Finding boots for less isn't just a fantasy anymore. Thanks to all of the discount sites and web sales -- many of which I've listed below -- you can now snag a pair of brand name or designer boots for a fraction of their original cost.
But finding your stylish boots for less is only half of the battle. In addition to looking good, the boots need to fit well and feel comfortable, and they need to hold up.
Here are a few tips that will help insure you have the best shopping experience possible when shopping for discount boots. Additional advice can be found by checking out my article about what to look for in an
Online Shoe Store.
- Check the Return Policies. Some of the sites I've listed below offer really great deals, but you may find that sales are final, or that you'll have to pay for return shipping if the boots don't meet with your approval. Be sure that you're comfortable with any site's return policy before actually purchasing.
- Read Reviews. Some sites offer full-fledged reviews of boots, and others offer survey responses that provide valuable information as to whether other buyers found the boots to run small, large, etc. The more information you can gather about a pair of boots, the better -- especially if you can't return them.
- Act Quickly. Once you're sure you've found your "must-have" boots, and you're comfortable with the site's shipping and return policies, don't wait too long to buy. The price reductions may be temporary, and with limited sizes on most discounted items, they can sell out quickly. I recently left a pair of deeply discounted boots in my shopping cart for an hour to find they'd sold out before I clicked that final purchase button.
Top Sites for Discount Boots and Boots on Sale
Loads of Discounted Boots at 6pm.com
6pm.com has quickly become one of my favorite shoe sites, and I'm happy to report that it's a great destination for discount boots as well. With hundreds of top name brands and designers, loads of recent styles are marked up to 75% off every day. And if you visit often, you'll see that once a week or so they offer even bigger discounts by marking all styles from a certain brand or designer one flat rate. I recently scored 3 pairs of Nine West boots for $24.95 per pair.

GothamCityOnline is another site that you should definitely check out in your quest for discounted boots. Lots of brand names and huge discounts are the biggest reasons to visit, but I also like the way this site is laid out. Since all available sizes are printed on the general category pages, looking for a half-size up or down is as simple as scanning the one page, while searching for one specific size is a breeze.

Endless.com - Great Selection of Boots on Sale
Endless.com is another of my favorite sites for discount boots and shoes. Many of the biggest brand names are available, and there's also a generous offering of designer labels mixed in. While this site isn't strictly a discount site, they always have great regular prices and also have some of the best sales going. And with free overnight shipping, they're even more irresistible.

Shoes.com Lots of Boots on Sale
Shoes.com is another site that isn't specifically a discount site, but is definitely worth checking out when you want a pair of boots for less. In addition to the many styles that you'll find on clearance and sale any given day, once a month they hold their famous
Saturday Sale, which is a great way to score even bigger discounts.

If you're looking for really inexpensive boots, and I'm talking less than $20, then you might want to give CutesyShoes.com a look. You won't recognize the majority of the brands and their shipping isn't as fast or cheap as many of the other sites listed, but they have loads of affordable boots. Most of the styles will appeal especially to younger women and teens, but I've purchased from them myself with no problems so far.
