Lifestyle: sneakers and clothes to wear off the pitch

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

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

In practice, 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, with models that are more oriented towards city running.

Which sneakers to choose for wearing every day?

For everyday use, start with the shape of the pair rather than its name: a low and simple silhouette goes well with jeans or joggers, while a wider, padded silhouette focuses on cushioning and comfort for a long day on your feet. The Nike Initiator and Nike Court Vision Low Next Nature belong to the first family, that of low, easy-to-match pairs. The Nike Air Monarch IV and Nike Air Max SC play more on volume and visible air cushioning.

The Nike V5 RNR and adidas Samba lean more towards city running style, featuring a thick sole and an upper made from multiple materials.

How to complete the outfit: joggers, shorts, cap, and backpack

The lifestyle clothing and accessories are meant to enhance everyday outfits around the shoes. Joggers are the easiest piece to pair, suitable for both training and daily commutes. For younger wearers, the Hummel Core 2.0 shorts work well for both school and sports.

On the accessory side, New Era 59Fifty caps in New York Yankees colours belong more to the streetwear category than to club wear. The Eastpak Day Pak'r and Padded Pak'r backpacks meet the most common needs, serving as a bag for a laptop or school supplies and not limited to just 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 person size, or a specific style:

• The pages men's clothing, women's clothing and kids' clothing, to start from the cuts and sizes that match the person who will wear the item.
• The pages men's sneakers, women's sneakers and kids' sneakers, if you are just looking for a pair of trainers and nothing else.
• The lifestyle accessories, for caps, backpacks and anything that completes the outfit without worrying about size.
• The vintage page, if you are looking for pieces with a retro style rather than the current season's cuts.
• The Nike Total 90 page, dedicated to items in that Nike line, and the Motorsport page, for items inspired by motorsport.
• The new lifestyle arrivals to see what has just arrived, and the special lifestyle offers to browse only discounted items.

If your search leans towards practice rather than city style, the football shoes and the training section are the pages to open. For a club jersey, head to the team shop, where outfits are available in both supporter and player versions.

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

Discounted items are grouped on permanent pages that you can access at any time of year. The good lifestyle deals collect current offers in this section of the catalog, the lifestyle clearance concerns end-of-line products and remaining sizes, and the lifestyle sales occur during official sale periods. To see what’s being added to the catalog, the new lifestyle arrivals are updated as deliveries come in.

In terms of the calendar, the times to keep an eye on are the Black Friday lifestyle, then the end-of-year holidays, for which the Christmas page gathers gift ideas, followed by the winter sales, then the French Days in spring. The private sales and special offers complement these events outside the major periods.

Two other significant times for shoes are at the end of the season, when sandals and clogs make way for closed models, and the arrival of a new collection, which pushes the colours from the previous season towards the clearance. If you are in a hurry, the shipped in 24h page only shows relevant items.

Frequently asked questions

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

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

Can I play football in lifestyle sneakers?

No, these pairs are designed for walking and everyday life, not for lateral movements and direction changes during a match. Their sole does not provide the grip of a studded sole or a court sole, and the upper does not hold the foot in the same way. To play, look for football shoes.

Do the same models exist in men's, women's, and kids' versions?

Some models are available across several pages, with cuts and colours differing from one version to another, while others exist in only one. The easiest way is to check the pages men's sneakers, women's sneakers, and kids' sneakers, which each display what is offered in those sizes. Kids' sizes and adult sizes do not always overlap for the same name of model.

Is an item 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 qualities just because a new collection has arrived. The catalog 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 for a gift when I don't know the shoe size?

Accessories avoid the size problem: a cap, a backpack, or joggers in standard sizes make better gifts than a pair of shoes. The lifestyle accessories page gathers this type of item, and the Christmas page brings them together during the holidays. If you want to give a pair, it's better to discreetly ask for the size of a pair already worn by the person.
