Here at LFTO, we track the best Black Friday deals on everything outdoors. Black Friday 2023 has passed, but file us away in a bookmark folder and be the first to know when walking boot deals go live for Black Friday 2024.
These boots were made for walking, but they're sold at a huge markup most of the year. Nonetheless, proper footwear is absolutely essential if you're looking to get into the outdoors.
The best walking boots are protective, durable, and most importantly – comfortable to wear. If you want to have it all, you'll usually have to break the bank, but the investment tends to be worth it since great boots can last a lifetime.
So, this Black Friday, snag yourself a high-end pair of boots for a fraction of the price and, if you take good care of them, watch those savings pay dividends for years to come.

Our top tips for coping with Black Friday:
Sign up for newsletters and updates
They might clog up your inbox for the rest of the year, but you’ll find that newsletters will bring you discounts and alerts about bargains before anything else.
You can also sign up to the LFTO Newsletter, where we'll keep you to date with our 'best of' articles and Black Friday deals.
Stick to your budget
You might be tempted into all and every deal that you see on Black Friday, but set a budget and stick to it. Experts also say that you should use a credit card (it’s the safest way to pay, as the bank will end up footing the bill if there is any kind of mishap).
Stick around afterwards...
Previously, waiting until Black Friday was one of the best strategies for saving money on big-ticket items, but recent years have taught us that many of the biggest online sales will come under the 'Cyber Monday' banner, which can last until the end of November. So, always keep your eyes peeled, the bargain hunt isn't quite over yet.
