J.Crew Shoe Sale Online & In Stores {yey!}

"Thanks!" to green_dino (in this post), Emily, Kathy, kitchy7, and others, for letting us know that J.Crew is offering 25% off all women's full-priced shoes and boots with promo code SHOESALE. This offer expires 11/19/08.

J.Crew also sent an email (shown in the image to the right) which states this offer is also available at stores. {yey!}

What is great is that the fine print (in both the email and blurb on the J.Crew website) reads "applies to all women's full-priced shoes and boots".

Are there any items you plan on purchasing with this offer? If so, please let us know! :)

  1. 25% off isn't enough on their expensive and uncomfortable shoes to entice me to buy a pair I wasn't going to buy in the first place. Expensive OR uncomfortable and I would buy a lot, but you can't afford to be both Jcrew!

  2. I've been eyeing the printed calf-hair heels, but probably won't purchase 'cause I'll end up paying $19 in shipping. Can anybody speak to sizing on these?

    ReplyDelete
  3. Did anyone else notice that when you click on this discount on the J. Crew homepage, it takes you to Women's Sweaters? Ha, figures, doesn't it?!

    ReplyDelete
  4. J,
    Yes, I noticed that and was a bit annoyed. Can't JCrew get it together...Please!

    J. (too)

  5. OT I have a Friends & Family coupon for 30% @ Ann Taylor. Good for Nov 20 thru Nov 23. If anyone wants me to forward them an email with the coupon please let me know.

  6. Well, apparently, this code doesn't work on extended-calf boots.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Oh God, don't say that. I'm on the phone w/ J Crew now, because I couldn't get the code to work for me either. She has me on hold, because she can't get it to work either. Ridiculous!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Edit: This is for the extended calf boots too. :(

    ReplyDelete
  9. I will not be purchasing anything with this code, but if it was, it would be the Lulu heels...still lusting after them!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Has anyone bought the Long Glenbrae leather flat boots? Thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Okay, I just got of the phone and she had to manually enter the code, but she got it through for the boots. She owns them and absolutely loves them. I am SOOOO excited and will let you all know how they are when I get them!

    ReplyDelete
  12. DEFINITELY, the Juliet mid-heels! They are the most comfortable J.Crew heels I have. I bought them in the almond but am lusting for the peacock. I also love LuLu heels. My tulip colored LuLus are beautiful and I want more!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I got the Brewster boots in Espresso suede. I love these from last year (got the black leather and they still look awesome even thought I wore them almost everyday in the snow and slush!)

    I am having a terrible time getting pictures of items to show up. I went to the sale section and of the 20 or so blazers only 9 actually came up, all the others had that box with the little x in the corner. Grrrrrr.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Not so excited about this one. Nearest B&M that carries shoes is more than an hour away and they usually don't have many styles.

    And I just can't justify the shipping charges. With the last extra % off, I caved and paid shipping on items that I thought I would for sure keep. Ended up turning half of them because the colors IRL were very different from the web images. Left me disappointed because the returns and shipping changed the economics of the purchase!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Does anyone know if the ling Glenbrae flat boots run true to size? Also what is the camel color like? I remember someone mentioned that the color was flat and dull IRL? ANy information on size color quality etc is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  16. i got the long glenbrae flats in camel and i LOVE LOVE LOVE them! the color isn't *bright* but i didn't expect it to be. the card that comes with the shoes explains that any scuffs or scratches are meant to enhance the leather... the more you wear them the better they look. i agree.

    ReplyDelete
  17. oh and i think they run pretty true to size. i normally wear a 9.5 in shoes and in these i did. but in jcrew leather heels or leather flats i usually have to size down to a 9. hope that helps

    ReplyDelete
  18. The Camel color is not flat or dull. I've seen the color irl, and I plan to get them when they go on sale... maybe with this 25% off! I love the color.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I have the Long Glenbrae leather flat boots and do love them (although I am now mad that I paid full price for them)! The only downside is that they are EXTREMELY narrow everywhere...ankle to calf. I have very small legs and these are even tight on me so it would probably help to try them on in store first. Hope that helps!

    ReplyDelete
  20. anon at 9:58...
    not to disagree with you tara, but i think that it highly depends on what size shoe you wear in the first place. i have pretty muscular legs and calves but since i do wear a larger size, the calf circumference was larger... i did not need extended size at all. they fit snug in the calf just like the other pair of boots i own from jcrew, but they aren't smaller then them.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I don't know...this promotion kindof make me feel resentful toward J.Crew -- other retailers like Neiman Marcus have much better shoe sales right now -- 40% off all sale shoes with free shipping (and free gift wrap!) at any price...some really beautiful shoes and boots on there too!

