We compare Soleback rates at Footdistrict, SNIPES, Solebox, JD Sports and END. The highest headline rate doesn't always pay the most, because sales and releases follow their own rules.
Soleback Team
Of the five sneaker shops in this comparison, Footdistrict pays the highest cashback through Soleback in October 2026: 6.5% of your order. SNIPES and Solebox follow on 4.5%, JD Sports UK and END. pay 3.5%. All rates come from the shop pages on Soleback as of 14 October 2026.
The exceptions matter more than the headline rates. Footdistrict drops to 1% on sale items, Solebox pays 0.5% on hot releases, and END. pays only 0.5% when you use a promo code. If you mostly buy reduced trainers, the best shop for you is not the one at the top of the list.
At all five partners, cashback shows up as pending within 1 to 48 hours of your purchase. You can report a missing transaction within 28 days.
At full price the order is simple: Footdistrict first, SNIPES and Solebox joint second, then JD Sports UK and END. level on 3.5%.
On reduced trainers the picture flips. SNIPES stays on 4.5%, END. falls to 1.5%, and JD Sports UK and Footdistrict both drop to 1%. The leader ends up near the bottom.
On limited releases Solebox pays 0.5%, so for a hyped pair your cashback will be higher at SNIPES or Footdistrict, if they stock the model.
Footdistrict is a Spanish shop with stores in Barcelona and Madrid. On Soleback it has the highest rate of the five: 6.5% on full-price trainers. Accessories such as socks, caps and cleaning kits earn 2%, sale items 1%.
The shop delivers to the UK but does not price in pounds. There is a language selector, not a currency selector, so your bank converts the payment at its own rate. You have 14 days from delivery to return an order, and you pay for the return shipping, which is charged extra from the UK. A return also cancels your cashback.
As Footdistrict ships from Spain, check at checkout whether import VAT and duties are included before you pay.
You can reach Footdistrict through our cashback link.
SNIPES has the simplest rate table of all. One rate, 4.5%, with no split for sale items, accessories or releases. On reduced trainers that is the highest return in this comparison.
Soleback lists SNIPES as a European shop. Its country stores cover EU markets such as Germany, France, Spain and Italy, so before ordering from the UK, check at checkout that it delivers to your address and in which currency you pay.
Solebox is known for collaborations and limited models. Its default rate is 4.5%. For the Hot Release category, Soleback lists 0.5%, nine times less.
From the shop's point of view that makes sense: pairs that sell out in minutes don't need paid traffic. For you it means cashback is not a reason to enter a Solebox raffle. It pays off on ordinary purchases.
Solebox has a UK version of its site with UPS delivery in 3 to 5 working days, but prices there are not shown in pounds. Check the final amount and any import charges at checkout.
You can reach Solebox through our cashback link.
JD Sports UK pays 3.5% through Soleback on full-price items and 1% on sale items. Standard delivery is free, and Next Day Evening delivery costs £6.99.
The same chain pays different rates in different countries. In Poland it is 4% with no cut on sale items, in Germany 3%, in France, Spain and Italy 2.5%. The UK sits in the middle, but its sale rate is one of the lowest.

END. sells premium fashion and trainers and is listed on Soleback under the UK. It pays 3.5% by default, 1.5% on discounted products and 0.5% on orders with a promo code.
The weak spot is time. Cashback approval at END. takes 90 to 150 days, up to five months. A pair bought in mid October may not pay out until March.
On the END. page on Soleback there is a student code for an extra 10% off. With that code, the cashback rate drops to 0.5%. On a £200 order you get £20 off and £0.90 back instead of £7 back without the code. The code wins.
You have 30 days from delivery to return an order.
You can reach END. through our cashback link.
Cashback is usually calculated on the order value after discounts, without delivery. For the two partners that price in pounds:
At Footdistrict, Solebox and SNIPES you pay in a foreign currency, so work out the return from the basket total. At Footdistrict every 100 units of currency earns 6.50 back, at Solebox and SNIPES 4.50.
You can use discount codes from the shop's own site, such as a newsletter code or a promotion banner, and codes from the Soleback site. Cashback is then calculated on the amount after the discount, so a £100 order at JD Sports UK with a 10% code earns 3.5% of £90, which is £3.15.
Two shops in this comparison have a separate, lower rate for orders with a code. At END. it is 0.5% instead of 3.5%, at JD Sports Germany 1% instead of 3%. At END. a small code can cost you more in cashback than it saves, so do the maths before you pay. You can find current codes under promotions.
Sale season is when the ranking turns upside down. Footdistrict falls from 6.5% to 1%, END. from 3.5% to 1.5%, JD Sports UK from 3.5% to 1%. Only SNIPES keeps its rate.
On trainers reduced by half you save a lot on the price itself, but the cashback at Footdistrict or JD becomes a token extra. At SNIPES you still get the full rate on the lower price.
On the hottest releases cashback is usually low or zero. Solebox officially pays 0.5% on them. Other shops don't list a separate category, but with raffle drops the real question is whether you get the pair at all.
If you buy through a raffle, activate cashback before you open the checkout after winning. Without an active Soleback session the purchase won't be tracked.
Only JD Sports UK and END. let you shop in pounds in this comparison. Footdistrict and Solebox price outside sterling, and SNIPES runs its stores for EU countries.
When you pay in a foreign currency, your bank or card may charge a conversion fee. With cashback rates of a few per cent, that fee can eat most of the return, so check your card terms before ordering from Footdistrict or Solebox.
Delivery costs usually don't count towards cashback. Returning a pair cancels the cashback for it, and at Footdistrict you also pay to send it back.
If you're unsure about sizing in a model, it's usually wiser to order where returns are simple, even at a lower rate.
The most common reasons for lost cashback are the same at all five partners:
To avoid forgetting activation, install the Soleback extension, which reminds you on the shop page. New users can also claim the welcome bonus.
Cashback shows up as pending within 1 to 48 hours. It then waits for the shop to approve it once the return window has closed.
At Footdistrict, SNIPES, Solebox and JD Sports this takes 60 to 90 days according to the tables on the shop pages on Soleback. At END. it takes 90 to 150 days. The FAQ on the same pages gives a shorter range of 30 to 90 days, but plan by the table.
If your purchase doesn't show up within 48 hours, report it. You have 28 days to do so. If anything is unclear, the Soleback help centre is the place to ask.
Affiliate rates change several times a year. Before a big purchase, open the shop page on Soleback and check the current rate.
