Running and Trail Shoes: What You’ll Find in This Selection

This page brings together the new running and trail shoes available at Foot-Store, whether you’re looking for a model for the road or for rough terrain. The ranges cover both tarmac running and trail practice, with shoes designed for grip, cushioning, and foot support at every step.

Road or Trail: How to Choose Your Running Shoes

The choice of running shoes mainly depends on the terrain you run on. On the road, models focus on cushioning and energy return to handle the miles on tarmac. On trails or in the mountains, trail shoes feature a grippy sole that works well on soft, muddy or rocky ground, and a more enveloping upper that protects the foot from impacts. If you alternate both practices, keeping a pair suited to each terrain remains the most comfortable solution.

Completing Your Running Outfit

A suitable pair of shoes isn’t enough to run properly; your outfit matters too. You can check these pages to complete your gear:

• Men's Clothing, with technical tops and bottoms designed for running.
• Women's Clothing, to find outfits suitable for running.

When to Take Advantage of Good Deals on Running or Trail Shoes

The best times to find running or trail shoes at a discount are during the major sales events of the year. Black Friday often marks the first opportunity, followed by the year-end holidays, and then the winter sales. Spring brings the French Days, another chance to refresh your pair before outdoor running resumes.

Outside of these periods, the catalogue offers permanent sections to find good deals. The Sales page returns in January and summer, the Clearance section helps find end-of-line models all year round, and Good Deals gathers the site's occasional offers. The Black Friday page centralises the offers from the key end-of-year event, and the Special Offers complement these events. If you want to receive your pair quickly, the 24h Shipping page lists the items available for immediate dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find cheap running shoes?

Discounted running shoes are mainly found on the Sales and Clearance pages, which compile the discounted models from the catalogue. You can also check Good Deals to spot occasional offers available on the site.

Can I use trail shoes for running on the road?

It's possible occasionally, but the grippy sole of a trail shoe wears out faster on tarmac and is less comfortable for long runs on the road. For regular road use, a running shoe is more suitable for this terrain.

When do new collections of running shoes arrive?

New running and trail shoes come into the catalogue throughout the year, with peak times around the season restart and the release of new collections. The New Arrivals page compiles all the latest arrivals, across all sports.

Do I need a different size for trail shoes?

Some runners choose a half size up for trail shoes, especially on long runs where the foot swells more. The choice also depends on the shape of the foot and the model, trying them on is the most reliable way before buying.

Can I find running shoes during the Black Friday?

The Black Friday is one of the key times when running and trail shoes are discounted, alongside the winter sales and the French Days in spring. These periods are also an opportunity to refresh your outfit with the Men's Clothing and Women's Clothing pages.