    ReplyDelete
  22. how comfortable and TTS are the driving mocs? thanks! (esp for someone with a 9/9.5 shoe size, and whose foot is on the wide side)..

    ReplyDelete
  23. Does anyone know if you can still get 25% off if you call from the red phone?

    I can literally walk to my B&M, and I would like to avoid the crazy shipping costs.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Danielle, you'll be able to get the 25% off but they'll still charge you shipping because the item is on sale/promo.

    ReplyDelete
  25. At 40% Neiman Marcus sale prices, they are still making a ton of money on their shoes. If J.CREW offered 40% off, they would be losing money. J.CREW breaks even on profit on handbags, shoes, and coats and that is why they are only offering 25%. You guys have no idea how many corners J.CREW is cutting to keep the prices the same for customers in this rough economy.

    If you think something is too expensive, just wait for the sale- which you all know is inevitable unless the item sells out. As for as shipping, drive to a store and use the red phone for free shipping or get yourself into the store's client book and they will call the red phone for you. If you're a good, loyal customer, J.CREW will do anything for you.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I am finding that shoes are SO hard to describe to each other because they really fit people so differently based on so many factors. I noticed this with regard to reviews on zappos. Some find them TTS, some do not, some have certain complaints while others plain LOVE them. It's so hard to know for sure. I was gathering that many people have gone up 1/2 size in a lot of J Crew shoes (myself included) but then there are people mentioning they always wear a half size smaller. Who knows? There doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason as it is so highly dependent on the particular shoe etc. It would be awesome if they found a uniform size for all their heels, all their flats, even the clothing that is so all over the place~has sizing always been like this?

    ReplyDelete
  27. I placed an order on the red phone last week for a sweater and I got the sweater promo applied, along w/free shipping. I think that items on promo are not considered "sale" items and will be given free shipping. HTH!

    ReplyDelete
  28. anon @ 10:39

    You are correct in that promo items are not considered sale items.

    Only if it ends in .99 it is on sale.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Did anyone ever have this experience? I returned something purchased with a GC (less than the purchased amount) and the remaining amount charged to a CC. They refunded me the whole amount in a GC! Is this their policy as opposed to refunding my CC the amount I paid and issuing a new GC? Sorry if I am not being clear because I am so upset!

    ReplyDelete
  30. anon@10:38. How do you get " in the store's client book" ? I purchase at the store frequently but ususally purchase sale items. They have never approached me about being in their client book. I wonder why stores dislike sale shoppers. I do buy regular price as well. I feel that at least I am buying something, even if it's on sale.

    ReplyDelete
  31. When I red phone-ordered a coat that was on promo last week the CS told me that because it was on promo I would be charged shipping - she waived the charge as a courtesy but warned me that the policy was that promo/sale items would incur a shipping charge. We've discussed this ad nauseum - perhaps it's the luck of the draw.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I agree that 25% off is nothing when you still have to pay their outrageously high shipping! JCrew needs to get with the program and charge flat rate shipping like most other online sites.

    ReplyDelete
  33. "At 40% Neiman Marcus sale prices, they are still making a ton of money on their shoes. If J.CREW offered 40% off, they would be losing money.

    And exactly why is J Crew paying so much to get their shoes and handbags compared to other retailers? If they are losing so much on these items, or just breaking even to offer these items at reasonable prices, I would rethink carrying them at all.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I wonder if we'll ever get a promotion for menswear.

    ReplyDelete
  35. How is it that the Gap manages to incorporate 4 stores into their website and sync with the warehouses, shipping etc when you order various items. Yet JC managed to put my order in twice and charge me twice and now says that they can’t cancel one of them because they do not communicate with their own warehouse. I am told that I will have to return the duplicate items myself. Has this happened to anyone else?

    ReplyDelete
  36. OT, but has anyone here every had any success with J Crew's "we will find it?" I really want to track down one of the Tuesday Trench Coats in charcoal. I called a couple of stores that had it (thanks Stastena!), but they were clueless. One of them had me call the 1-800#, but I feel that this isn't going to work out so well.

    Have any of you seen this item in your local B&M? It does exist.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Anonymous at 11:36am --- If I were you, I would call my credit card, cancel the duplicate charge and explain that the retailer is being very problematic(it is very obviously a duplicate so they will help you...I know AMEX is great with this, I've done it). Once the duplicate charge is removed by your credit vendor, it is up to you to return the item to JCrew or not...I mean you are the one being put to all of this trouble...

