*Hot!* Famous Footwear: $10 off $10 in stores only — updated

by Crystal on July 10, 2010

Famous Footwear has a really hot coupon available for $10 off any purchase of $10 or more.

To get your coupon, you need to click on the “Like” button on the Famous Footwear Facebook page and use the coupon by Monday, July 12, 2010.

Originally, you could use the coupon online. Now they’ve changed it so you can only use it in-store. However, I’m pretty confident you could find something for free or almost-free on clearance. If you don’t need shoes, you could use this to purchase socks!

Thanks, Minnesota Coupon Adventure!

Julia @ The Frugal Find July 10, 2010 at 11:34 pm

Hey Crystal, this coupon code is not valid on sale items :( I tried it and it said “One or more discounts no longer apply.”

So the $9.99 pair of sandals I chose that was originally $19.99 was still $9.99 after the coupon code.

Crystal July 10, 2010 at 11:36 pm

Your total must be $10 for the discount to apply. It has been confirmed to work on discounted items.

Julia @ The Frugal Find July 10, 2010 at 11:36 pm

Actually it looks like it does work with sale items, just not the ones that would make it free…

Priscilla July 10, 2010 at 11:44 pm

You have to spend $10, before the coupon. Don’t forget to try going through a cashback program. check ‘em out at http://www.evreward.com

Carrie July 11, 2010 at 2:33 am

@Priscilla, Thanks for the reminder about going through a cashback site! I had totally forgotten about ebates and they have 9% cash back for Famous Footwear.

Rose July 10, 2010 at 11:45 pm

I am trying to get 11 green bags ($.99 each) and it is not taking $10 of my order, it still says $10.89. Any suggestions?

Mariah July 10, 2010 at 11:46 pm

yay!!!!! it worked!!! I think anyone getting free shoes through the website will be the same ones, since they only have 2 shoes for $10, blue or pink patterns. I got pink, because I’m a size 6, but I really wanted the blue!!! oh, so FUN…thanks for the heads up!!!!

Rose July 10, 2010 at 11:59 pm

Nevermind, I got it to work. Even though it said I had applied the code before, I had to apply it again to get it to work (after my order totalled over $10). Changed my mind and got the cute polka-dot flip-flops and one green bag. Thanks so much!

Nikki July 11, 2010 at 2:15 am

@Rose,

Rose, I am trying to order the same thing you did but I get the message “We’re sorry, the promo code you entered cannot be found in our records. If you believe the code is valid, please check the spelling and re-enter it.” How did you get it to work?

Adena July 11, 2010 at 12:01 am

I clicked Like, but nothing happened.

Wendy July 11, 2010 at 12:06 am

Seems like their site is down right now – I’m afraid to hit refresh and get charged for multiple orders, but it sure would be nice to have one go through!

Pam July 11, 2010 at 12:07 am

I tried to place an order but it says Ground shipping – $4.50 (FREE to Rewards Gold members who log in to check out) Is free shipping only for GOLD rewards members?

Priscilla July 11, 2010 at 12:40 am

Pam, continue with your order….when you get to the finalize page, you’ll see that the shipping is free

MrsS July 11, 2010 at 12:09 am

It told me $4.50 for shipping to, but just continue to billing and you’ll see it’s free shipping. I paid $1.06 shipped for a pair of slippers and a reusable bag!

meghan July 11, 2010 at 12:16 am

Pam: I chose that Ground shipping option and it was free shipping when I finished checkout

sadina July 11, 2010 at 12:17 am

I just got a pair completely free…..it was the blue flats by carlos santana… i signed up to be a rewards member liked them on facebook and my total was 10 and after the coupon my total was 0. I did not have to put in any billing information.Thanks!

harin July 11, 2010 at 12:22 am

i got 6pk socks for 9.99 and added green bag for .99 as a filler… after coupon paid $1.08 with taxes.. great deal

Jessica July 11, 2010 at 12:25 am

Thank you so much for sharing. I stocked up on socks for the kids.

Stephanie July 11, 2010 at 12:29 am

just got a $35 dollar pair of much needed shoes for my little girl for $5.41 after taxes!! They were on sale to start and the coupon took $10 off then free shipping :) No driving either!

