Football sales: shoes, jerseys, and equipment

What football sales are

The sales are two legally defined periods, in winter and summer, during which last season's products are discounted. They're not separate items: it's the same gear as the rest of the year, just at a reduced price because the collection is making way for the next one. Outside of these two periods, it's the clearance that takes over, continuously.

Where to search depending on what you need

Each category has its dedicated page. Go straight to the one that concerns you; it's the quickest way to see what's left in your size.

• Footwear: discounted boots, all soles included. This is the most popular page, and where sizes go the fastest.
• Teams: club and national team jerseys, most commonly from the previous season.
• Teamwear: training and match kits for teams, useful when a club renews its gear.
• Goalkeepers: gloves, shorts and specific jerseys, a category where the discounts are significant given the high price of gloves.
• Children: shoes and kits in junior sizes, where the need for renewal is most frequent.
• Equipment and balls: shin guards, bags, training and match balls.
• Club space: group orders for associations.
• Lifestyle and running and fitness: what you wear outside the pitch.

Three checks before you confirm

First, check the sole if you're buying shoes: a discounted pair in SG won't work if you're playing on synthetic. Next, consider the season when it comes to a jersey: sales often mix two seasons, which matters if you plan to personalise it. Finally, the size, because it's the main reason for returns.

A personalised jersey cannot be returned or exchanged, so it's best to be certain before ordering the custom print.

Other marked moments of the year

Waiting for the sales while letting the rest pass by is the most common mistake. The Black Friday kicks off the end of the year with a often broader selection, the French Days animate spring, private sales often precede public discounts, and the clearance runs all year round without a specific schedule, just like the site's special deals.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find cheap football shoes during the sales?

On the discounted shoes page on Foot-Store, which brings together discounted boots from all brands and soles. Start by filtering by sole type, FG for natural pitches, AG for synthetic: this is what eliminates the most bad deals. Out of the sales periods, the same models are found in the clearance.

Are there club jerseys on sale during the sales?

Yes, on the discounted teams page. These are mostly last season's kits, identical to those sold at full price a few months earlier, with last year's design. Check the indicated season if you're considering personalisation.

Can we find discounted goalkeeper gloves?

Yes, on the goalkeepers page, which gathers gloves, jerseys and specific shorts. This is one of the categories where the discounts are most felt, as match gloves are expensive and wear out quickly: many keepers take the opportunity to get two pairs, one for training and one for matches.

And for equipping a child?

The children page brings together shoes and kits in junior sizes. It's often the best time of year to equip, as feet change sizes from season to season. Watch out for intermediate sizes, which sell out quickly within the first days.

Is it better to buy at the start of the sales or wait for the last discounts?

It depends on your size. For common sizes and fittings, waiting often means you'll find nothing: they go quickly in the first days. For less requested sizes, waiting allows you to benefit from successive discounts on what's left.

What's the difference with clearance?

The sales are a regulated and time-limited period. The clearance is permanent: it gathers end-of-range and previous collections all year round. Out of sales periods, this is where you need to look.
