Black Friday is always a busy time in the welted shoe world, let alone all of retail, but this year’s Black Friday 2025 shoe deals are shaping up to be some of the best yet! In part, because my new webshop, The Shoe Snob, is hosting some very exclusive deals not seen before. We’re talking exclusive brand-wide discounts, rare hand-welted options, and sample shoes priced so attractively that even I have to double-check the math 😉
Exclusive Bridlen Black Friday Deals — Only Here
Let’s start with something special: Bridlen’s Black Friday 2025 discount is exclusive to The Shoe Snob Shop.
They aren’t offering it anywhere else. Not on their site. Not in-store. Not through any other retailer. As Bridlen’s exclusive US Partner, this deal is only found here. And shipping is available worldwide!
If you’ve ever wanted to experience Bridlen’s Goodyear-welted craftsmanship, now is the time to do it. Their shoes offer impeccable value for the price already, and getting a discount on top is nearly highway robbery, so don’t miss your chance to test out the highly sought-after new maker.
Discount: Buy 1, Get 10% off or Buy 2, Get 20% off
Timeframe: Through Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025
Type of discount: Automatic, discounts trigger at the cart

Blkbrd Shoemaker — Rare Discounts on Hand-Welted Craftsmanship
Next up: Blkbrd, another rising star of Indian shoemaking and one of the most exciting young makers in the industry.
Blkbrd almost never discounts, as their pricing is lower than one can even imagine, at full price! With prices starting at $195, you can get them as low as $166 when adding two pairs to your cart. That is two welted shoes for just over $300! It doesn’t get much better.
During these Black Friday 2025 shoe deals, many of their best-selling styles drop well below their typical value tier, making it the perfect time to try something outside the traditional boundaries of classic footwear.
Excludes: Seamless, Spiral, and Cordovan models
Discount: Buy 1, Get 10% off or Buy 2, Get 15% off
Timeframe: Through Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025
Type of discount: Automatic, discounts trigger at the cart

The Shoe Snob Products — Samples, J.FitzPatrick, Pre-Worn Shoes and Clothing, and More!
The Shoe Snob products on offer are a compilation of products that I own, whether brand new one-off samples, shoes I made and never wore, lightly worn shoes and clothing, and shoes that brands sent me for unboxing videos. There are also a decent number of J.FitzPatrick odds and ends shoes that come in multiple sizes. The Black Friday 2025 shoe deals on The Shoe Snob products can get you prices you won’t ever see anywhere if you happen to be the right size!
These pairs are typically:
- One-offs
- Early prototypes
- Color experiments
- Slightly cosmetically imperfect pairs
- Discontinued models
- Rare leathers that didn’t make it into full production
- Lightly worn clothing that I no longer desire or fit (40’s hit different!)
Most of these products are already around 50% off full retail price, before the Black Friday discount even applies. Many of these styles will never be made again, and the sizing is extremely limited. When they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
If you’ve ever wanted something unique—something no one else has—this is the section to explore.
Excludes: Accessories, which are all discounted anyway
Discount: Buy 1, Get 10% off or Buy 2, Get 20% off
Timeframe: Through Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025
Type of discount: Automatic, discounts trigger at the cart

Exclusive Sock Deal Not Found Elsewhere
Another, separate promotion is the high-quality sock deal that I am offering with Twinkima.G, of China. I recently wrote about this, so if you missed it, find it at the link below – it’s technically a Black Friday deal, but found elsewhere on my site.

Final Thoughts — Don’t Wait Too Long on these Black Friday 2025 shoe deals
A quick reality check:
- The Bridlen discounts are exclusive and won’t be repeated anytime soon.
- Blkbrd’s deals are the best in the industry; nowhere else can you get two welted shoes for $332.
- Sample shoes disappear immediately, and replacements do not exist.
If something catches your eye—or your size is available—trust your gut. Every Black Friday, I get emails the following week from people regretting not acting sooner. Don’t be that guy this year.
