Back-to-school shopping doesn’t stop at just school supplies. Every summer, I wait for back-to-school shoe sales to get my kids new shoes. And if the sales are super hot, I’ll buy a pair for now and a size bigger for later in the school year. (And maybe even a pair for myself!)

But how do you keep track of all the best shoe sales? That’s where the deal finders at Krazy Coupon Lady really shine. I’ll point you to all the best back-to-school shoe sales so you know what to expect — and when.

Plus, doing a little back-to-school clothes shopping is a great way to get little ones excited for the school year. Because who can be upset about summer ending when they’ve got new outfits, shoes, and a brand-new backpack?

Shop Target for back-to-school shoes and sandals for 25% off.

Shopping at Target for back-to-school is inevitable. Between the deals on school uniforms to savings on school supplies, you might as well check out the back-to-school shoe sales at Target, too. Throughout the back-to-school shopping season, Target will offer multiple shoe sales, which result in saving at least 25%.

Target carries a wide variety of shoes, from sneakers to sandals to boots. Target-owned brands like Cat & Jack and All in Motion are guaranteed for up to a full year, and you can return them for any reason. So if these shoes fall apart, you can get a full refund.

Name-brand shoes such as Mizuno, Reebok, and Timberland are offered on Target.com through their Target Plus partner program. These shoes are excluded from Target shoe sales, but you can still get 5% off with your Circle Card.

A few of the Target-brand shoes can even pass as lookalikes for more expensive brands like Vans, Birkenstock, and Yeezy slides!

Look for these types of Target shoe sales:

  • Buy one, get one 50% off

  • $10 off when you spend $40 or more

  • Up to 70% off clearance — usually hits the first week or two of September
