Target Circle Has Early Holiday Discounts On Crocs, Hey Dude, Converse

Target‘s giving its paid 360 members special perks — including early access to discounts on select apparel and shoes — for Circle Week to get them ready for Halloween and early holiday gift shopping.

Circle Week runs from Oct. 5 to Oct. 11. While all Circle members can enjoy the special offers for the week, perks just for its paid 360 rewards members include exclusive giveaways and only-at-Target product drops, among other surprises.

Circle specials include 30 percent off denim for adults, 30 percent off women’s sweatshirts and sweatpants and 20 percent off kids’ apparel. Early access deals include buy one, get one 50 percent off on women’s national-brand bras and bralettes.

For footwear, Converse shoes are discounted 20 percent. For the week, there will also be deals of the day on many national brands, including Apple and Champion. Shoes from Crocs and Hey Dude are among the items slated for daily deals, with prices starting at 40 percent off or more.

“Target Circle Week is more than just another sale,” Cara Sylvester, executive vice president and chief guest experience officer, said, adding that it’s also the kickoff to holiday shopping. She said the events gives shoppers the ability to “stock up for Halloween, start crossing holiday gifts off their lists and enjoy the season stress-free.”

Target Circle Week deals are available at nearly 2,000 Target stores nationwide, with shoppers also able to avail themselves to the discounters convenience services such as free Order Pickup and Drive Up, as well as same- and next-day delivery. The Target Circle loyalty program is free, while the paid Target Circle 360 members receive additional exclusive benefits that include early access to shop brand collaborations.

The discounter in August offered a 30 percent discount on select kids’ shoes for its back-to-school event. How holiday 2025 will shape up remains to be seen.

According to a PwC 2025 Holiday Outlook survey, the consultancy firm is projecting a 7 percent to 10 percent decline in year-over-year shoe purchases, likely due to potential stick shock as tariffs hike prices on shoes starting this fall. Tariff impact is expected to impact other holiday spend as well.

In general, PwC is expecting holiday spending to fall by 5 percent from 2024 levels, representing the first notable drop since 2020. Eighty-four percent of respondents said they expect to pull back their spending in the next six months, citing rising prices, new tariffs and higher cost of living as the key reasons.

The projected decline is not unexpected. Earlier this year, a survey from AlixPartners in partnership with the Footwear Distributors & Retailers of America found that tariffs and shoe prices had parents considering either trade-down options or buying fewer pairs as they pondered their back-to-school purchases. AlixPartners noted in July that if consumers pulled forward their spend in anticipation of higher prices later on, that move could leave less available later in their holiday budget.
