DSW Cuts Top-Brand Walking Shoes to $55 With Extra $10 and 25% Discounts

Q: DSW is heavily discounting top walking shoes, but which popular cushioned models are secretly excluded from the extra promo code?

The popular cushioned model quietly excluded from DSW’s extra BACKPACK promo code appears to be the Skechers Max Cushioning Endeavour, including the Endeavour-Ardena version. While the sale coverage groups the shoe among styles eligible for additional savings, the product-page text in the supporting material explicitly says “Max Cushioning Endeavour Excluded from promotions.” That means shoppers may still see a markdown on the shoe itself, but they should not expect the extra promo-code discount to apply. By contrast, other featured cushioned models such as the Skechers Summits High Range Slip-On and the Skechers Slip-Ins Arch Fit Drex are described as eligible for the extra $10 off, and the New Balance 370 is specifically tied to 25% off with the BACKPACK code. The exclusion language only clearly surfaces for the Max Cushioning Endeavour line. So the main “secretly excluded” cushioned shoe in this sale is the Skechers Max Cushioning Endeavour.
