Back to School for Less: Shoe Carnival’s Storewide Lowest Price Guarantee

Quick Answer: The Ultimate In-Store Price Match Advantage

Prepping the family for the new school year shouldn’t mean overspending. This back-to-school season, Shoe Carnival is rolling out our Lowest Price Guarantee storewide—an exclusive, in-store promotion designed to guarantee you get the best deal on every single item in the building. If you find a lower competitor price on any identical in-stock pair or accessory, we’ll match it—and we’ll hand you a $10 Reward right at the register! Head into your local Shoe Carnival store to stock up on all your BTS essentials for less.

Why Shopping In-Store Beats the Online Hunt

Between verifying shoe sizes, waiting on delivery trucks, and spending hours searching for online promo codes, back-to-school shopping can get exhausting fast. Shopping in person at Shoe Carnival keeps things simple, fun, and hassle-free: your kids can try on their favorite kicks, test out the cushion on real floors, and walk out with fresh shoes ready for day one.

With our storewide Lowest Price Guarantee, you don't have to sacrifice savings for in-store convenience. You get the perfect fit, instant gratification, and friendly service—backed by an ironclad price promise that covers every single shelf, rack, and display in the store.

How the Storewide Lowest Price Guarantee Works

1. Grab Any Item in the Store: Every single item in our building qualifies for price protection—from the latest court sneakers to backpacks and socks.

2. Show Proof of a Lower Price: Found an identical, in-stock item advertised cheaper by a local brick-and-mortar competitor (with a difference of $1.00 or more)? Just show our store team member the mobile listing or printed ad.

3. Get Matched + Claim Your $10 Reward: We’ll adjust the price on the spot AND hand you a $10 Reward to put toward your next purchase!
