Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Foot Locker, Inc. and its domestic and international subsidiaries (the “Company”), all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
	Reporting Year
	The fiscal year end for the Company is the Saturday closest to the last day in January. Fiscal year 2013 represents the 52 weeks ending February 1, 2014. Fiscal years 2012 and 2011 represent the 53 week period ending February 2, 2013, and the 52 week period ending January 28, 2012, respectively. References to years in this annual report relate to fiscal years rather than calendar years.
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue from retail stores is recognized at the point of sale when the product is delivered to customers. Internet and catalog sales revenue is recognized upon estimated receipt by the customer. Sales include shipping and handling fees for all periods presented. Sales include merchandise, net of returns, and exclude taxes. The Company provides for estimated returns based on return history and sales levels. Revenue from layaway sales is recognized when the customer receives the product, rather than when the initial deposit is paid.
	Gift Cards
	The Company sells gift cards to its customers, which do not have expiration dates. Revenue from gift card sales is recorded when the gift cards are redeemed or when the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote and there is no legal obligation to remit the value of unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions, referred to as breakage. The Company has determined its gift card breakage rate based upon historical redemption patterns. Historical experience indicates that after 12 months the likelihood of redemption is deemed to be remote. Gift card breakage income is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled $4 million, $3 million, and $4 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Unredeemed gift cards are recorded as a current liability.
	Store Pre-Opening and Closing Costs
	Store pre-opening costs are charged to expense as incurred. In the event a store is closed before its lease has expired, the estimated post-closing lease exit costs, less any sublease rental income, is provided for once the store ceases to be used.
	Advertising Costs and Sales Promotion
	Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed at the time the advertising or promotion takes place, net of reimbursements for cooperative advertising. Advertising expenses also include advertising costs as required by some of the Company’s mall-based leases. Cooperative advertising reimbursements earned for the launch and promotion of certain products agreed upon with vendors are recorded in the same period as the associated expenses are incurred.
	Reimbursement received in excess of expenses incurred related to specific, incremental, and identifiable advertising costs, is accounted for as a reduction to the cost of merchandise, which is reflected in cost of sales as the merchandise is sold.
	Advertising costs, which are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, were as follows:
		2013		2012			2011
		(in millions)
	Advertising expenses	$	124	$	132		$	121
	Cooperative advertising reimbursements		-22		(25	)		(22	)
	Net advertising expense	$	102	$	107		$	99
	Catalog Costs
	Catalog costs, which primarily comprise paper, printing, and postage, are capitalized and amortized over the expected customer response period related to each catalog, which is generally 90 days. Cooperative reimbursements earned for the promotion of certain products are agreed upon with vendors and are recorded in the same period as the associated catalog expenses are amortized. Prepaid catalog costs totaled $3 million and $4 million at February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, respectively.
	Catalog costs, which are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, were as follows:
		2013		2012			2011
		(in millions)
	Catalog costs	$	36	$	45		$	44
	Cooperative reimbursements		-5		(6	)		(5	)
	Net catalog expense	$	31	$	39		$	39
	Earnings Per Share
	The Company accounts for and discloses earnings per share using the treasury stock method. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing reported net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Restricted stock awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, are considered participating securities and are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic earnings per share computation plus dilutive common stock equivalents.
	The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:
		2013		2012			2011
		(in millions, except per share data)
	Net income	$	429	$	397		$	278
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding		148.4		151.2			153
	Basic earnings per share	$	2.89	$	2.62		$	1.81
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding		148.4		151.2			153
	Dilutive effect of potential common shares		2.1		2.8			1.4
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution		150.5		154			154.4
	Diluted earnings per share	$	2.85	$	2.58		$	1.8
	Potential common shares include the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units. Options to purchase 1.0 million, 0.8 million, and 3.8 million shares of common stock at February 1, 2014, February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, respectively, were not included in the computations primarily because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive. Contingently issuable shares of 0.2 million, 0.1 million, and 0.9 million stock at February 1, 2014, February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, respectively, have not been included as the vesting conditions have not been satisfied.