Wendy July 11, 2010 at 12:50 am

I don’t want to celebrate too much yet – even though it looks like my order went through (and I wrote down my confirmation number), the site said they’d send a confirmation email and I haven’t gotten one yet. I’m afraid this may turn out to be one of those “oops, we didn’t mean it, we’re out of stock of everything everyone ordered” things :-\

Katie July 11, 2010 at 1:01 am

I have gotten one confirmation email. However, two of the three transactions I did have cleared my bank account. I’m not getting my hopes up either, but I know I’m at least getting 1 pair of Teva Flip Flops for myself!! Hoping I get the other two pairs of shoes I wanted for the kiddos :)

Pam July 11, 2010 at 1:14 am

OH, duh. Thanks VERY much . It worked! WOW!

Mandy July 11, 2010 at 1:47 am

I’m having a problem =( I picked out a super cute pair of shoes for my daughter (on sale for $19.99) and I can’t get the code to take the $10 off. I’ve tried it at the beginning of checkout and at the end right before the order is placed.

Any suggestions? Am I just technologically illiterate?

Heidi July 11, 2010 at 1:58 am

It’s not working for me on sale either I chose shoes priced @ 14.99 and it will not give the extra $10 off just free shipping =(

Molly July 11, 2010 at 2:00 am

It doesn’t work for me. It says that it applied it, and gave me free shipping, but didn’t actually take $10 off – my total is significant ($10+). Glad it worked for others.

Zoe July 11, 2010 at 2:09 am

Not working for me either. When I entered the code, it said “We’re sorry, the promo code you entered cannot be found in our records.” Darn!

heather harris July 11, 2010 at 2:10 am

i keep getting the messge that the promo code isn’t working….:(

Amanda July 11, 2010 at 2:22 am

I tried to purchase my items but then I realized that ground shipping is not available to Hawaii or Alaska :( I have decided to print out the coupon and go to the store tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up!!!

Beverly July 11, 2010 at 2:23 am

I don’t think the code works anymore. I picked a 19.99 shoe and I got this message. “We’re sorry, the promo code you entered cannot be found in our records. If you believe the code is valid, please check the spelling and re-enter it.” I know I typed in the FB710 code correctly. Maybe they realized that they are paying people to buy shoes.

Jennifer Z. July 11, 2010 at 2:30 am

first i got free shipping but not 10 dollars off then it doesnt work anymore

Amber July 11, 2010 at 4:51 am

I get this message “We’re sorry, the promo code you entered cannot be found in our records. If you believe the code is valid, please check the spelling and re-enter it.” :(

Joyce July 11, 2010 at 5:30 am

Not working for me either, says code not found.

denise July 11, 2010 at 5:51 am

Code not working for me either!

Mary July 11, 2010 at 5:59 am

Code also will not work for me :(

Mikki L July 11, 2010 at 6:00 am

My order is $13 and it is saying the code is invalid :-(

Kathy July 11, 2010 at 6:24 am

Code not working for me either.

Stephanie P July 11, 2010 at 6:24 am

Code doesn’t work for me either…even after going to FB and getting the legit coupon. Maybe I’ll try in the store today…

anita July 11, 2010 at 6:29 am

not working :(

Kristy July 11, 2010 at 6:32 am

Not working for me either.

Erin July 11, 2010 at 6:33 am

I cant get it to work online either and my shoes are $19.99 – on a side note SHOP AT HOME has Famous Footwear as their deal of the day today – 31% Cash Back!!

Emilie July 11, 2010 at 6:49 am

Shoot! Not working for me either. I hope someone figures it out! :)

April July 11, 2010 at 6:49 am

NOT working for me either….huge bummer.

Kristy July 11, 2010 at 6:51 am

This was just posted on Facebook by Famous Footwear…
Fans! We are so sorry about the offer code. The code was hacked and automatically disabled. We are taking down the offer but will make it up to you. Please give us a little bit of time and we will make it right. We apologize to everyone that spent time trying to redeem the code for a great deal. So very sorry!

Emilie July 11, 2010 at 6:52 am

Just posted on their Facebook page: “Fans! We are so sorry about the offer code. The code was hacked and automatically disabled. We are taking down the offer but will make it up to you.

Emilie July 11, 2010 at 6:52 am

You beat me, Kristy! :)

Beth July 11, 2010 at 6:53 am

Code not found, and the office is closed on Sunday. I can’t get thru to fix it.
Beth

kevin July 11, 2010 at 6:53 am

The code was apparently hacked and they had to disable it for the time being. This was just posted by Famous Footwear on their Facebook page a few minutes ago. They say that it will take until tomorrow to straighten it out, but they will put up some type of new offer to make up for it.

