Just this week alone, a co-worker (Samantha Holender, MC’s senior beauty editor) and a close childhood friend (Heather, attached at the hip since the last day of second grade) asked me for boot recommendations. I told them both the same thing: I have many—but hang tight until I finish my round-up of the best boots on sale for Black Friday. And now, that day has finally come. Sam, Heather, and everyone else who wants to shop the top boot trends without obliterating your entire Q4 budget—this one is for you.

Ahead, you’ll find an assortment of boots from my favorite, most trusted brands and retailers, all marked down in honor of the American Olympics of shopping. That includes chocolate brown booties and suede knee-highs at Anthropologie and Nordstrom, as well as classic black boots from Madewell that look just like the ones that walked down Louis Vuitton and Gabriela Hearst’s Winter 2026 runways (trust me, I would know—I’ve spent the past month combing through the designer collections and researching the season’s most popular shoe trends).

Without further ado, welcome to my round-up of the best deals on boots for Black Friday 2025 so far. Bookmark this list and circle back for updates, as we’ll be updating this page as more sales go live throughout the week.
