Amazon Prime Day is officially on the way — and shoe deals will be rolling in by the motherlode from July 16 through July 17. The shopping event annually offers some the best clothing, beauty, home, and footwear deals of the entire year that you can’t find from any other retailer, and we’re already spotting early Prime Day price drops you can shop now.
Ahead of Amazon Prime Day, we’re already seeing major discounts on top-trending Adidas walking shoes — Adidas Samba’s anyone? — cute summer sandals, and cushioned running shoes, along with luxury styles from brands like Larroudé and Lacoste. While we hope these sale prices will continue to drop to even steeper price points, there’s no saying whether your size will still be in stock when Prime Day officially kicks off. But, it’s certainly a safe bet that you’ll be able to stock your cart with the lot of shoe and sandal styles fit for summer adventures, like marked-down trail-running sneakers, Crocs clogs, expert-approved water shoes, travel shoes, fisherman sandals, kitten heels and trendy floral shoes for summer weddings, and practically everything in between.
Amazon Prime Day only comes around twice per year — once at the peak of summer, and again in the fall — so you won’t want to miss out on thousands of rare deals that are slated to drop in a matter of days. The only way to get access to the sale and all the perks Amazon Prime has to offer is by signing up for a free trial, which will last 30 days and last through the epic sales on July 16 and 17.

Below, trusty tips that have helped our shopping editors score the best deals during previous Prime Day sales.
- Become an Amazon Prime member: If you want to participate in all the Prime Day deals, you’ll need to be set up with an Amazon Prime account first — and if you’re already a member, make sure your account is active so you don’t miss out on the discounts.

- Set deal notifications: If you’re coveting specific shoe styles from top brands, set alerts notified as soon as Amazon drops their prices. To do this, create a Wish List by heading to the Amazon app and tapping the “Wish List” icon. Select “Create a List,” go to “Settings,” and then “Notifications” and turn on the “Deals” option. Then, find your desired product and select “Watch This Deal.” Amazon will send you alerts as soon as the item goes on sale.
- Check for verified sellers: To avoid spending precious time and money on counterfeit or damaged shoes, ensure that you’re ordering from a verified storefront. Examine the “sold by” sections in the product description and check to see if it says “Amazon” or the brand’s name. If an item is available for Prime Shipping or has an Amazon Choice badge, you can trust that the brand is a vetted Amazon market partner.
- Shop Amazon’s storefronts: Amazon provides influencers the ability to organize recommendations with personal Amazon storefronts, which is a great place to shop tested and recommended sneaker or sandal styles. Amazon also provides specific storefronts for various needs, like the Amazon Sneaker Shop curated by Stadium Goods and the Luxury Shoe storefront.