Megan July 11, 2010 at 7:05 am

Bummer! Hope they extend the offer for a couple of days after they fix it – this is great to get socks for my daughter’s new school year!

Whitney July 11, 2010 at 7:15 am

Grrrr… what are the odds they’ll still have the cute pair of shoes I wanted today (in my size) once they fix this? :( I was so excited about the deal I was going to get!

tina dsilva July 11, 2010 at 7:27 am

The wordings on this coupons says that you can use them at the store also & not just online. I might just go to the famous footwear store in my block.

Lee July 11, 2010 at 7:28 am

I am going to the store today…I think I will have better luck finding shoes anyway!

Rebecca July 11, 2010 at 7:40 am

The coupons is now available for in-store purchases only. That’s what happens when people abuse a deal. I really can’t blame them.

Nikki July 11, 2010 at 7:51 am

This offer is no longer available online…only in stores according to the Facebook Fan page.

ann July 11, 2010 at 7:53 am

I’ll be heading to the store today..Great Coupon :) Thanks Crystal!

Mary July 11, 2010 at 7:54 am

They changed the offer. It’s now only available IN STORE.

Lindsey July 11, 2010 at 8:03 am

I just “Liked” them on facebook and was given a coupon, but it says it can only be used in stores and not online. There’s not a store near me, so I guess I’m out of luck :(

Stephanie July 11, 2010 at 8:12 am

I ordered last night (men’s socks for $10.99) and I did get the confirm email, so I think I am good….I hope!

Kelly July 11, 2010 at 8:23 am

Looks like they changed it so the code does NOT work online now. GRRRR…hacked, yeah right…they probably just freaked out when everyone went to use it online. It looks like they just cut out (photoshop?) the part about using it online too. Oh well…

Jaclyn July 11, 2010 at 8:23 am

Now it says in store only :( Don’t have one near me.

Oh, well. Looking forward to new coupons today!

Kristin July 11, 2010 at 8:24 am

Coupon was reposted said good only in stores

Claire at Saving Money Plan July 11, 2010 at 8:25 am

I didn’t even get a code sent to me — it makes sense if it was already hacked though!

emma July 11, 2010 at 8:41 am

Wonder if they will fufill the orders that went through. Did get the confirmation email…

Michelle July 11, 2010 at 8:43 am

I went to their FB page to like them, but the coupon says that it can only be used in stores. ?? Did something change? It’s not giving me a coupon code to use online. Help?

Tiffany Higginson July 11, 2010 at 9:00 am

My offer is in stores only :(

See below for your “Exclusive-thanks for Liking” us OFFER. Redeemable only in stores.

sunny July 11, 2010 at 9:01 am

they reposted offer but it’s now good only in stores

Dee July 11, 2010 at 9:03 am

Hacked? Yeah right. They just wanted a chance to change the coupon to in store only.

BB July 11, 2010 at 9:05 am

sucks!!!

Dee July 11, 2010 at 9:07 am

Hacked? Yeah right. They just wanted a chance to change the coupon to in store only. They could have at least been truthful.

Donna July 11, 2010 at 9:19 am

Apparently it’s been changed and the coupon is now for ‘in-store’ only. They say on their Facebook page to check back on Monday. They will do something for people that want to order online.

Elizabeth July 11, 2010 at 9:29 am

In store only. BOO!!! Not good for me.

Beth July 11, 2010 at 9:50 am

I used it last night, and got a confirmation email this morning that it went through (yeh!) – I did see on Facebook that the orders that went through before they fixed the problem are going to be filled, so hopefully they will stick to that. I see now the crocs I bought for my son are now sold out, so hopefully I will get them!

bobbi jo st germain July 11, 2010 at 10:18 am

I just tried to use it and then realized on facebook they had posted that they had changed the coupon code to a coupon only to be used in the store and not online. Bummer!

Jen T July 11, 2010 at 10:36 am

Ugh so disappointed. =( My older baby needs new tennis shoes and I had them in the cart with the code last night. If I bought them I would have been fine, but I wanted to ask daddy if I could use his card. =( No more code now. Have to figure something else out. =(

Maribeth July 11, 2010 at 10:47 am

The coupon that I’m getting is for “in store only”….am I missing the one that’s good for online?

Andrea July 11, 2010 at 11:15 am

i ordered lastnight and have no recieved a eamil saying it was can. so I hope it did go through.

