Lifestyle: sneakers and clothes to wear off the pitch

What can you find in the lifestyle selection at Foot-Store?

The lifestyle selection brings together the shoes and clothing you wear outside of matches: city sneakers, sandals for summer, jogging pants, shorts, caps, and backpacks. It's the part of the catalogue that’s not designed for playing, but for going to school, work, on holiday, or training in casual wear. The brands available come from both sports and urban footwear: Nike and Nike ACG, Asics, Skechers, Eastpak, New Era, and Hummel.

Specifically, you’ll find very versatile pairs like the Nike Initiator, Nike V5 RNR, Nike Air Max SC, Nike Air Monarch IV, or Nike Court Vision Low Next Nature, which are more geared towards city running.

Which sneakers to choose for everyday wear?

For daily use, start with the shape of the pair rather than its name: a low and simple silhouette goes well with jeans as well as jogging pants, while a wider and cushioned silhouette emphasises comfort and support for a long day on your feet. The Nike Initiator and Nike Court Vision Low Next Nature belong to the first family of easy-to-pair low shoes. The Nike Air Monarch IV and Nike Air Max SC lean more towards volume and visible air cushioning.

The Nike V5 RNR and adidas Samba are more oriented towards city running style, featuring thick soles and multi-material uppers.

How to complete the outfit: jogging pants, shorts, cap, and backpack

The lifestyle clothing and accessories serve to dress up the everyday outfit around the shoes. Jogging pants remain the easiest item to match, suitable for both training and daily commutes. For younger people, the Hummel Core 2.0 shorts work well for school and sports.

On the accessory side, New Era 59Fifty caps in the colours of the New York Yankees belong more to streetwear than to clubwear. The Eastpak Day Pak'r and Padded Pak'r backpacks cover the common need for a bag that holds a laptop or school supplies and isn't limited to one season.

Men, women, kids, sneakers, vintage: which page to visit?

The lifestyle selection is divided into several pages, depending on whether you are looking for a product category, a size for a person, or a specific style:

• The pages men's clothing, women's clothing and children's clothing, to find the cuts and sizes that match the person wearing the piece.
• The pages men's sneakers, women's sneakers and children's sneakers, if you are simply looking for a pair of trainers.
• The lifestyle accessories, for caps, backpacks, and anything that completes the outfit without size considerations.
• The page vintage, if you are looking for retro style pieces rather than current season cuts.
• The page Nike Total 90, dedicated to items from this Nike line, and the page Motorsport, for items inspired by motorsport.
• The new lifestyle arrivals to see what has just come in, and the special lifestyle offers to view only discounted products.

If your search ultimately leans more towards practical needs rather than urban style, the football shoes and the training sections are the pages to check out. For a club jersey, visit the team shop, where the kits are available in both supporter and player versions.

Where to find good lifestyle deals and when to check them out?

Discounted items are grouped in permanent pages, which you can check at any time of the year. The lifestyle deals gather the current offers in this part of the catalogue, the lifestyle clearance concerns end-of-lines and remaining sizes, and the lifestyle sales activate during official periods. To see what's new in the catalogue, the new lifestyle arrivals are updated with each delivery.

In terms of timing, the moments to watch are Black Friday lifestyle, then the end-of-year holidays for which the page Christmas groups gift ideas, then the winter sales, followed by the French Days in spring. The private sales and special offers supplement these events outside major sale periods.

Two other moments are interesting for shoes: the end of the season when sandals and clogs make way for closed models, and the arrival of a new collection, which often pushes down the prices of last season's colours towards clearance. If you are in a hurry, the page shipped in 24h shows only the relevant items.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what size to choose when ordering sneakers online?

The most reliable method is to start with a pair you already wear and that fits you well, then compare it to the size indications provided on the page of the model you are interested in. Also, measure your foot at the end of the day while standing, with your heel against a wall: this is when it is the widest. A urban shoe size does not always correspond to that of a football shoe, which is generally more fitted by design.

Can I play football with lifestyle sneakers?

No, these pairs are designed for walking and everyday life, not for lateral movement and direction changes during a match. Their sole does not provide the grip of a cleated sole or a court sole, and the upper does not support the foot in the same way. For playing, go for football shoes.

Are the same models available in men's, women's, and children's versions?

Some models are available in multiple pages, with different cuts and colours from one version to another, while others only exist in one. The easiest way is to check the men's sneakers, women's sneakers and children's sneakers pages, which display what is offered in these sizes. Children's sizes and adult sizes do not always overlap for the same name of model.

Is a model released several seasons ago still worth it?

Yes, in lifestyle, the logic is different from that of a match shoe: a city silhouette does not lose its appeal just because a new collection has arrived. The catalogue actually mixes items from recent collections and older ones, and the latter often end up in the lifestyle clearance pages. The real criterion remains the availability of your size.

What should I choose as a gift when I don’t know the size?

Accessories eliminate the size issue: a cap, a backpack, or jogging pants in a standard size are better suited to a gift than a pair of shoes. The lifestyle accessories page gathers these types of articles, and the Christmas page collects them during the holiday season. If you are determined to give a pair, it’s best to discreetly ask for the size of a pair already worn by the person.
