If there’s one word to describe Black Friday it would be stressful. Also, overwhelming, frustrating, nerve-wracking — you get the idea. The joy and fun of shopping is often eclipsed by the stress that comes from trying to find the best deals and making sure you get what you want before it’s gone. When it comes to footwear, the stakes often seem even higher. A nice pair of boots or sneakers are pretty pricey nowadays, and on Black Friday you have to contend with who knows how many people vying to snag a pair (or two or three). Luckily for you, we’ve scoured the depths of the web to bring you the 10 best Black Friday deals on shoes. So sit back, relax, and shop.