If not I guess I will be heading to the 1 store in town

Cristina July 11, 2010 at 11:22 am

I added more than $10 to my cart and when I put the code in it says “We’re sorry, the promo code you entered cannot be found in our records. If you believe the code is valid, please check the spelling and re-enter it.” The code is FB710 right??

Cristina July 11, 2010 at 11:24 am

@Cristina, Nevermind, I just read all the recent posts and found the answer :)

Lisa July 11, 2010 at 12:51 pm

The coupon states its good in-store only – what am I missing?

Rae July 11, 2010 at 2:08 pm

@Lisa, It used to be good online too but they took it off and put it back up but only valid instores

Alissa July 11, 2010 at 1:38 pm

i just went to the store where they’re having a buy 1, get one 1/2 off, including clearance. i got a pair of $35 toddler sketchers for my daughter, a pair of $50 sketchers for myself and 6 pairs of puma socks (normally $16) for…….53 cents!!!! she said i was the deal of the day. a-mazing!

Cilicia July 12, 2010 at 1:26 pm

@Alissa, How did you do that???!??? did you use more then just the $10 off coupon???

Julie H July 11, 2010 at 2:03 pm

Just put some socks in my shopping cart and then saw the coupon said “in-store” only….bummer. :(

Ellen Christian July 11, 2010 at 2:25 pm

See below for your “Exclusive-thanks for Liking” us OFFER. Redeemable only in stores.

Cannot use it online & we do not have a Famous Footwear in our area.

Andrea July 11, 2010 at 2:34 pm

ALissa HOPE cow that is great
Im going to have to go instore now

Darlene July 11, 2010 at 3:18 pm

Alissa – please tell me how you got the shoes/socks for 58c – you only had a coupon for $10 – right? They must have been maked down to a very low price. Thanks.

Alissa July 12, 2010 at 11:26 am

@Darlene,

Yes! Everything was marked down plus my store has a buy one, get one half of sale on everything in the store (except those sketcher healthy shoe things), so I shopped the clearance section. The shoes were marked down to $5 each, and I got two pairs of socks that were marked down to $2 each. I paid $5 for the first pair of shoes, $2.50 for the second, $2 for the first set of socks, and $1 for the second set of socks. I calculated my savings by the original retail price. :)

cathy July 11, 2010 at 3:40 pm

where do I get the promo code to make the online purchase?? I see the printable coupon to use in store, but not the online code.

Rachel Haugaard July 11, 2010 at 7:49 pm

@cathy, You can now only use it in stores…they changed it. :(

Lisa July 11, 2010 at 6:53 pm

Latest from Facebook – Famous FootwearFans — thanks so much for all your patience and understanding. We are working on a coupon for use online for all of you (the in-store coupon is still printable under the “ExclusiveOffer” tab). Stay tuned tomorrow morning for an update.7 minutes ago

Agnes July 11, 2010 at 7:54 pm

Thanks, Lisa!
Hope they come up w/ something good. It’s really crummy to offer a deal then pull it back!

Agnes July 11, 2010 at 7:54 pm

i know Crystal will be right on it and let us know all the detials tomorrow.
sweet dreams,

laura July 11, 2010 at 8:00 pm

They said on the site that anyone that used the code last night and was able to place an order with it would be proccessed.

Ann July 11, 2010 at 8:19 pm

My daughter and I went to Famous Footwear this evening, each with a coupon and we each walked out with a pair of shoes off the clearance rack that were marked $10. They were completely free! I expected to at least pay the sales tax but the lady was very nice and said we owed nothing! Sure enough, the receipts had a total of $o.oo!
Thank you so much for this info!!

Rebecca July 11, 2010 at 8:29 pm

If you got to retailmenot.com, there are some working codes for $10 off a $50 order. I know most of you won’t want to pay $50, but I thought I’d mention the codes are working. Although, you do still have to pay the $4.50 shipping charge.

crystal July 11, 2010 at 8:33 pm

I went to Famous Footwear today and my husband and I each used one. Walked out with sneakers for our son a pack of socks and a reusable bag for 11.00 bucks total. They were also very nice about it!!

Alecia @ Savings & Stewardship July 11, 2010 at 10:33 pm

The coupon now says it is good only in-stores … SO excited there is actually one in my area!! Guess we’ll be heading there tomorrow! Thanks.

Tom July 11, 2010 at 11:14 pm

Thanks, Im needing a new pair of work shoes! We miss you!

