DSW's clearance offer gives you up to 55% off items that need to move, making it the page's lead deal and a strong choice for anyone hunting for steep discounts. If you're after shoes at the best possible price, this is where to start—though several other promotions could deliver better savings depending on what's in your basket and what you're buying.
Shopping for a single item under $59: The clearance deal at up to 55% off is your best bet. Even modest percentage savings on a lower priced shoe will likely beat the free tote bag that comes with orders over $59, unless you particularly value the bag.
Spending $59 or more on a single item or multiple pieces: Check which offer stacks the highest discount. If you're adding items to reach $59, you'll get a free tote bag, but this is a bonus rather than a money saver. The clearance offer remains strong, and the in-season summer styles deal (up to 50% off) covers more of the range if clearance items don't suit you. Compare the percentage discounts on items in your basket—whichever offer applies to the most of what you're buying will likely give you the largest saving.
Buying two pairs of shoes: The deal on a second pair (50% off when you buy any qualifying pair) becomes interesting if clearance doesn't cover both shoes you want. If you're choosing between a clearance item at 55% off and a second pair at 50% off from other stock, the math favours the clearance shoe, but check your actual basket to be sure. If neither shoe qualifies for clearance, the buy-one-get-50%-off-second option is excellent value.
Looking for specific styles: The women's sandals sale (up to 65% off) is the strongest discount on the page if you're after sandals, and Brooks shoes under $120 provides a straightforward price ceiling if you're shopping that brand. Both are worth checking if they match what you want to buy.
Paying with finance or buying a bundle: No special finance or bundle offers are currently active, so the regular percentage discounts apply.
DSW allows only one offer per order, so when you're at checkout, compare the actual savings across the deals that cover your items and choose the one that cuts the most money from your total.
