Booties for Everyday Style

Booties are my go-to transitional shoe, and this year’s options are better than ever. From low stacked heels to sleek pointy toes, NSale shoes and boots include ankle styles perfect for running errands or dressing up a simple outfit. They’re the perfect solution when you want something more polished than sneakers but easier than full boots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What’s the best type of shoe to buy during the NSale?

A. Boots and booties are typically the best investment, especially leather or suede styles that rarely go on sale.

Q. Should I size up or down for NSale shoes and boots?

A. It depends on the brand, but for boots, many women size up a half size to accommodate socks or insoles.

Q. Are NSale shoes returnable?

A. Yes—Nordstrom’s generous return policy makes it easy to try multiple styles at home and send back what doesn’t work.

Sneakers that Blend Comfort and Cool

There’s no rule that says stylish women over 50 can’t wear sneakers—especially when they look this good. This year’s NSale shoes and boots selection features sleek leather low-tops, retro runners, and platform soles with just the right amount of lift. Perfect for travel days, long walks, or casual days on the go.
