Welcome to the best shopping weekend of the year, Black Friday is finally here – and if you are a soccer fan, that means great savings on new soccer boots and gear are up for grabs! For some reason, this years prices on soccer gear are insanely low compared to anything we have seen before. During the 2010 feature, I was surprised by the amazing prices – but this year blows it out of the water!

Below, I have compiled the most comprehensive list of deals from several different sites, each separated into its own section. To kick start it off, here is a summary of what deals are on offer and where to find them. Then, below that is a more in-depth look at each deal and how you can use it most effectively.

Enjoy, and go get some savings on new boots!

• Soccer.com – 20% off any purchase over $100. Use 1SOCCER20 during checkout.
• WeGotSoccer – 30% off their sale section. Use SC101-BF2011 during checkout to add an additional 5% off.
• WorldSoccerShop – A mix of sale prices found throughout the site.
• Nike Store – 25% off their Clearance section. Use ADVANTAGE during checkout.
• Puma Store – 30% off all merchandise. No code needed, just add to cart.
• Adidas Store – 10% on all sale items. Use HOLIDAY during checkout.

Soccer.com’s deal gives you 20% off any purchase over $100. So, you can use it to shop and get a discount on your entire cart pending it reaches that $100 limit! If you are looking for one of the latest releases on the market, it makes for a pretty awesome time to buy. Maybe the new Nike CR7 Superfly or the Puma PowerCat 1.12?

As always, the team at WeGotSoccer have offered up an exclusive code that will get you 30%+5% off their sale section. Use promo code SC101-BF2011 during checkout to add an additional 5% off the current marked down price. Basically, you are getting 35% off already on sale gear! I find their sale section is probably one of the best spots on the web to pick up a random (but awesome) deal on boots. They are also offering between 20 – 30% discount on non-sale footwear, equipment & apparel throughout Friday, Saturday & Sunday (exceptions: new Adidas & Nike footwear)

WorldSoccerShop don’t have a set discount, but they are offering some great deals on top boots and gear (see here) right through the site. If you are looking for a new jersey, a new soccer ball or just some new t-shirts definitely check out what WSS have on offer. Otherwise, here are some of the awesome footwear offers they have going.

Nike Store are offering an extra 25% off their Clearance section by simply using code ADVANTAGE at checkout. You can also get free shipping on any order by including code SWOOSH at checkout. If you are a fan of Nike gear, this is the best way to get apparel not sold anywhere else, with a discount of course!

Adidas are offering up an additional 10% on all sale items by adding code HOLIDAY at checkout. The offer is valid on all sale items with free shipping on orders over $50. I am a huge fan of Adidas gear (including originals) and since they don’t go on sale very often, this makes for a good time to sale. Some offers to check out include the below.

I have personally used Black Friday as the day to stock up on soccer gear over the past few years since I moved to the US. There are always some amazing bargains to be found on all the top rate gear, and this year is no exception.

Last year, I did a small feature on Black Friday sales. But this year, I spent some time scouting out the current prices and savings found at the most commonly used store to come up with a list of what I consider to be the best bargains. I can’t guarantee all the info is 100% accurate but the numbers will end up being very close. Also, apologies if certain pairs or sizes are sold out before you get to them. If you do miss the Black Friday sales don’t forget that Cyber Monday is only 2 days away. All prices listed below are before taxes and shipping.

Soccer.com are offering 20% off orders over $100 using code 1BLKFR120

Here is the trick -

• For big ticket items and anything over $100, shop at soccer.com using Goal Club membership and the 20% off. Also worth trying is the free shipping code 1HOLIDAY. Not entirely sure if the codes will double up.
• For anything under $100, shop at World Soccer Shop as they give 20% off all orders. There is also a World Soccer Shop free shipping code for anything over $75 – 7WSS1231 Again not sure if this doubles up

Soccer.com
Without a doubt the No.1 place to get the best deals, and on offer this Black Friday is an amazing 20% off everything. My advice, go take a look at the current sale prices and minus another 20% – this equals probably the easiest deal you will get on a new pair of cleats! And if you are really smart, you will join the Goal Club, to add even more savings!
And as an example of what I am talking about, a pair of Nike Tiempo III’s = $86. Regular price $164.99,  Black Friday Price $86 (Goal Club price is $107.99, – 20% off).
