Labor Day is one of the best holidays. Not only does it give many workers a much-deserved three-day weekend, but it also marks the transition from summer to fall—and the seasonal wardrobe shift that goes along with it. The early days of September are the perfect time to start unearthing your softest black leggings, trendiest joggers, and most comfortable fall sneakers from the back of your closet. And if you're struggling to find any old fall favorites, you're in luck. Tons of Labor Day sales just kicked off today, giving you the opportunity to save big all weekend—especially when it comes to comfortable shoes.
