French Days football: shoes, jerseys and equipment

The French Days: what are they on a football site?

The French Days are a French sales event held in spring, organised by various brands, focused on great deals for a few days. On Foot-Store, this event takes the form of a dedicated selection: football and lifestyle items are grouped for the duration of the event on this page and its related pages, instead of being scattered throughout the catalog. Outside of this period, the page remains the entry point to other promotions on the site, detailed further down.

In practical terms, you’ll find what you need to play or show support: shorts, socks, and t-shirts in club and national team colours, available in adult and child sizes from Nike, adidas, and Hummel. Goalkeeper kits feature prominently here, as do items for younger players.

What can you find in each French Days selection?

The French Days selection is organised by use, making it easier to find the right size short without scrolling through the entire catalog. Each page caters to a specific need:

• The shoes, to check when you want to change your pair before the season ends or to have a second pair for training.
• The teams, for kits in the colours of clubs and national teams, both for fans and on the pitch.
• The children, the page to open first if you’re kitting out a growing player who changes size every season.
• The teamwear, for training kits and items worn by groups, from shorts to socks.
• The balls, useful when you need to replace a worn-out ball or stock up for training.
• The goalkeepers, where you’ll find specific shorts and socks for the position, in adult and junior sizes.
• The lifestyle, for items in a club’s colours that can be worn off the pitch.
• The club space, designed for team managers ordering multiple identical kits.
• The running and fitness, for physical preparation and sessions off the ball.

What items are currently in the selection?

Currently, the selection revolves around three easy-to-combine categories: shorts, socks, and t-shirts. These are the items you replace most often, as they wear out quickly and change size with the child wearing them.

Goalkeeper kits are well represented, with shorts and socks in the colours of European clubs, available in adult and junior versions. You’ll also find items from national teams, in both home and away colours. Multiple seasons coexist: recent collections sit alongside last season’s styles, which explains some of the price differences from one item to another.

Nike, adidas, Puma, Hummel: which brands are on this page?

Three brands make up the selection: Nike, adidas, Puma, and Hummel. They dress different clubs and teams, and it’s usually the team that determines the brand, not the other way around: you choose a club, and the supplier follows.

If you’re looking for a cohesive kit, it’s easiest to start with the desired club on the teams page, and then add the corresponding socks. For a neutral training outfit without a badge, the teamwear page and the club space are more suitable, especially when multiple players need to wear the same thing.

Supporter version or player version: which one to choose?

The supporter version is designed to be worn daily, looser and more comfortable; the player version follows the fit and finishes used on the pitch, which is more fitted. For the same club reference, the two cuts have different falls and feels, and the choice mostly depends on the use: stands and city on one side, matches and training on the other.

For a child, the supporter version is generally the more flexible choice, as it allows for a bit of growth room. Junior references are grouped on the children page, and position kits on the goalkeepers page.

How to equip a child without getting the size wrong?

For a child, sizes are marked by age and the size indicated on the product page, not by the equivalent adult size. Junior shorts and socks follow different sizing charts than adults, even from the same supplier, so it’s better to check the size chart for each item rather than relying on the size of a piece bought last season.

A commercial event is also a good time to anticipate: buying socks in double, or getting a spare pair of shorts, avoids the need to purchase urgently mid-season. All items for younger players are gathered on the children page, and the rest of the year on the children page of the general catalog.

Where to find deals the rest of the year?

The French Days are just one highlight among others: Foot-Store maintains permanent commercial pages all year round, accessible even outside events. The deals page gathers current offers, the clearance page includes end-of-lines and previous season collections, and the special offers complete the package.

The calendar provides helpful timing for choosing your moment. The Black Friday kicks off the sequence in autumn, followed by the end-of-year holidays, then the winter sales, before the French Days in spring. End-of-season sales and collection changes are often the best times for club kits, as last season’s shirts and shorts make way for the new references.

If you prefer to see what has just arrived rather than what is leaving, the new arrivals showcase the latest items added to the catalog. And when time is of the essence, before a match or a birthday, the page for 24-hour dispatch items narrows the selection to products processed the quickest. The private sales and the Back To Club event for the start of the season complete this calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find cheap football shoes during the French Days?

The pairs involved in the event are gathered on the French Days shoes page, which saves you from rifling through the entire catalog. Outside of the event, the same approach works with the clearance page, where end-of-lines and previous season colours can be found. If you don’t have a specific model in mind, all pairs can still be viewed on the football shoes page.

Are there club jerseys on sale?

Kits in the colours of clubs and teams are gathered on the teams page during the event. The available references vary from one edition to another depending on which seasons are still in the catalog, and it’s often the collections from previous seasons that are the most accessible. The complete catalog of club kits can be viewed in the supporters' shop.

When do the discounts start?

The French Days take place in spring and last only a few days, with no fixed dates from year to year. Other highlights punctuate the calendar: the Black Friday in autumn, then the winter and summer sales. Between events, the deals page remains active all the time.

Can I equip a goalkeeper during the event?

Yes, position-specific items are gathered on the goalkeepers page of the French Days, in both adult and junior sizes. You’ll find goalkeeper shorts and socks in the colours of clubs and teams there. The rest of the year, goalkeeper equipment is grouped on the goalkeeper specialist page.

What should I do if the desired item no longer appears in the selection?

An event selection evolves during the event: a size that has sold out will disappear from the page, even if the model remains in the catalog. The most effective response is to look for the item on its original page, for example the supporters' shop for a club kit or the football equipment for the rest. End-of-lines are then moved to the clearance page.
