M&S’s clearance edit is a mixed-brand fashion and footwear sweep, pulling together big names like Nike, Adidas, New Balance, ASICS and Crocs alongside the sort of everyday staples M&S is known for. Think of it as a one-stop browse that sits between sports retailers’ seasonal markdowns and department-store “last chance” rails — useful if you want trainers and activewear in the same basket as smarter pieces for work, weekends or events.

Who will get the most out of this clearance?

If you’re topping up basics, it’s a good time to look for versatile layers and shoes you’ll actually wear, rather than chasing trend pieces. Sportswear brands can be great for gym kit and casual outfits, while Crocs-style comfort footwear tends to suit holidays, commuting and around-the-house wear.

  • Trainers: check cushioning and sole wear patterns in photos/description if provided, especially for running-focused pairs.
  • Clothing: prioritise fabrics and fits you already know work for you; clearance sizes can be patchy.
  • Occasionwear: scan for classic colours and simple cuts that won’t date quickly.
