Best Value Footwear Staples to Stock Up on During the Sale

The footwear staples worth buying in a sale are the pairs you wear several times a week: a knit sneaker, a slip-on or loafer, and a cushioned slipper for home. These give you the most wear for the money, so they are the ones to pick up when the discount is on. The Great Comfort Sale starts on 8 October with up to 65% off. Skip pairs that only do one job on a few days of the year. The Great Comfort Sale page has the range.

What counts as a staple

A staple is a pair you reach for without thinking. It goes with most of your clothes, feels comfortable all day and holds up to regular wear. Think of it as the footwear equivalent of a plain white shirt. Everything else in your set is built around these pairs.

Knit sneakers

Your most-worn pair deserves the most attention. A knit sneaker with a breathable upper, cushioned insoles and slip-resistant soles covers commutes, errands and weekends. White or black goes with the most outfits. See the white sneakers for the clean option.

A slip-on or loafer

Laceless shoes save time every day. A knit loafer or slip-on works for the office, family meals and travel. The ReLive Knit Loafers need no break-in. The slip-ons for men page lists laceless styles.

Cushioned slippers

It is easy to overlook the pair you wear most at home. A cushioned slipper with a soft footbed and a grippy sole is used every evening. If you spend long hours on your feet, arch support styles are worth a look. See the slippers collection.

One pair for warm days

If you live somewhere warm, a cork or cross strap sandal belongs in your staples too. Adjustable straps and a cushioned footbed make it a daily-wear pair, and the cork footbed moulds to your foot with wear.

What is worth buying in bulk?

There is little point buying many of the same pair. Two pairs of the same everyday sneaker lets you rotate and extend the life of both, but more than two is rarely needed. Buy different staples, not duplicates.

What to skip

Skip anything that does the same job as a pair you already own. Skip pairs that look good on the page but do not suit your routine. And skip anything you are not sure about the size of, since you may not wear it.

How to get value

Check the offer on each product page, since the discount goes up to 65% and varies by style. Confirm your size using the size guide. Delivery is free across India, and the 7-day exchange for a different size or colour helps if the fit is off. It currently offers exchanges only, not refunds. The casual shoes for men page is a good place to compare everyday pairs.