    ReplyDelete
  38. anon 11:36 I was told a couple of months ago that they are ways to cancel a parcel ( in special circumstances) you just have to speak to the right person, may I suggest that you call CS and ask to speak to a Manager or supervisor on the floor.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I was thinking about the chalet shearling boots...they look so comfortable, and more refined than Uggs...anyone seen these or own them? They don't come in half sizes, so I'm not sure what size to order...

    I like the chocolate color best.

    Jen

    ReplyDelete
  40. thanks anon 12:00 and 12:04, I will try both!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. There is a way to cancel that order... just cancelled a duplicate last week...Be persistent until you speak to the right person. It can be done!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Jeff,

    You poor guys....you need a sale too:) Hope you get one soon!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I really don't think JC would be losing money by offering 40% off their shoes. Most retail markups are 300-400% the cost of the item. I.e. if it cost $25 to make they'll charge $100 for it. If JC is not doing this they are alone in the retail industry. Anyone in retail/manufacturing, would be interested to hear you weigh in.

    I was looking at the NM sale too--they had a pr of $275 stuart weitzman shoes marked down to $100 and then an add'l 40% off, so they were selling them for $60 and free shipping at any price!

    I want to get the silver cracked metallic heels but will wait for better markdown. 25% off FP and then having to pay shipping and tax is not a very good deal at all.

    ReplyDelete
  44. i saw the men's outerwear on sale in the charlotte store... i was kind of surprised to see a men's sale, but they had it! oh and by sale i mean promo, they weren't in the sale section... it was a promotion

    ReplyDelete
  45. Free shipping on red phone only applies to full priced merchandise. If it's on promo, it is no longer considered FS. I think you'll only get 25% plus free shipping if you happen to come across a nice rep or someone who does not know the policy.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ooops FS should be FP.

    ReplyDelete
  47. kendra...I think the driving mocs are very comfortable after the first couple of wears. I have narrow feett so they rubbed my feet the first few times I wore them so I would imaging they would be more comfortable on a wider foot.
    kitsmommy...I have had luck with "we'll find it." They tracked down a pair of the coral cords for me in about a day.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I had good luck with we'll find it, too. They found a sweater for me when they were 20% off and didn't charge for shipping. It shipped about 48 hours after I requested it.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I've had a hit or miss experience with the 'we will find it.' Sometimes the package arrives on my doorstep, and sometimes I get an email at lightening speed saying they had no luck.

    Working with a PS on a consistent basis is probably the best way to get into a B&M's client book.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Sometimes the We will find it says they haven't found it and it shows up anyway...LOL. So reliable, that J.crew!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Not purchasing any shoes. The discount is not nearly enough. I have yet to find a pair at jc that were comfortable. I am also questioning their quality. I noticed that some shoes are stamped made in italy but the soles are clearly not leather. Not sure what to make of that.

    ReplyDelete
  52. the only pair that i really want right now are the ones that are 450! yikes! there really are no other ones that i would purchase.... and at 350, the ones i want are still sadly out of reach!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Just got my Alpaca shawl-collar cardigan in heather moss and put it on. I love it! It's super soft and fits TTS. Sleeves were a little long but I always have that problem. I just folded them back and it looks great. Perfect for layering. I would highly recommend this sweater. Came beautifully packaged as well.

    ReplyDelete
  54. If I paid $450 for a pair of shoes, I would definitely try to learn to walk on my hands....

    ReplyDelete
  55. Yes, I have done a "we will find it" and it immediately come back to say they didn't find any, and then the next morning it be available on the website again

    ReplyDelete
  56. sooner-girl: thanks for the help!

    Would you size up or down for the driving mocs, as they are only whole sizes?

    I am a 9/9.5, but I want to wear them with thin/med weight socks and have wide feet. Thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Kendra...I am a 8-8.5 and I bought an 8 in my driving mocs.

    ReplyDelete
  58. sooner-girl: do you wear them with socks? TIA for all of your help : )

    ReplyDelete
  59. The lulu shoes were on sale for more than 20% off at the retail stores. Even factoring shipping it's cheaper to do a send-sale.

  60. kendra...I don't wear mine with socks.

  66. Amy- I have the Lulu metallic peep toes and adore them. I paid full price and I have to say that they're worth every penny. They're super comfy (even on my finicky feet) and just darling. I love them!

