Best Memorial Day Amazon Shoe Deals 2025
Shopping for new shoes is one of the easiest ways to hit the reset button on your daily attire. With Amazon’s Memorial Day sales on top-rated sneakers and slides, this style refresher doesn’t have to cost nearly as much as you fear it will.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the shoe market is quite oversaturated right now. On one hand, it’s great to know that there are tons of bestselling styles from popular sneaker and shoe brands available for the taking; on the other hand, their sheer quantity can cause analysis paralysis in even the most trained of shoppers, but that’s where we come in to help. Our team of dedicated shopping editors peruse the best shoe launches daily, monitor the sneaker styles reaching internet-famous levels of popularity and keep our eyes peeled for footwear sales that are truly worth your hard-earned dollars.
As for Amazon’s Memorial Day shoe deals this year, we can say with full confidence that they’re worth your time. The e-tailer, after all, often offers discounts on top shoes that no other site does, making the sales special if not exactly secret.
No matter if you’re finally ready to grab a metallic adidas Samba — to honor the beloved style of tastemakers like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber — or you’re looking for a casual-cool sneaker with a midsole on the chunkier, more supportive side (we see you, New Balance 237v1!), Amazon currently has discounts of up to 57-percent off on the most coveted shoes from equally iconic footwear giants. They feel too good to be true but are, in fact, very much real.
Now that you’ve again loaded up your closet with the best summer dresses, switched your heavy work trousers to those crafted out of airy linen, and have made other warm-weather adjustments to your wardrobe rotation, the only thing missing is a pair (or two, or three) of dependable shoes that gets high marks in the style department.
Enter: Our carefully curated edit of the very best Memorial Day shoe deals to shop at Amazon, sooner rather than later. Today, preferably, if you want to snag your most-wished-for styles and not see them sell out right in front of your eyes.

Puma Men’s Club 5v5 Sneakers
A 46-percent-off deal on Puma — shout it from the rooftops! We’re not sure what attracts us more here: that drastic price cut or the shoe’s slim, soccer-inspired profile, equipped with a sockliner that boasts a thicker-than-usual heel for essential support and lift. An upper, composed of leather and synthetic materials, manages to make a black-and-white color palette look visually engaging through fluid shapes and strategically placed stitching. Besides nailing the ’80s aesthetic with this one, you also just might be able to walk faster than usual, thanks to a grippy, low-to-the-ground rubber outsole.
What testers say: “If you wear Chucks or Vans, you’ll love these. They are a bit on the narrow side, but I have narrow feet, so it’s a plus for me. Love the retro look.”
Reebok Men’s Club C Revenge Vintage Sneakers
Have a thing for tenniscore since seeing Zendaya in “Challengers”? These “Amazon’s Choice” shoes evoke the energy of the court, but they’re also one of Reebok’s most popular lifestyle sneakers to date, fit for city walkers and anyone else with a penchant for the vintage. Sometimes, a shoe’s collar and tongue can dig into skin and take all the joy out of your day, but in the case of the Reebok Club C Revenge Vintage shoe, both of these components are padded for your comfort and satisfaction. A full-grain leather upper is both flexible and sturdy, while the perforations on the vamp make the classic shoe ideal for humid summers.
What testers say: “These are great sneakers. They are comfortable, stylish, and just an overall classic. They can be a beach/skate/surf shoe, they can be a classy golf club shoe, they can be a court shoe. Whatever the vibe, these can be worn accordingly. I’ve already purchased two more pairs.”
Reebok Club C 85 Vintage Sneakers
Simplicity is key with this timeless Reebok style that fuses go-with-anything looks and functionality dedicated to saving you from foot pain. The EVA midsole, for instance, is lightweight, flexible, and shock-absorbing in equal measure; the sneaker’s all-white, all-leather upper feels sleek to the max; and those subtle pops of green are also very much welcomed. A slightly yellowed midsole here is intentional and part of that whole throwback look we’re all craving more of these days.
What testers say: “I wear these for work as a nurse and have a second pair that I wear to the gym. They have good arch support and are comfortable all day long. Nice material to easily clean off.”
Reebok Men’s Floatzig 1 Sneakers
Reebok’s promises when it comes to the Floatzig 1 are more than just marketing copy, as the running sneaker truly lives up to its hype (and then some). The shoe’s key feature is the Floatride Energy foam midsole, which has a Zig shape to reduce weight and bulk as much as possible. This foam also grants exceptional energy return, and, beyond all those technical perks, the style simply looks good. Get particularly excited about those reflective overlays on the upper, as they’ll ensure you’re able to run and walk even at night — seen, and envied, by all passerby.