Erin July 11, 2010 at 11:31 pm

How can you complain about something totally free? It is so disappointing to hear people grumble when something goes wrong. I printed off my coupon, drove to the store and was able to use it just fine. On Facebook FF has been very aplogetic about the issue and promises to post a new deal soon. Considering everyone wants to use it for something $10 (to make it totally FREE) then I think that we should be patient with them and give them the benefit of the doubt that they aren’t trying to manipulate the situation. Just my two cents.

On a very positive note, thanks MSM for the heads up and FF for the incredibly generous coupon. My daughter thanks you for her new super sparkly, super fun ROXY Flip Flops!! :)

Rae July 12, 2010 at 9:47 am

@Erin, I agree! It’s not like Kmart/Sears where they have been there/done that on the whole coupon “mistake” over and over again. I think that FF didn’t think it through but regret it and don’t seem like they will have it happen again. I for one will continue to shop there (when there is a good sale/coupons of course :P ).

Dee July 12, 2010 at 10:07 am

@Erin, Some people can’t just jump in their cars and drive to the store to use the coupon!

Erin July 12, 2010 at 1:05 pm

@Dee, I understand that. But sometimes there are good deals that we just miss out on because of things that the store can’t control. I think that the coupon was incredibly generous and I choose to be thankful for what they DID offer instead of what they didn’t.

Tranquility July 11, 2010 at 11:37 pm

Thank you so much for your website:) I bought my husband nice pair of sandals which was $14.99, then I paid $5.89 with tax. Thank you so much!!

AShley July 12, 2010 at 7:56 am

Just printed it this morning and it says “valid on shoe purchases only”

anne July 12, 2010 at 8:12 am

the coupon says valid only on shoes. so no socks.

Lydia July 12, 2010 at 9:01 am

Coupon must have changed again…now it says only valid on shoes. :(

jennifer July 12, 2010 at 9:01 am

Thank you so much!! You have no idea what ‘little’ things like this mean to our family.

Rae July 12, 2010 at 9:45 am

I went yesterday and used it on superman and spiderman socks for my son (I have no idea how he goes through so many stinkin’ socks) before they changed it again. But my sister got a pair of sneakers completely free because they were on clearance for exactly $10. In the kids clearance, I saw a bunch of little girls shoes on clearance for $5 or $10 but they only had like 2 that price that were boys (and they were too small, too big I could have worked with but not too small).

Janet Johnson July 12, 2010 at 9:55 am

Okay I printed out the 10 dollar coupon and I also had a 5 dollar rewards coupon. I was able to use both and got a 29 dollar sale pair of running shoes for 15.74!

amanda July 12, 2010 at 10:07 am

worked fine for me in store today! thanks! found a nice pair of asics on sale!

Tami July 12, 2010 at 11:41 am

We used the coupon at our local store. My oldest daughter had her own coupon and “bought” a pair of cute canvas slides that were on clearance for $10, so her total was 0. I purchased a pair of Roxy flip flops for my other daughter that were on sale for 9.99 and then added 4 pairs of nice winter tights for a total of 3.17. The tights were on clearance for $1 and they were by 1 get 1 half off. It was a great deal day for our family. thanks for the info:)

Margaret July 12, 2010 at 12:12 pm

I went yesterday with my friend and we each got 2 packs of socks for $1.04 total. That is FABULOUS. I really needed socks cus I loose them all the time and this was a really good deal.. I think I might go back for some more today.

Marie July 12, 2010 at 1:50 pm

YEP….Read todays coupon guys…..says it is valid only on shoes. (No Socks.) I still scored some deals. Sandals for me orig. 59.99, on clearance I paid 14.99. Sandals for my son and shoes for my daughter….clearanced for 14.99, so I paid 4.99 each. YAY!! Going back again tonight!

Kelley July 12, 2010 at 4:05 pm

Thanks for posting Crystal!
My son and I each used our own coupon. Famous Footwear was so nice to us! He got Nike flipflops for less than 2.00 and I go a pair of shoes for my other son for 0.00 out of pocket!
Your site rocks!

Jenny July 12, 2010 at 5:26 pm

Thanks so much!! I got my son a pair of $10 clearance shoes for free!! I didn’t even have to pay tax! Awesome deal :)

vickie July 15, 2010 at 4:18 am

Just to let you know I got my $10.00 code today in my email for online and ordered me a nice pair of tennis shoes for $20.00 with free shipping today. Thanks so much for letting us know about this deal.
