Nordstrom’s May 2026 Half-Yearly Sale is happening right now, which means up to 50% through June 1. With only a few days left before items return to full price, I rounded up the best deals in the shoe section. As I browsed, I decided to skip the trendy styles and instead curate a list of timeless pairs that will stand the test of time: ballet flats, kitten-heel sandals, loafers, boots, and low-heel pumps.

Whenever there’s a Nordstrom sale, I have a handful of brands I check first, such as Tory Burch. This time, my favorite sale item from the designer is the 30%-off Minnie Travel Ballet Flats. For those looking ahead to fall, the label’s Violet T-Strap Flats are also marked down.
