As a shopping writer, I consider Black Friday to be my Super Bowl. I plan for it meticulously, but even still, the items on my wishlist are often sold out before I can click “check out”. That’s why this year I’m focusing on pre-Black Friday Sales, so I don’t miss out on amazing deals on the best travel accessories, clothes, luggage, and more.
Top of my list is comfortable footwear. Your footwear can make or break your trip, which is why it’s essential to find supportive and durable shoes that you can wear throughout your adventures pain-free. Thankfully, the pre-Black Friday deals are already rolling out from retailers such as Amazon, Nordstrom, Zappos, and more, so you can snag a comfy pair of shoes before your next vacation.

Best Sneaker Deals
Zappos
As a travel writer, you’ll never see me pack my suitcase without at least one pair of sneakers. They’re the best for keeping up with a hectic trip schedule, and for supporting me on long days when I’m constantly on my feet. For days when you need extra support, the Online Platform Sneaker from the podiatrist-approved brand Dr. Scholl’s is a fantastic option, now on sale for 50 percent off. For trips when you plan to be super active, it’s nice to have a good pair of running shoes packed, like the $57 Nike Revolution 8 Road Running Shoes. If you want the support of a sneaker, but something a bit more cute and casual, then $60 Sam Edelman Kallen 2 Lace-up Shoes may be the fit for you/

Best Hiking and Snow Boot Deals

Safety is a priority, whether you’re hiking up the side of a mountain or taking out the trash on an icy driveway. Your boots should be waterproof, have incredible traction, and be comfortable enough that you’ll actually opt for them instead of a different boot or sneaker. The $110 Forsake Wild Sky High is a classic that’s great for everyday wear as the temperatures drop and the ground begins to get slushy. If you need a pair of boots you can wear in some serious snowy weather, then look no further than the Columbia Ice Maiden II Snow Boots, currently 30 percent off.
