Running accessories: headbands, watches and gloves
Foot-Store's running accessories selection includes headbands Nike, smartwatches Garmin, and gloves that accompany you during running, trail, or fitness activities.
Here you will find everything you need to complete your gear, from the headband that keeps the sweat away during your workout to the GPS watch that tracks your pace and training sessions.
What can you find in the running accessories at Foot-Store?
This category includes three types of products designed for running, trail running, and training: headbands, smartwatches, and gloves. The headbands Nike come in various styles and designs, to absorb sweat or cover your ears depending on the season. The smartwatches Garmin cater to different uses, from basic session tracking to multisport GPS with built-in heart rate monitor. The gloves, like those from Softee, complete your outfit for outings in cold weather.
Headband, smartwatch, gloves: how to choose?
The choice mainly depends on the intended use rather than the brand. A Nike Classic or Flex headband is enough to absorb sweat during a running or fitness session, while a wider or technical fabric model is better suited for trail running in wet conditions. A Garmin smartwatch provides more advanced tracking: some are limited to essential running functions, while others include GPS, wrist heart rate monitoring, or interchangeable bands. Finally, gloves should be chosen according to the season and intensity of the effort, to maintain sensitivity while protecting against the cold.
Electronics: the subcategory for watches and connected tools
If you're specifically looking for a GPS watch, a heart rate monitor, or a replacement band, the Electronics page brings together all the available Garmin references, including watches and compatible accessories.
To broaden the search beyond accessories, the Shoes, Men's Clothing, and Women's Clothing pages complete your running gear, while the Fitness-Training page covers equipment used in gyms or at home.
Nike, Garmin, Softee: available brands
Three brands are available in this category. Nike offers its headbands in various widths and designs, suitable for both running and fitness. Garmin covers smartwatches and the entire ecosystem surrounding them, including compatible bands and accessories. Softee completes the range with gloves suitable for outdoor training. To compare all the brands available on the site, the Brands page centralises the different categories available in the catalog.
When to take advantage of the best deals on running accessories?
The prices of running accessories change with the site's promotional events, so there isn't a specific time to remember throughout the year. The most favourable periods are generally Black Friday, the end-of-year holidays, winter sales, and the French Days in spring. Outside of these peak times, the Deals page and the Clearance page make it easy to spot current price drops. If you're looking for a new item available quickly, the New Arrivals and Shipped in 24h pages feature the latest arrivals and items available without delay. The Special Offers page completes this list for the entire running catalog.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Nike headband suitable for trail running?
Yes, Nike Classic or Flex headbands are suitable for road running as well as trail running, provided you choose a model that covers your ears well in cold or windy weather. For very wet outings, a wider headband usually dries more slowly than a thinner model.
Do you need a high-end Garmin watch to start running?
No, an entry-level watch is enough to track distance, pace, and basic heart rate. More advanced models mainly offer additional metrics useful for structured training or trail preparation.
Are Garmin watch bands compatible with all models?
No, compatibility depends on the watch's attachment system, like Quick Release or QuickFit. You need to check the size and system indicated on the watch's product page before choosing a replacement band.
What's the difference between running gloves and trail gloves?
Running gloves prioritise lightness and breathability for short or fast-paced outings. Gloves used for trail running are often thicker or more covering, designed to protect your hands over longer outings and in changing weather conditions.
Can a running headband or gloves be used outside of running?
Yes, these accessories can be used for fitness, weight training, or trail running, as they primarily cater to a need for comfort during exercise rather than being specific to one activity. The choice of model mainly depends on the intensity and duration of the session.
