The Black Friday sales rush is on full throttle, and there’s loads of great sales ongoing at the moment. As always, Shoegazing is here to highlight a few of them for your bargaining pleasure.
The Spanish brand Meermin runs their first factory seconds sale aimed to the North American market, where you can find their welted footwear at up to 60% off RRP, so starting at below $100. Real chances to grab a bargain, if one acts fast.
The Chinese premium brand Acme Shoemaker has introduced a new range of more affordable shoes. The shoes are still hand lasted, hand welted with fully hand stitched sole seams – but some simpler make means they can be offered at €900. Looks like quite a lot of bang for the buck.
The Swedish brand Myrqvist introduces several new boots for this autumn/winter, including an updated version of their hiking boot and oiled leather chelseas on very sturdy Vibram rubber soles. Good stuff for the upcoming colder days.

About a year ago the Swedish retailer Skolyx introduced two ranges of workwear boots, fully handmade ones from the Indonesian maker Midas Bootmaker, and Goodyear welted from the Spanish brand Yanko. Now it’s launch time for a bunch of new models from both brands – service boots, moc toe boots and NST boots – where the ones from Midas also are in collaboration with hyped sole manufacturer Dr. Sole.
The Spanish brand Andrés Sendra has filled up their online sample sales section with a bunch of models, that are available from as low as €125, almost 60% off the RRP. Certainly a bargain for fine Goodyear welted shoes.
Hand lasted, hand welted shoes with handmade sole stitching priced below €150 – that are actually good looking. Not your everyday offering, but that’s what the Indian brand Blkbrd Shoemaker puts on the table. They also have a range of hand welted seamless wholecuts at only €225, which is quite remarkable.
The Norwegian bootmaker Lars Jensen of Østmo has teamed up with the Chinese brand Iron Boots to make his styles more accessible. Now the first drops from the collaboration is ready, and orders on still limited amounts can be placed the coming weeks. Here’s an introduction to the first styles.
The well-known British shoe store Pediwear is sadly closing, after 46 years in the business. Now they run a closing sale at up to 50% off on everything in their store, including Carmina, Crockett & Jones, Tricker’s, Cheaney, TLB Mallorca, Carlos Santos, Barker, Paul Sargent, Heschung, and many others. Reductions will continue to increase until everything is gone.
