The below content is about the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
Just for kicks I thought I'd take a final swing through the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (it ends tomorrow!) and take a look at the shoe offerings (TONS of sizes and colors left). There are actually a ton of interesting trends this year. Some of my top choices are below… What have you guys been hunting for in terms of shoes this year?

Lug-Soled Boots
The big, big trend that I'm noticing this year is heavy lug soles and almost a combat boot vibe. Let's hope it's not a prediction for 2021! That said, the old Doc Martens lover in me kind of likes these with skinnies or leggings if you've got a casual day ahead of you.
Pictured above, $44–$99: croc embossed / combat boot / water- resistant lace-up / waterproof hiker boot
Pictured above, $99–$299: croc print combat boot / lug sole / Tory Burch lug sole / crinkled patent
Weatherproof Boots
Some of the above options include weatherproof boots as well, as noted in the mini-description — as always, take a look at the offerings from Blondo, Aquatalia, and La Canadienne.
Some nice options in the weatherproof boots include:
Above, $49–$349: sneaker / high gloss quilted / “herb” suede / tall
Comfortable Flats in the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Call me crazy, but I feel like flats are where it'll be at for a while now. These are some really nice, comfortable flats if you're on the hunt:
Below, $49-$129: slingback / square toe loafer / leopard / elastic straps
Sneakers in the 2020 NAS Sale
What are your thoughts on sneakers for fall, ladies? I've seen some commenter discussion of getting fancier “fashion” sneakers like Golden Goose or P448 (in the sale!), while I think others are more feeling like fun slip-ons or mules for taking the dog for a walk. Some nice options from the (very!) wide range:
Below, $54–$199: hot pink / croc (Cole Haan) / wedge / zebra
(Not pictured but very nice in that laid-back vibe: Sofft mules)
Heeled Boots in the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
If you want a sleeker look with tights or skirts, of course, there are always nice heeled options. These are some of my favorites:
Below, $89–$249: navy knit / knit / wine croc / block heel
(Not pictured but also lovely: black weatherproof)
Pumps for Work in the 2020 NAS
I think Nordstrom realizes as much as the rest of us that perhaps we won't be wearing heels too much in the coming months. Still, there are some nice options if you're building a work wardrobe or looking for some unusual choices such as the half d'Orsay or the heeled loafer (definitely a rarity!).
Below: $49–$199: black / half d'Orsay / dark beige suede / heeled loafer (water resistant)
(Not pictured: a lovely slingback from Ted Baker!)
