Based on last year’s event and their usual holiday patterns, we’ve pulled together all the important details for Rack Room Shoes’ upcoming Black Friday 2025 sale.
Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates & Timing
Rack Room Shoes is expected to start its Black Friday 2025 sale on Tuesday, November 25, 2025 both in-stores and at rackroomshoes.com. That is two days before Thanksgiving.
The event is likely to run through Saturday, November 29, 2025, or until supplies run out. In past years, popular sizes and styles have sold out quickly, especially sneakers and casual everyday shoes. Since the event begins early, checking the deals online or visiting in-store as soon as the sale kicks off is usually the best way to secure what you want.
Discounts to Expect
Rack Room Shoes usually offers a mix of percentage-based discounts, coupons, and their well-known Buy One, Get One 50% Off (BOGO) promotion. For 2025, the main offers are expected to include:
-
$15 off orders of $99 or more.
-
$30 off orders of $149 or more.
-
Up to 30% off select footwear brands.
-
BOGO 50% off select styles.
These promotions often run at the same time, but keep in mind that coupon discounts cannot always be stacked with BOGO deals. Shoppers typically need to choose which offer gives the better value based on what they are buying.
Coupon Offer Details
The $15 off $99 and $30 off $149 coupons are likely to return in 2025. These offers usually apply in-store and online, but only one coupon can be used per transaction. In past years, the coupons came with several restrictions.
For example, last year the coupon could not be combined with the BOGO free offer, gift card purchases, or certain brands. It was also limited to one use per customer and was not redeemable for cash. However, it could be combined with earned Rack Room Rewards, which gave regular customers a way to maximize savings.
If Rack Room follows the same rules in 2025, you will want to look carefully at the fine print before applying the coupon.
BOGO 50% Off Promotion
The Buy One, Get One 50% Off deal has become a signature Rack Room Shoes offer during Black Friday. It typically covers a wide range of footwear styles, though not all brands are included.
Here’s how it works: when you buy one pair at regular price, you can get a second pair of equal or lesser value for half off. Accessories and apparel are usually excluded. In addition, many of the most popular athletic and lifestyle brands are left out of the BOGO deal. That includes Nike, Adidas, Converse, Crocs, Hey Dude, New Balance, Puma, Skechers, Timberland, and several others.
Even with the exclusions, the BOGO promotion still applies to plenty of styles across casual, dress, and seasonal categories. If you are shopping for families or need multiple pairs, this deal can be one of the most cost-effective ways to shop.
Example Deals from Last Year
Looking back at Black Friday 2024 gives a good idea of what might return this year. Some of the deals from last year included:
-
Select Nike running shoes around 25% off
-
Adidas casual sneakers at up to 30% off
-
Crocs clogs and sandals with 20% to 25% off in certain colors
-

Kids’ shoes included in BOGO 50% off, covering many back-to-school and everyday sneaker options
Rewards Program and Extra Savings
Rack Room Shoes has a Rack Room Rewards loyalty program that allows customers to earn points with purchases. During Black Friday, rewards can usually be combined with some promotions, though exclusions apply.
In past years, coupons such as the $15 off $99 were stackable with rewards but not with other discounts like BOGO Free. If you are a member of the program, this can give you an extra edge, especially if you already have points ready to redeem.
Exclusions to Watch
One of the key things to know about Rack Room Shoes’ Black Friday deals is that many of the best-known athletic brands are excluded from coupons and BOGO promotions. Last year, the list of exclusions included:
-
Adidas
-
Asics
-
Birkenstock
-
Brooks
-
Converse
-
Crocs
-
Dr. Martens
-
Hey Dude
-
Hunter
-
KEEN
-
Merrell
-
New Balance
