Footasylum publishes its discounts on its own page, which makes this simple: students get 15% off, or 20% on orders over £100 (full-price items only), and key workers get the same. Cashback is the other lever — 4.2% on full price, 2.1% on sale items, and 2.1% if you use a listed voucher code — with the listing headlined at up to 8% when I checked, which looks like a temporary boost. Here's which combination pays on a pair of trainers.
Disclosure: cashback links here are my referral links — free for you (you get a £10 bonus). I haven't bought from Footasylum through cashback; my trainer rows are adidas and Sports Direct. Rates are as listed on the day.
Footasylum discounts (from Footasylum's own discount-codes page)

Cashback at Footasylum — three tiers
| Purchase | TopCashback |
|---|---|
| Full-price items | 4.2% (headline "up to 8%" on the day — likely a boost) |
| Sale items | 2.1% |
| Purchases using a listed voucher code | 2.1% |
| Excluded | Gift cards; in-store purchases; app purchases; unlisted codes |
| Calculated on | Net price — VAT and delivery excluded |
| Member rating | 3.0 (157 reviews) |
The key detail: using a code halves your rate but doesn't zero it — provided the code is listed on TopCashback. Unlisted codes get you declined.
£120 trainers — the sums
| Route | Saving |
|---|---|
| Student/key worker 20% (over £100) | £24 off now |
| Same, if the code is listed on TopCashback | £24 + 2.1% of ~£80 net ≈ £25.70 |
| No discount, full price, cashback 4.2% | ~£4.20 (on £100 net) |
| Same during an 8% boost | ~£8 |
| Sale pair at £80, cashback 2.1% | ~£1.40 |
If you qualify for the 15–20%, take it; cashback is a small extra at best. If you don't, the boost windows are when Footasylum cashback is worth planning around.
The stack

- Students / key workers: apply your code. Listed → 2.1% on top. Unlisted → discount only (still the better deal).
- Pay by card, not gift card; keep the order confirmation.
Same trainers, other stores: my Sports Direct and adidas rows tracked; JD Sports and schuh have their own code-vs-cashback rules — worth a two-minute comparison before checkout.

Is there a discount code for Footasylum? Student and key worker codes (15–20%), occasional 10% sign-up codes, and sale pricing without a code. Cashback of 4.2% (full price) applies when you don't use an unlisted code.
