Pictured: Proenza Schouler Twisted Glossed-Leather Sandals ($477)
I don't know about you, but I wait all year for the summer sales, and this year they've been over-delivering on the designer-label discounts. There's nothing better than the thrill of scouring the internet in search of the most sought-after luxury buys for way cheaper than retail, and that's exactly what I've been up to all week. I scoured top retailers like Net-a-Porter, Moda Operandi, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bergdorf Goodman, among others, who are all touting some of the deepest discounts of the whole year—more specifically, though, I narrowed in on their shoe sections where the most jaw-dropping deals are happening.
I expected to find the usual stuff on sale in August like ankle and knee-high boots, and I definitely found plenty of them, but I was pleasantly surprised to also come across a trove of the most-wanted designer shoes of spring and summer, too. From the toe-ring sandals that featured in Proenza Schouler's spring 2024 runway to The Row flats Kendall Jenner loves, I'm still in shock I was able to source so many epic finds. Ahead, the 29 pairs of designer shoes on sale that I'm still in disbelief of.
I haven't stopped thinking about them since they came down the runway styled with sheer socks and smart trousers.
The flats that are dominating my social media feeds (for nearly 50% off, no less).
Bottega can do no wrong.
Timeless doesn't even begin to describe these.
Kendall Jenner wears hers all the time.
I know I'd wear these so often they'd start to pay for themselves.
If I see you wearing these, I know you get it.
The internet lost its mind over these, and frankly, so have I.
Parisian effortlessness coming right up.
Celebs always wear these in Paris.
I have no notes.
All the TikTok girlies rave about how comfortable these are.
Pretty and practical.
Woven flats continue to be the moment.
The amount of The Row I found in the sale section is seriously unprecedented.
There's nothing you couldn't wear these with.
Smart.
Mesh flats for the win.
I don't know about you, but I'm already planning ahead for my fall wardrobe.
To wear for years and years to come.
Don't click if you hate compliments.
Guess who's cart they're already in?
Lana del Rey and Quavo would agree—these are tough.
The perfect blend of sophistication and comfort.
I wear sandals from Ancient Greek Sandals every summer and they've never failed me.
Carrie Bradshaw would approve.
Love.
Ultra polished.
My fellow East Coasters know these come in clutch for the winter.