  67. I would love to purchase the Jane cracked metallic flats. Not sure whether to size up or down though....

    ReplyDelete
  68. I tried on the Glenbrae high heeled boots at a store just for foot sizing. I expected I'd need the extended calf sizing. I think I'm pretty average - a size 8 in clothing, but my calves have always been a little thicker than average, but I'd never tried JCrew shoes or boots so I tried a size 9 in the Glenbrae. I'm usually an 8.5 in shoes and go a little bigger in boots. I couldn't even ALMOST get the Glenbraes on! My foot wouldn't clear the ankle bend in the boot at all. It was really ridiculous (and embarassing). The SA said that J.Crew's boots usually run narrow and she'd noticed that the Glenbraes were running REALLY narrow. I was really disappointed. They didn't have the extended calf sizes in store to try. They're beautiful boots, but I didn't want to pay the s&h and return s&h to try several sizes if none would really fit. I didn't want to have to order a size 10 boot just to get them on & have my feet banging around inside. Oh well. :(

    ReplyDelete
  69. Hope you don't mind me posting off topic, but I went to the J.Crew factory store in Vacaville, CA today and wanted to share what I found. There were lots of items from last winter, so if you missed out on something, it might be at your local factory store. Outerwear was 30% off. I don’t know if this included all outerwear or just select items. I saw pea coats, double cloth tulip coats, plaza coats, and the Tabitha coat, which is a ¾ length coat, but with a tab waist. I didn’t get the prices on these coats. There was a good selection of the tweed Bella blazers in pink, grey, camel, and black for $178, these were also tagged 30% off. I also saw some velvet Bella blazers in the clearance section for $78. Herringbone Fiona jackets were $129 plus an additional 30% off. Jackie cardigans were about $44 plus 50% off. Printed cardis were $50 each. I picked up the zebra striped cardi. There was a large display of the crest tees for about $33 each, plus an additional 30% off. I bought the grey crest tee with the lion logo in wool flannel and the black crest tee with the lion logo in black sequins. Cashmere cardigans and long sleeve crewneck tees were $125, plus 30% off. The color selection was okay. I saw black, navy, grey, and orange-red I think it’s called poppy red. Overall, a pretty good selection on this trip to the factory store. Many times, there is a “special” line for the factory store of awful stuff that looks nothing like J.Crew. I don’t know how long the items I mentioned are on sale. Some of the items were priced above what they were in the store a year ago, so the discount wasn’t that great. Some stuff was lower than what it was in store. They are also having a special sale on Thanksgiving. Starting at 10 pm, 30-50% off select styles, and all clearance items are an additional 50% off. Hope this helps some!

  70. that's weird because the i have very muscular legs and the glenbrae was fine. you do have to unzip the part near the ankle for them to get on though!

    ReplyDelete
  71. has anyone tried the "alessia patent leather mary jane heels"? I want the black ones so bad but am worried that they won't be confortable b/c of the heel

    ReplyDelete
  72. Completely OT (sorry I never know where to "insert" these OT questions) - does anyone own the cashmere femme sweater, and if so, how does it fit? Is it cute on? I figured for $89, how can I go wrong!

    ReplyDelete
  73. I have a couple of the cashmere femme sweaters from last year and this year. They're all a bit binding right under the bustline, and then they flare out ever-so-slightly, almost like a babydoll top but not quite. I find the look very flattering.

  74. anonymous at 5:13::

    Does the after-10pm sale refer to online or at the outlet? My nearest outlet closes at 9, i believe..Is this their Black Fri sale??

    Thanks!

  78. jeff, there are a lot of men's promos in store. i was at my b&m this weekend- cotton cashmere crews for $39.50, argyle half zips $20 off ($59.50), ties for $29.50 plus all sweaters not on sale were 20% off

    ReplyDelete
  79. OT -

    So - does anyone ever return an unworn, NWT item they bought more than 7 days ago, and re-purchase the same to get a sale price if they refuse to give you the price adjustment? Normally I wouldn't bother if it was 1 thing - but I have the following NWT items that would bring in $265 price adjustments if they would allow it:

    -2 taffeta a-lines at $138, now $80
    -Cashmere v-neck with bow at $168, now $119.99
    -Small Oslo at $295, now $199

    Do they track that kind of stuff and figure out a way to deny it? Is it tacky to do that (do I care)?? Not sure what to do - but I could get my Lady Day Coat with that savings!

    lucegirl

    ReplyDelete
  80. ANON@ 6:39. I absolutely would repurchase then return the original. I do that if they refuse an adjustment, especially if I just bought it. They most likely track all of your purchases but so what. I don't believe that it is illegal.

    ReplyDelete
  81. OT: If anyone has little girls I just received a free shipping coupon code from Americal Girl "giftship" no min!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  82. lucegirl, I don't know why you're even hesitating - do it. $265 is an armful of money. Like the other poster said, it's not illegal, and they can't do anything to you for doing it.

