What Type of Shoe Deals Can We Expect to See This Amazon Prime Day 2022?
- Workout sneakers from top brands: Amazon’s selection of workout shoes is getting major discounts, including workouts of all kinds. There are deals on women’s and men’s cross-training shoes, women’s and men’s walking shoes, and women’s and men’s hiking boots, or trail running, if that’s more your, ahem, speed. Plus, there are deals on some of the best running shoes, which you can wear for just about any activity.
- Stylish fall shoes: On the more casual side of the shoe spectrum, look to the everlasting appeal of men’s and women’s white sneakers. They are easy to wear in basically any setting — and there’s nothing quite like a fresh pair of white sneakers. For something a little warmer, we’re on the lookout for deals on fall boots.
- Dress shoes: Dress shoes tend to just be more expensive, which can be frustrating if they aren’t the shoes you’re wearing the most. Prime Day Deals are best spent on stuff like this: things you need but don’t really want to spend a bunch of money on. For men, we’re hoping some Cole Haan oxfords that were on sale last Prime Day, and we’re lookout for streamlined combat boots to wear dressed up. For women, we’re looking to ankle boots and comfortable dress shoes that have sneakily built-in support.
- Comfortable footwear for foot conditions: Shopping with Amazon’s range of products means you can look for shoes and details you maybe can’t find at just any local store. Maybe you have knee pain or back pain and are looking for a comfortable shoe for men or comfortable sneakers for women for support — especially for people with those pains who are standing all day. Or maybe you have a more tangible need you’re addressing, like plantar fasciitis, bunions, flat feet, and extra ankle support. There are also shoes for neuropathy and wide-foot shoe options.
- Warm winter boots: Maybe you hate missing a good deal and don’t mind stocking up ahead of time, in which case, this is your chance to score a pair of winter boots for men or women or a pair of fuzzy slippers for women or men before the colder months hit.