What testers say: “The upper material is extremely light, reflective, and breathable; the Zig sole is extremely bouncy. It’s a great shoe, comfortable, and looks very cool. Wait for a good deal before buying, and also make sure to size down by half.”
New Balance Women’s Fresh Foam X 880v14 Running Sneakers
Have a fall marathon you need to start prepping for? This New Balance running shoe is at your service. Though it’s not the latest in the brand’s Fresh Foam line, there’s nothing outdated about the Fresh Foam X 880v14: whose mesh upper is the definition of breathable and works in conjunction with an exaggerated, foam-powered midsole that’s built for smooth transitions. Lace up your new running shoe acquisition and hit the road, feeling confident and light on your feet with every stride.
What testers say: “LOVE these shoes. They are lightweight, extremely comfortable, and supportive. I have wide/flat feet, and these are some of the few shoes that do not cramp my feet. No more rubbing of my pinkie toe. Love that these come in a Wide as well.”
New Balance Men’s 237v1 Sneakers
New Balance calls this shoe “deceptively simple and exceptionally versatile.” It’s one of those kicks you can don without questioning whether or not it will deliver in both suaveness and stability. Spoiler alert: The 237v1 always does that and more. Its herringbone outsole is designed with traction in mind; that oversized “N” branding is vocal without going overboard; and the upper’s suede overlays add a kind of soft elegance to the whole shoe. The extended midsole, too, is a feature that has already won us over.
What testers say: “My 45-year-old husband loves the comfort and fit. He’s super picky about arch support and the break across the top of the toes, and he loves these. They’re stylish, easy to dress up or down, and are approved by our adult kids, so that’s the biggest win of all!”
adidas Women’s Samba OG Sneakers
Of course you’ve heard of the Samba OG by now, flaunted on the feet of everyone from Hilary Duff (in a leopard print) and Anne Hathaway (in maroon) to Olivia Wilde (in a classic black-and-white combo) and Doechii (she chose an attention-grabbing green). These A-listers prove not only the diversity inherent to the Samba OG’s colorways and patterns, but also the endless amount of outfit combinations you can create with the shoe acting as a sartorial anchor of sorts. In the cracked metallic style, it channels the early aughts’ association with futuristic shine, while blessing wearers with a classic silhouette, a high-traction outsole made of gum rubber, and a tall enough heel tab to achieve that snug-and-secure feeling.
What testers say: “These are seriously so cute. They look sooooo good with a basic jeans and T-shirt outfit.”
Adidas Originals Women’s Tokyo Sneakers
Adidas’ Tokyo shoe has begun overshadowing the legendary Samba — and we called it. Created for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics as a low-profile training shoe, it has now been embraced by all the cool kids as an everyday sneaker capable of working with spring dresses, casual going-out ‘fits, athleisure, and more. Though adidas has recently dropped the Tokyo in metallic and neon colorways, this leather-and-suede version featuring a muted grey body is, in our eyes, a more adaptable choice.
What testers say: “Glad I bought these! The fit is perfect and comfortable. I love the low style that looks really feminine and flattering.”
Adidas Adilette Clogs
If Adidas slides tend to read a little too “European frat bro” for you, invest in the brand’s Adilette Clog instead for 40-percent off retail price at Amazon right now. What makes the slip-on so special? A contoured EVA footbed prioritizes comfort and cushioning, while perforations on the upper guarantee airiness despite the closed-toe style. If you need a new clog to wear to the pool, a shoe that will allow your feet to decompress after arduous workouts, or one that simply fits your laid-back lifestyle in any context, the Adilette is the way to go this season. Some people spice it up with charms and even laces, so the possibilities for personalization are endless.
What testers say: “These are awesome and have arch support, which is a huge plus for me. They are definitely more stylish and less noisy than Crocs. I plan to wear out in public. I had to size down from my Crocs, but all of my adidas shoes run a bit smaller. Very happy!”
Crocs Mellow Recovery Slides
Crocs says these babies are their “most comfortable slides yet,” and we have every reason to believe it. Crafted out of special LiteRide foam that treats your feet to a “melting” feeling and has a slow rebound, the Mellow Recovery Slide is like if the whole concept of relaxation was turned into a shoe. Bonus points: The textured footbed offers a bit of a massage as you walk around, and cutouts on the upper provide great ventilation (making this another solid pick for summer).
What testers say: “I wanted something to wear around the house after work, and I was replacing some of my classic clogs with these. The raised footbed is nice: It helps when it’s raining to keep my pants from getting as wet when taking my dogs out. These slides are comfortable with good arch support for all-day wear. I also bought the men’s size 12 for my husband, and he likes the style and comfort.”
