, so I would definitely suggest checking out their Beefroll loafer for $268, or the awesome Tassel loafer for $261. The Cross-stitch Camp Moc for $254 is also a great pick up, though only limited sizing is left.
If boots are more your style, their hand-lasted field boot in natty roughout or smooth out are great picks at $388 each. If you don’t care about hand-lasting, the same boots can be had for $341 in their “Trench Boot” style.
Quoddy
Quoddy is running 20% off everything for Memorial Day, price shows in your cart. This stacks with items on sale!
The steals are the slippers – already more than 50% off, with this sale you can get either the Fireside or the Dorm Boot for just over $60.
I’m ashamed to say that I’ve gotten so old and injured I need a bit more support than Quoddy offers for shoes that I walk around in, but I have to put a good word in for the True Penny. Available here in MTO for $240. This was my favorite pair of shoes for nearly a decade and if you don’t need the support I’d strongly suggest taking a look at a pair.
Rancourt
Rancourt is offering their “Overstock” sale, featuring 25% off certain models. Sizing is extremely limited, with most offerings only being available in a single size. If they have something for you is a bit up in the air, but it’s easy to check through their offerings.
Huckberry is also offering a deal on the Harrison Boot in Khaki Suede for $217. Sizing is still limited, but there are 6 sizes available on Friday, May 26th. This comes with the great Lacte Havea crepe sole, too!
Red Wing
If you’re looking to save a bit on a pair of Red Wings, Franklin and Poe have all of their Red Wings included in their Memorial Day sale for 20% off. Enter code MEMORIAL23 at check out.
My personal favorites have got to be the 8146 Lug Sole for $240, or the overbuilt look of the 1907 for $264. Of course, they also have the classic Moc Toes and Iron Rangers as well if you want something a bit more standard.
Wesco
One brand you almost never see on sale is Wesco, but Franklin and Poe included their version of the Johannes in their 20% off sale. Enter code MEMORIAL23 at check out to bring the price down to just $548. Even better – these will ship in a few days. The current wait time from Wesco themselves is nearly two years!!
That wait time is reason enough to go with these instead.