	Share-Based Compensation
	The Company recognizes compensation expense in the financial statements for share-based awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for pre-vesting forfeitures and is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards. See Note 22,  Share-Based Compensation,  for information on the assumptions the Company used to calculate the fair value of share-based compensation.
	Upon exercise of stock options, issuance of restricted stock or units, or issuance of shares under the employees stock purchase plan, the Company will issue authorized but unissued common stock or use common stock held in treasury. The Company may make repurchases of its common stock from time to time, subject to legal and contractual restrictions, market conditions, and other factors.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash equivalents at February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013 were $819 million and $841 million, respectively. Cash equivalents include amounts on demand with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, including commercial paper and money market funds. Additionally, amounts due from third-party credit card processors for the settlement of debit and credit card transactions are included as cash equivalents as they are generally collected within three business days.
	Investments
	Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations until a sale transaction occurs or when declines in fair value are deemed to be other-than-temporary. The Company routinely reviews available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis, and when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of a security may not be recoverable, the security is written down to fair value. As of February 1, 2014, the Company held $15 million of available-for-sale securities, which was comprised of $9 million in short-term investments and a $6 million auction rate security. See Note 20, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion of these investments.
	Merchandise Inventories and Cost of Sales
	Merchandise inventories for the Company’s Athletic Stores are valued at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method. Cost for retail stores is determined on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis for domestic inventories and on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis for international inventories. The retail inventory method is commonly used by retail companies to value inventories at cost and calculate gross margins due to its practicality. Under the retail inventory method, cost is determined by applying a cost-to-retail percentage across groupings of similar items, known as departments. The cost-to-retail percentage is applied to ending inventory at its current owned retail valuation to determine the cost of ending inventory on a department basis. The Company provides reserves based on current selling prices when the inventory has not been marked down to market. Merchandise inventories of the Direct-to-Customers business are valued at the lower of cost or market using weighted-average cost, which approximates FIFO. Transportation, distribution center, and sourcing costs are capitalized in merchandise inventories. The Company expenses the freight associated with transfers between its store locations in the period incurred. The Company maintains an accrual for shrinkage based on historical rates.
	Cost of sales is comprised of the cost of merchandise, occupancy, buyers’ compensation, and shipping and handling costs. The cost of merchandise is recorded net of amounts received from vendors for damaged product returns, markdown allowances, and volume rebates, as well as cooperative advertising reimbursements received in excess of specific, incremental advertising expenses. Occupancy includes the amortization of amounts received from landlords for tenant improvements.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Significant additions and improvements to property and equipment are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
	Buildings	Maximum of 50 years
	Leasehold improvements	10 years or term of lease, if shorter
	Furniture, fixtures, and equipment	3 – 10 years
	Software	2 – 7 years
	Maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Major renewals or replacements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated.
	Internal-Use Software Development Costs
	The Company capitalizes certain external and internal computer software and software development costs incurred during the application development stage. The application development stage generally includes software design and configuration, coding, testing, and installation activities. Capitalized costs include only external direct cost of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and devote time to the internal-use software project. Capitalization of such costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, while upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that such expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized software, net of accumulated amortization, is included as a component of property and equipment and was $38 million and $29 million at February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, respectively.
	Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company reviews long-lived tangible and intangible assets with finite lives for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Management’s policy in determining whether an impairment indicator exists, a triggering event, comprises measurable operating performance criteria at the division level, as well as qualitative measures. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results, which are predominately identified from the Company’s strategic long-range plans, in its evaluation of potential store-level impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset with its estimated fair value. The estimation of fair value is measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital. The Company estimates fair value based on the best information available using estimates, judgments, and projections as considered necessary.
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company reviews goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually during the first quarter of its fiscal year or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The review of impairment consists of either using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their respective carrying values or a two-step impairment test, if necessary. If, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is greater than its carrying value, the two-step test is performed. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the excess. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a combination of market and discounted cash flow approaches.
Derivative Financial Instruments
All derivative financial instruments are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. For derivatives designated as a hedge, and effective as part of a hedge transaction, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income/loss or as a basis adjustment to the underlying hedged item and reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings. The effective portion of the gain or loss on hedges of foreign net investments is generally not reclassified to earnings unless the net investment is disposed of.
