The annual end-of-financial-year sales have become a sport for those looking for a good sale, but every now and then a deal lands that makes even the most disciplined shopper start mentally rearranging their shoe rack.
That moment has arrived at Styletread, with the Australian footwear retailer launching an EOFY event that takes a further 30 per cent off already reduced sale styles.
Running from 30 June through to 5 July, the promotion applies across a huge range of discounted footwear, offering shoppers the chance to pick up premium leather styles and trend-driven favourites for significantly less.

The sale excludes Ziera, but with thousands of other styles available, there is still plenty of temptation waiting in the virtual aisles.
For anyone whose winter wardrobe is crying out for a refresh, the timing could hardly be better.
Boots are still earning their keep through chilly mornings, while classic trans-seasonal styles are beginning to creep onto spring shopping wish lists.
Among the standout buys are the Rennosy Black White Cow Leather Pony Ankle Boots by Django & Juliette, now reduced to $179 from $269.95.
The statement boots tap into the growing appetite for textured leather and pony hair finishes that have been popping up across fashion feeds and designer collections this year.
The folded leather silhouette gives the boots a relaxed, lived-in feel while still delivering enough polish to work with everything from denim and oversized knits to tailored trousers and midi dresses.
It is the kind of shoe that manages to do all the heavy lifting in an outfit without demanding too much effort from the wearer.
Equally appealing are the Jinny Walnut Leather Boat Shoes by Mollini, now available for $149, down from $239.95.
Boat shoes have enjoyed an unexpected resurgence over the past year, moving from yacht-club staple to fashion editor favourite.
The appeal lies in their versatility. They work with relaxed linen trousers, denim, tailored shorts and flowing skirts, making them one of the few shoes capable of surviving the seasonal transition from winter to spring without missing a beat.
The sale is also a timely reminder that investing in quality footwear often pays dividends long after fleeting trends have disappeared.
Premium leather construction, timeless silhouettes and neutral colour palettes tend to earn their place in wardrobes year after year.
Proudly Australian-owned and operated, Styletread has built a loyal following by bringing together more than 80 Australian and international brands in one destination.
The retailer stocks footwear for women, men and children, with everything from everyday essentials to occasion-ready styles and fashion-forward pieces.
The practical perks are just as appealing as the discounts themselves.
Orders over $99 receive free delivery across Australia and New Zealand, while a 30-day returns policy takes much of the risk out of buying shoes online.
With an additional 30 per cent coming off sale prices for just a few days, this is one of those rare moments where replacing worn-out staples suddenly feels less like a guilty pleasure and more like a financially responsible decision.
