13 Insanely Comfortable Nordstrom Shoes With an Under-$5 Cost Per Wear

In case you haven't heard, Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is currently running through August 4 (after that, prices go back up), and we've been doing our part to make navigating the sale easier for you. We've been committed to recommending the sale's very best fashion and beauty finds, and this time, we're talking about shoes, actually even better: comfortable shoes.

With its vast selection of styles like sneakers, flats, and boots, and brands ranging from high to low, Nordstrom is perhaps the best retailer there is for seeking out comfortable shoes. And lo and behold, plenty of them are included in the sale, and they're more affordable than ever with prices ranging from $47 to a still reasonable $190. To make things really interesting, we chose the most stylish and comfortable pairs that truly have a cost per wear of less than $5 if worn a reasonable number of times each week for the next 25 weeks. So you can rest assured that you're truly getting your money's worth with these 13 sale shoes. Keep scrolling to shop the shoes and see a couple of outfits that each versatile pair would work with. (And don't worry—we did the cost-per-wear math for you!)

Sporty Sneakers

These Nike sneakers are comfortable for obvious reasons (and there's no denying this chic color combination). Plus, sneakers are something you'll feasibly wear multiple times a week.

The math: $75 sneakers ÷ 4 wears/week for 25 weeks = $0.75 per wear

Black Ankle Boots

Black ankle boots will always be among our top 10 wardrobe staples, and this pair is particularly luxe and expensive-looking, thanks to the croc embossing. Bonus: One review states, "The block heel is stable and really comfortable to stand and walk in."

The math: $110 boots ÷ 2 wears/week for 25 weeks = $2.20 per wear

Low-Heel Black Sandals

Given how versatile these patent leather sandals are, it's very feasible that you'll wear them multiple times from now through mid-fall, so consider them a great investment. Plus, these feature a walkable heel and supportive straps.

The math: $190 sandals ÷ 3 wears/week for 25 weeks = $2.50 per wear

Loafers

Loafers are one of those shoe styles that becomes a trend from time to time, but the truth is that they're timeless and look great with a surprising number of outfits. The other good news is that Born is one of the most comfortable shoe brands on the market.

The math: $60 loafers ÷ 2 wears/week for 25 weeks = $1.60 per wear

Snakeskin Boots

Snakeskin boots with neutral colors are nearly as versatile as solid-colored boots, so it's safe to say that you'll find opportunities to wear this perfect pair at least once a week. Early reviews state that these are quite comfortable.

The math: $80 boots ÷ 1 wear/week for 25 weeks = $3.20 per wear

Leather Pumps

Pumps are a basic that will never go out of style (just ask Kate Middleton). Especially if you work in an office, you need a neutral pair for those outfits that require something simple and polished. Additionally, this pair features a cushioned insole.

The math: $80 pumps ÷ 2 wears/week for 25 weeks = $1.60 per wear

High Black Boots

Sam Edelman boots are a crowd favorite, and we love how classic yet on-trend this slouchy suede pair is. These are the perfect boots to wear with skinny jeans come fall.

The math: $150 high black boots ÷ 2 wears/week for 25 weeks = $3 per wear

Ballet Flats

Ballet flats are a significant fall shoe trend, and this is the perfect time to refresh your collection. Plus, Cole Haan's comfort technology has always been a leader in the footwear industry, and you can bet that this fun pair is no exception.

The math: $100 ballet flats ÷ 1 wear/week for 25 weeks = $4 per wear

Combat Boots

Another Born pair (because comfort), wear these with minidresses now and loose jeans later to channel the most stylish models on the street style scene.

The math: $100 combat boots ÷ 3 wears/week for 25 weeks = $1.30 per wear

Flat Mules

These easy, simple mules will quickly become your go-tos for casual weekend days. Reviewers rave that they're sturdy, comfortable, and sleek.

The math: $55 flat mules ÷ 2 wears/week for 25 weeks = $1.10 per wear

Classic White Sneakers

The only thing we love more than the traditional canvas Chuck Taylors is this luxe leather pair. Wear them with everything from leopard print jeans to slip dresses and call it a day.

The math: $47 classic white sneakers ÷ 4 wears/week for 25 weeks = $0.47 per wear

Rain Boots

Hunter Rain Boots are the holy grail of rain boot brands, and this pair is packable. Pair them with skinny jeans or even dresses on dreary fall and winter days.

The math: $90 rain boots ÷ 1 wear/week for 25 weeks = $3.60 per wear