To the extent derivatives do not qualify or are not designated as hedges, or are ineffective, their changes in fair value are recorded in earnings immediately, which may subject the Company to increased earnings volatility.
Fair Value
The Company categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs.
The Company’s financial assets recorded at fair value are categorized as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized for tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, reduced by a valuation allowance, which is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes net deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize their deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
A taxing authority may challenge positions that the Company adopted in its income tax filings. Accordingly, the Company may apply different tax treatments for transactions in filing its income tax returns than for income tax financial reporting. The Company regularly assesses its tax positions for such transactions and records reserves for those differences when considered necessary. Tax positions are recognized only when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the positions will be sustained upon examination. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured using a probability weighted approach as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon settlement. Whether the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is met for a tax position is a matter of judgment based on the individual facts and circumstances of that position evaluated in light of all available evidence. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet. Provision for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries is made only on those amounts in excess of the funds considered to be permanently reinvested.
Pension and Postretirement Obligations
The discount rate for the U.S. plans is determined by reference to the Bond:Link interest rate model based upon a portfolio of highly rated U.S. corporate bonds with individual bonds that are theoretically purchased to settle the plan’s anticipated cash outflows. The cash flows are discounted to their present value and an overall discount rate is determined. The discount rate selected to measure the present value of the Company’s Canadian benefit obligations was developed by using the plan’s bond portfolio indices, which match the benefit obligations.
Insurance Liabilities
The Company is primarily self-insured for health care, workers’ compensation, and general liability costs. Accordingly, provisions are made for the Company’s actuarially determined estimates of discounted future claim costs for such risks, for the aggregate of claims reported and claims incurred but not yet reported. Self-insured liabilities totaled $11 million and $14 million at February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, respectively. The Company discounts its workers’ compensation and general liability reserves using a risk-free interest rate. Imputed interest expense related to these liabilities was not significant for 2013, 2012, and 2011.
Accounting for Leases
The Company recognizes rent expense for operating leases as of the possession date for store leases or the commencement of the agreement for a non-store lease. Rental expense, inclusive of rent holidays, concessions, and tenant allowances are recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Contingent payments based upon sales and future increases determined by inflation related indices cannot be estimated at the inception of the lease and accordingly, are charged to operations as incurred.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s international operations is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the weighted-average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The unearned gains and losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2013-02,  Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income  (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 amended existing guidance by requiring additional disclosure either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The provisions of this new guidance were effective prospectively as of the beginning of 2013. Accordingly, enhanced footnote disclosure is included in Note 17,  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 had no effect on our results of operations or financial position.
Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition	'
	2.  Acquisition
	Effective July 7, 2013, the Company acquired 100 percent of the shares of Runners Point Warenhandelsgesellschaft mbH, (“Runners Point Group”) a specialty athletic store and online retailer based in Recklinghausen, Germany. The aggregate purchase price paid for the acquisition was $87 million in cash, subject to adjustment for finalization of the purchase price for working capital adjustments. At the date of acquisition, Runners Point Group operated 194 stores in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. Additionally, there were 24 Runners Point Group franchise stores operating in Germany and Switzerland. The acquisition is intended to enhance the Company’s position in Germany and also provide additional banners to further diversify and expand the Company’s European business. Also, the addition of the strong digital capabilities of Tredex, the e-commerce subsidiary of Runners Point Group, allows for the potential of accelerated e-commerce growth in Europe.
	The results of Runners Point Group are included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.
	The following table summarizes allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired, based on the exchange rate in effect at the date of our acquisition of Runners Point Group. The Company has allocated the purchase price, in part, upon internal estimates of cash flows and considering the report of a third-party valuation expert retained to assist the Company.

	3.  Segment Information
	The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on its method of internal reporting. As of February 1, 2014, the Company has two reportable segments, Athletic Stores and Direct-to-Customers. The accounting policies of both segments are the same as those described in the  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  note. The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is division results. Division profit reflects income before income taxes, corporate expense, non-operating income, and net interest expense.
