Shoe Edition
The Nordstrom sale tends to have a lot of hype. If done right, you can land some of the best staple items that you will wear all year long! I tend to snag a few things in particular every year. Here are my favorites for me and my son (five years old).
If you have the Nordstrom credit card, you get to shop the sales earlier! The more you have spent with them, the earlier you can shop! I get to start on July 16th as “Influencer” level (that is purely based on spend and has nothing to do with the number of followers at @hackingtheworkingmom)
In what I share below, I do get a small commission if you purchase after clicking through my links! It’s not a lot but it does help me have the time to be able to put these lists together for you! I hope you find the information helpful!
Kid’s Shoes
I typically grab Nike’s for Eli. I am not even sure why I started grabbing him Nike’s but he loves them and this year they have some really cool colors. Often, you can get a pair of sneakers half off! My kid is going to love the black, red and blue Nike Flex Plus!
Women’s sneakers
There seems to always be a pair of mute pink sneakers that are the tennis shoe to grab! I love the color because it goes with so much while not just being a standard neutral. I think this pink currently falls into neutral? These always sell out. The elastic instead of laces is a win for me! I am always throwing on my shoes and this makes it a little easier.
I noticed this muted leopard print sneaker was available in a running shoe and am eyeing it as well! I don’t really run, but I feel like chasing a five year old counts.
I am a sucker for a good basic white sneaker. It looks cute with dresses or with shorts and I have been on the look out. Sam Edelman is a solid brand that is support but stylish! There are multiple colors available in this sneaker at 50% off!
I haven’t ever caved to the UGG slippers. I have a friend who raves about them and I think I just might cave this year. It doesn’t hurt that they are 30% off!

I kinda love these shoes. I am not totally sure how I am going to style them yet and don’t care. But sometimes that is the point. I would rather have a few shoes that I love than a bunch that I never wear!
A good over the knee boot is a must in the fall! It’s the perfect shoe with dresses when it’s starting to get cold outside and just carries a little spunk with it.
I purchased these shoes a year or two back in a Nordstrom sale and they are cute with so many outfits! The mushroom is my favorite color since it’s neutral and goes with so much. Grab them here.
If you grab anything, share it on Instagram and tag me! I love to know when you guys love things that I recommend!
