Running shoes for back to school

What running shoes can you find for the start of the school year?

This page brings together running shoes for children and adults, suitable for resuming school or personal training. You'll find versatile models for road running, lighter pairs designed for performance, and shoes made for comfortable everyday use. The selection caters to both beginners in running and the needs of regular runners.

Running, trail, cross training: which shoe for which use?

The choice mainly depends on the terrain and frequency of use. A road running shoe focuses on cushioning and lightness to support strides on tarmac or track, like models such as the Nike Vomero or the adidas Hyperboost, designed to absorb shocks over long distances. Trail shoes, like the Nike Pegasus Trail or the Nike Juniper Trail, offer a stickier sole for trails and uneven surfaces. Competition-oriented models, such as the adidas Adizero Adios Pro or the Adizero Evo SL, prioritise lightness and dynamism for intensive training or timed races. For more general everyday use, pairs like the Runfalcon provide a simple and versatile base, suitable for casual runs and school physical activities.

What brands of running shoes are available?

The selection is based on three well-known brands in running. Nike offers lines like the Vomero, focusing on comfort and long-lasting cushioning. Adidas covers a wide spectrum from the Runfalcon for everyday use to the Adizero Adios Pro and the Adizero Evo SL for performance-seeking runners, including the Hyperboost for soft cushioning. Puma rounds out the offering with models like the Deviate Nitro, designed to support faster paces.

Clothing and accessories to complete your running gear

A pair of shoes isn't always enough to prepare for a complete sports start. You can check the other categories of the running catalogue to complete your gear:

• The men's running clothes, to find suitable shorts, technical t-shirts or jackets for training.
• The women's running clothes, featuring outfits designed for everyday running.
• The water bottles and nutrition products, useful for hydration or recovery after exercise.

When can you take advantage of the best deals on running shoes?

Several shopping events allow you to monitor the prices of running shoes throughout the year. The Black Friday comes first, followed by the holiday sales. Then come the winter sales, followed by the French Days in spring and the summer sales. Outside of these periods, the bargain page and the clearance page help to spot end-of-line references. The new arrivals page should be monitored at the start of the season and with each new collection release, while the 24h dispatch page helps identify pairs available quickly before school starts.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find cheap running shoes during the sales?

The sales page gathers items included in seasonal discounts, including running shoes when the period is open. It's useful to check it regularly, as the available references change with available stock.

Are there discounted running shoes during the Black Friday?

The Black Friday is one of the highlights of the year for spotting deals on running shoes, alongside the holiday season and winter sales. The selection available during this period varies each year depending on stock.

How do I choose the right size for a child's running shoe?

A child's shoe size changes quickly, so it's advisable to measure their foot regularly rather than relying on a size bought a few months earlier. If uncertain between two sizes, opting for the larger size provides some extra room, especially for everyday use at school or in clubs.

Can I find trail shoes in this selection?

Yes, models designed for uneven terrains are included in the running selection, alongside road and cross-training shoes. They are distinguished by a stickier sole, suited for paths and trails rather than tarmac.

When do new models of running shoes come out?

Brands refresh their running lines at regular intervals, with no single common schedule for all. The new arrivals page allows you to follow the arrival of these recent models as soon as they join the catalogue.