  90. My sales associate told me that there will be a 20% off for cardholders begining on 12/5th. I think he said it went through the 11th or 12th of Dec. Hope that helps.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Hmmm .. don't know why this code shouldn't be for men's as well, seems rather unfair to me ;)

    ReplyDelete
  92. JCrewGuy: Thanks for the headsup, but that promotion has been going on at the Rockefeller store for a month already. They're trying really hard to rid of those sweaters. I've already bought my fair share of sweaters this winter anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I wish JCrew would put better taps on the heels of their boots. I just wore a new pair today and I feel like they already need to go to the cobbler. Why do they seem to stop short on really good quality on so many items like taps, buttons, hems etc. Sigh, I'd gladly pay full price if they would just take quality to the next level.

  94. Anon@5:13 re: vacaville factory store

    Thanks for scoping out the factory store for us! This one is really close to where we are going for Thanksgiving so I was planning on checking it out while there and its great to know in advance what their carrying!

    ReplyDelete
  95. I got the long flat glenbrae boots in camel, I've been stalking them for a while and figured I should snap them up as most stores I have been too have been sold out of my size. Not happy about having to pay shipping but I can't get to a store for the red phone before this sale ends. I tried them on in the store (well one anyway as they only had one boot in my size) and it did fit somewhat narrow, I am not sure I can tuck jeans into them. The color is great IMO. I'm a big fan of jcrew boots, they wear really well and I find them to be great quality and very comfortable.

    ReplyDelete
  96. kendra ,I think this is their Black Friday sale. The postcard they gave me referred me to the website http://www.jcrew.com/help/holidayHours.jsp The SA said the store opened at 10 pm, but the JC website says midnight. The sale appears to just be in the stores. They didn't mention anything about a sale online.

    anonymouse at 6:15 PM , I didn't check the prices on the tulip coats. They were an apple green color. You might want to call your local factory store to find out the prices.

    P.S. for factory store shoppers, make sure and sign up at premiumoutlets.com. They occasionally have a J.Crew factory store coupon. It's usually 10-20% off a purchase of $150 or more. HTHS.

  100. I need help! I lost my favorite J.Crew headband and I didn't know if anyone on this site would be willing to sell theirs to me. It is a silk headband that is navy and has a strawberry and daisy pattern. I am completely distraught that I've lost it and I'll pay whatever it takes to get it back! contact me at brades33@gmail.com

  101. I thought the Juliet mid-heels ran small! I'd order a half size up in these.

    Does anyone know how the (yes, I know, not OT) Penelope heels fit? I tried on the flats at the store, and they ran large. . .

  102. lucegirl: I do that ALL THE TIME! I even tell the JC employees what I plan on doing (aka: "I'll buy this but just keep the tags on in case it goes on sale before I wear it!") Most of the younger and/ or nicer associates totally understand and also realize that any of the "savings" I get I will just re-spend at their store! I would 100% do it! I returned a Tulip coat for store credit (it was past 60 days) and got it online for about half what I paid for it just recently! With the way the economy is right now, IMO, they should be happy to accommodate your request! :)

    I sized up 1/2 size in penelope maryjane heels (and same in the juliet) if that helps..I think gigi did too if I remember correctly. Anyone else sz up in the penelope maryjane heel? These are actually comfortable BTW;)

  104. The Juliet heels fit me perfectly -- sizing up a half-size would have left my feet flopping about.

  105. One thing I don't like about the J.Crew flats is that they're not long enough to cover my toes. They're so cute, but I don't like seeing toe cleavage when I wear shoes. And that is why I don't buy J.Crew flats. :) I have never heard anyone else mention this problem, though.

  106. I had to size up in the Juliets, as well. Seems to be the case for me with JCrew, esp. patent leather (normally a 9 1/2).

  107. After a long debate over whether or not to purchase the Alessia patent-leather peep-toes, which I felt were steep at $215 even with the 25% discount, I decided I just had to have them. Much to my surprise (and delight!) they came up as only $150 online (before the discount). Did anybody else notice this? I might not have hesitated so much about buying them if there hadn't been this 65-dollar typo.

  108. Can someone post if they see or have seen the Juliet Safari heels or Claudia Crackle heels/pumps in stores? I'm trying to stalk them until they go on sale...

  109. Tracy, I noticed this the other day - the Gayle heels also changed in price from $250 to $175, and the printed calf-hair heels from $328 to $250. Congrats on the Alessias - what color did you get?

  110. ^WOW-great catch! If anyone wants these--they should snag! They are listed $328 in the catalog (which IMO is absurd)!

  111. I went with the Bright Spearmint - can't wait to receive them! Will let you know how they turn out when I do.

  112. covert, I had my PS nab them for me from the red phone - with the 25%, then 15% student discount they were $159! Can't wait to receive them. :)
