Sport and lifestyle Sales

The principle of sales

The sales are periods of discounted sales regulated by law, which take place twice a year in France: in winter, at the beginning of the year, and in summer. During these periods, brands and shops sell off the collections from the ending season. Discounts can change over the weeks, but the most in-demand sizes go quickly in the first few days.

Sales by category

Sales are organised by category:

• Sneakers, for lifestyle trainers and archive classics.
• Football, shoes, jerseys, and equipment.
• Running, running shoes and apparel.
• Outdoor, hiking and mountain gear.
• Indoor, indoor sports.
• Lifestyle, clothing and accessories.
• Equestrian, for the rider and horse.

How to shop well during sales

To make the most of a sale, prepare your list in advance and check your size: the foot length in centimetres for shoes, the brand's size guide for clothing. The most common sizes sell out quickly, and quantities are limited for some items. The product page for each item specifies its composition, usage, and availability.

Good deals all year round

Outside of sale periods, good bargains continue in the good deals, promotions, Black Friday, French Days, and the new arrivals showcase the latest collections. Items shipped within 24h are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours.

Key dates calendar

The key dates of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back to school. The categories football, running, lifestyle, equestrian present the complete offer all year round.

Frequently asked questions

When are the sales in France?

The sales take place twice a year, for a duration of four weeks: in winter, starting from early January, and in summer, starting from late June. Dates may vary in certain departments, especially border areas.

Can a discounted item be returned?

Yes, an item purchased online during sales has the same fourteen-day withdrawal rights as the rest of the year. Discounted items also retain the legal guarantee of conformity.

Are discounted items of lower quality?

No, the sales are clearing out the collections from the ending season: brand new products, the same as those sold previously. The law requires that they must have been available for sale for at least a month before the start of the sales.

Should I wait for the second markdown?

Discounts can change over the weeks, but the most in-demand sizes go quickly in the first few days. For a specific model in a common size, it's better not to wait; the next discounts mostly benefit less sought-after sizes.

What shoe size should I choose in a brand I have never worn?

You measure the length of your foot in centimetres, heel against a wall, and compare it to the brand's guide, as Asics, Nike, or Tamaris fit differently. Customer reviews often indicate if a model runs small or large.
