All theMemorial Day salesare in full swing now (as are the not-holiday-specific ones likeNordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale), and there’s no better time to buy a pair of on-sale sandals, whether you’re in the market for some gorp-y Keens or jelly fishermans. This year, I hunted down deals on everything from almost half-off Birkenstocks to under-$20 Havaianas. (It’s like Christmas for deal freaks.) But I say this as the writer behind ourguide to the best sandals: Get going while the going’s good. You won’t find deals like these again until summer is over.
