The best footwear deals from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Originally $140
Whenever we ask podiatrists for their brand recommendations, Hoka is always a favorite. The Mach 5 is one of its lighter sneakers, designed for speed and responsiveness (but a good fit for walkers and runners alike). And, as with all of Hoka’s shoes, these kicks have the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) seal of approval. The cushioned insole is also removable in case you need to swap out for custom orthotics.
Sizes: 6-11 (in half sizes)
Colors: 4
Originally $160
Another sneaker brand podiatrists love? Asics. The brand’s fan-favorite Gel-Kayano comes frequently recommended by podiatrists (and scores of wearers) for its generous arch support, structured stability, and feel-good cushioning. While there are only two colors available during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, $60 off a pair of Gel-Kayano sneaks is hard to beat.
Sizes: 5-12 (in half sizes and two widths)
Colors: 2
Originally $120
Another APMA-approved brand, Rykä makes a variety of orthopedic-but-not-ugly podiatrist-approved shoes. The Devotion Walking Shoe has a shock-absorbing footbed, a breathable mesh upper, and a cushioned insole with plenty of arch support. They’re great for long days on your feet, walking the dog, or running errands.
Sizes: 6-11 (in half sizes)
Colors: 3

Originally $80
The Rykä Viv 2 gives other casual sneaks a run for their money with a cushioned, supportive insole and considerably more shock absorption than your average pair of Keds. Plus, the vegan leather upper and velcro closures make these kicks sleek enough to pair with a sundress and hit the town.
Sizes: 5-12 (in half sizes and two widths)
Colors: 2
Originally $160
Sandals aren’t often recommended by podiatrists, but when they are, it’s usually a pair of Birkenstocks. And that’s great news, because these bright orange Arizona Birks are as cute as can be. Featuring the brand’s signature cork footbed, a soft leather upper, and arch support to boot (or sandal?), they’re a supportive and stylish option you’ll get compliments on all summer long.
Sizes: 5-10.5
Colors: 1
Originally $150
If you must rock a pair of heels, consider a podiatrist- and APMA-approved pair of Vionic heels. The brand’s Zinfandel Sandal has a silhouette fit for date night or a wedding, but offers a cushioned footbed and orthotic-style arch support. Oh, did we mention they’re $50 off?
Sizes: 5-13 (most half sizes available)
Colors: 3

Originally $140
Another pick from Vionic—and another great closet staple you can score for $50 off—the Newport loafer has a deep heel cup and plenty of cushion. Choose from three versatile colors (black, blue, or white) and two different widths.
Sizes: 5-13 (in half sizes and two widths)
Colors: 3
Originally $200
Prep for fall with this APMA-approved pair of Dansko boots. Despite the cute suede exterior, the Daisie is actually a waterproof style (really!) with a grippy outsole for tackling slippery surfaces. And, as with all Dansko shoes, inside you’ll find a generously cushioned footbed with added arch support for all-day comfort.
Sizes: 5.5-12 (in half sizes)
Colors: 1
Originally $65
Say what you will about the look of Crocs—they’re breathable, comfortable, and boast the APMA’s Seal of Approval. This glittery white pair is platformed for an elevated (literally) silhouette but still has the brand’s signature slingback strap for added security. Fun, meet function.
Sizes: 5-11 (whole sizes only)
Colors: 1
