I've been getting a lot of questions asking about what happens at Tieks on Black Friday. I'm giving you the full scoop about what you can expect from the Tieks Black Friday sale.
Does Tieks have a Black Friday sale?
I know what you're hoping. You're hoping that Tieks will have a discount or coupon code so you can snag a pair of these designer, foldable flats for fraction of the price. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Tieks do not go on sale on Black Friday. Or any other day for that matter. But, they do release a limited edition pair each year.
I began wearing Tieks around 2015 and I was just in time for the Black Friday fun to begin. Starting in 2016, they started releasing a special shoe just for Black Friday weekend. The exclusive pair would go on sale at midnight on Friday and were only available until Monday, while supplies lasted.
What can you expect from Tieks Black Friday?
A few days before, a teaser is often given on social media. This might be on Facebook (on their main page or in the TIeks Anonymous group) or Instagram. It's usually a small hint about the hue.
At midnight EST (it used to be PST since Tieks is based in Beverly Hills, California, but that was a challenge for us East Coasters who set an alarm for 3 AM to buy our shoes) the specialty shoes will go on sale only in the Boutiek. They're usually around $195 since they're usually metallic or patent leather.
On the staging page, there will be a timer counting down until the time of the release. Once midnight EST strikes, the timer will turn into a "shop" button and you can click on it. Since there is usually a large crowd shopping at this time you'll be put into a virtual waiting room and in the queue. Times can range from just a few minutes to over an hour. Do not refresh your browser. Once it's your turn, the page will redirect to the shopping portal where you can purchase your shoes.
The shoes are limited in quantity so once they're gone, they're gone. I believe that Tieks makes fewer of the larger sizes (like 11 and 12) so those may sell out first, but eventually, all sizes usually sell out. Sometimes it happens on Friday so don't delay if you're even considering buying a pair.
Should you buy the Black Friday shoes?
That leads me to my next point. Buy the shoes. If you're on the fence, go ahead and order a pair to see them for yourself and try them on. You can read about the full Tieks experience in my Tieks review. I can't count how many times I've seen a post of regret in the Tieks Facebook group of people who wished they'd purchased the shoes when they had the chance.
If you're in between sizes, it's a good idea to order two sizes to compare since an exchange pair may not be available if the shoes sell out.
The is a limit of 2 pairs per person for the Black Friday release.
