    The best trendy sneakers in my closet take me anywhere—like the office or the gym—without missing a beat. But keeping up with the latest styles while sticking to your budget is easier said than done. Thankfully, Nordstrom's Fall Sale has arrived, and with it, there are plenty of sneakers you should pick up that are affordably-priced at less than $250.

    Here's everything you need to know before you start shopping: from now through October 28, Nordstrom is offering up to 50 percent off thousands of finds, including over 600 pairs of sneakers. So whether you're on the hunt for a cool white pair of kicks for every day or need some comfortable sneakers for work, I can practically guarantee you'll find them at a discount. However, there's no need to scroll through the near-endless pages of the retailer's Fall Sale to find your next favorite pair of kicks—I already did the hard work for you.

    Ahead, I rounded up the 21 best sneakers I found in the sale. You'll find a range of styles to suit your taste and needs, from chunky sneakers and slip-ons to everyday black pairs and a few picks from celebrity-favorite sneaker brands like Adidas and Puma. There are even discounted finds that let you tap into the biggest sneaker trends of New York Fashion Week.

    $55 AT NORDSTROM

    Puma sneakers have been having a moment with Dua Lipa, Emily Ratajkowski, and Rihanna having already given their A-list stamp of approval. Steal their look with this pair that offers a subtle pop of neon color.

    Even if you didn't grow up listening to My Chemical Romance and Blink-182, you can still get in on the Vans sneaker trend. Take after Gigi Hadid, Jennifer Lawrence, and Emily Ratajkowski with elevated trousers and maxi dresses.

    Converse Chuck Taylor® All Star® 70 Metallic High Top Sneakers (Were $95)

    Comfortable walking shoes aren't the easiest to come by, but rest assured this pair is just that. They feature a knitted upper and a lightweight padded sole so you won't mind weighing these all day. Every colorway is on sale, so have your pick.

    Wata Ii Low Top Sneaker

    Veja Wata Ii Low Top Sneakers (Were $135)
    $81 AT NORDSTROM

    While these aren't the exact pair, they are pretty similar to the Veja sneakers that Kate Middleton recently wore in an Instagram video. It's not every day you can steal the style of a royal for under $100, so grab them while you still can.

    Medalist Low Sneaker

    Autry Medalist Low Sneakers (Were $195)
    $137 AT NORDSTROM

    From its more colorful options to this all-white pair, Autry's chunky sneakers never miss the mark.

    Rag Bone Retro Runner Slim Sneakers (Were $248)
    $124 AT NORDSTROM

    Slender sneakers like these were all over the streets of New York Fashion Week, so if you want to look like a bona fide fashion girl, add this pair to your cart. An added orthopedic insole ensures all-day comfort, too.

    Adidas Primegreen Stan Smith Sneakers

    Adidas Primegreen Stan Smith Sneakers (Were $100)
    $55 AT NORDSTROM

    Adidas' Stan Smith sneakers are a classic for a reason. With over 4,000 reviews on Nordstrom, they've built a fanbase for their versatile style, comfortable feel, and quality.

    Medalist Low Sneaker

    Autry Medalist Low Sneakers (Were $215)
    $140 AT NORDSTROM

    This black and white pair will pop more with your jeans while still keeping things neutral. The chunky style is the perfect pairing to the season's trending baggy denim silhouettes, too.

    Old Skool Low Top Sneaker

    Vans Old Skool Low Top Sneakers (Were $75)
    $50 AT NORDSTROM

    These skater shoes are as wearable as you could imagine. The all-white colorway means you can wear them with anything.

    Chuck Tayloramp;reg; All Staramp;reg; High Top Sneaker

    Converse Chuck Taylor® All Star® High Top Sneakers (Were $70)

    I can confidently say Converse High Tops will never go out of style. Wear the classic shoes now with trendy cropped jeans to show off the silhouette.

    Medalist Low Sneaker

    Autry Medalist Low Sneakers (Were $185)
    $111 AT NORDSTROM

    Opt for these kicks whenever your outfit is in need of a bit of color. The light blue shade is everywhere right now, so throwing on these sneakers is an easy way to feel more fashion-forward.

    Medalist Washed Low Top Sneaker

    AUTRY Medalist Washed Low Top Sneakers (Were $235)
    $141 AT NORDSTROM

    Suede is a major trend for fall and that applies to footwear, too. Suede accents on the toes and heel give these sneakers a fall 2024 edge, but they feel plenty timeless to wear for years to come.

    Dr. Scholl#039;s Time Off Sneakers

    Dr. Scholl's Time Off Sneakers (Were $100)
    $70 AT NORDSTROM

    These shoes went viral on TikTok over the summer when one user raved about how comfortable they are. Turns out, Nordstrom shoppers agree. One reviewer compared them to "walking on clouds" and wrote, "These Dr Scholl sneakers are as comfy as ANY of my high-end sneakers!"

    Lowland Sneaker

    Vans Lowland Sneakers (Were $90)
    $45 AT NORDSTROM

    Maybe you're working on incorporating more color into your wardrobe, but don't want to dive head-first—I get it. A pair like this offers just a hint of color to your look, so you can at least say you're not wearing all neutrals.

    Toms Kameron Sneakers

    Toms Kameron Sneakers (Were $60)
    $45 AT NORDSTROM

    These aren't the Toms you're used to. This lace-up pair feels like a fresh style you could wear daily.

    Courtside Retro Sneaker

    Stuart Weitzman Courtside Retro Sneakers (Were $350)
    $245 AT NORDSTROM

    You may know Stuart Weitzman's range of A-lister-adored heels, but don't sleep on the brand's sneaker selection. This pair has a neutral silhouette, a comfortable feel, and doesn't come with a break-in period.

    Keds Remi Platform Sneakers

    Keds Remi Platform Sneakers (Were $75)
    $53 AT NORDSTROM

    This pair of Keds is surprisingly chic. The suede finish feels very on-trend for the season, and I love the platform for an added bit of height.