	As discussed in detail in Note 2,  Acquisition, the Company acquired Runners Point Group during the second quarter of 2013. Sales and division results for the Runners Point Group stores, including Runners Point, Sidestep and Run2, are included in the Athletic Stores segment since the date of acquisition. Sales and division results for Tredex, a direct-to-customers subsidiary of Runners Point Group, are included in the Direct-to-Customers segment since the date of acquisition.

	CCS Store Closure Costs
	During 2013, the Company recorded $2 million of store closing costs, primarily related to lease buy-out expenses, resulting from the decision to close the 22 CCS store locations.
	Impairment of Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets that are determined to have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives and are measured for impairment only when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment if impairment indicators arise and, at a minimum, annually. We estimate the fair value based on an income approach using the relief-from-royalty method. During the fourth quarters of 2012 and 2011, the Company determined that triggering events had occurred related to its CCS intangible assets, which is part of the Direct-to-Customers segment, reflecting decreases in projected revenues. The 2012 charge also reflected a decrease in the assumed royalty rate as a result of lower profitability. No impairment charges related to intangible assets were recorded during 2013.
	Impairment of Long-lived Assets
	During 2012, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $5 million to write-down long-lived assets at its CCS division. This impairment charge was recorded to fully impair the CCS stores net book value as a result of the Company’s decision to close all 22 of its locations during 2013.

	As of February 1, 2014, in connection with the allocation of the purchase price of the Runners Point Group acquisition, the Company recognized $30 million of indefinite life intangible assets for the Runners Point Group tradenames. Also as a result of the purchase price allocation, $5 million was recognized for favorable leases in 15 locations with rents below their fair value, which are being amortized over a weighted-average life of 6 years.
	Amortizing intangible assets primarily represent lease acquisition costs, which are amounts that are required to secure prime lease locations and other lease rights, primarily in Europe. During 2013, additions of $2 million were recorded primarily from new leases in Europe. Amortization expense for intangibles subject to amortization was $11 million, $14 million, and $16 million for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility	'
	13.  Revolving Credit Facility
	On January 27, 2012, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “2011 Restated Credit Agreement”) with its banks. The 2011 Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $200 million asset based revolving credit facility maturing on January 27, 2017. In addition, during the term of the 2011 Restated Credit Agreement, the Company may make up to four requests for additional credit commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200 million. Interest is based on the LIBOR rate in effect at the time of the borrowing plus a 1.25 to 1.50 percent margin depending on certain provisions as defined in the 2011 Restated Credit Agreement.
	The 2011 Restated Credit Agreement provides for a security interest in certain of the Company’s domestic assets, including certain inventory assets, but excluding intellectual property. The Company is not required to comply with any financial covenants as long as there are no outstanding borrowings. With regard to the payment of dividends and share repurchases, there are no restrictions if the Company is not borrowing and the payments are funded through cash on hand. If the Company is borrowing, Availability as of the end of each fiscal month during the subsequent projected six fiscal months following the payment must be at least 20 percent of the lesser of the Aggregate Commitments and the Borrowing Base (all terms as defined in the 2011 Restated Credit Agreement). The Company’s management does not currently expect to borrow under the facility in 2014, other than amounts used to support standby letters of credit.
	At February 1, 2014, the Company had unused domestic lines of credit of $199 million, while $1 million was committed to support standby letters of credit. The letters of credit are primarily used for insurance programs.
	Deferred financing fees are amortized over the life of the facility on a straight-line basis, which is comparable to the interest method. The unamortized balance at February 1, 2014 is $2 million.
	The quarterly facility fees paid on the unused portion was 0.25 percent for both 2013 and 2012. There were no short-term borrowings during 2013 or 2012. Interest expense, including facility fees, related to the revolving credit facility was $1 million for both 2013 and 2012, and $4 million for 2011.

	16. Leases
	The Company is obligated under operating leases for almost all of its store properties. Some of the store leases contain renewal options with varying terms and conditions. Management expects that in the normal course of business, expiring leases will generally be renewed or, upon making a decision to relocate, replaced by leases on other premises. Operating lease periods generally range from 5 to 10 years. Certain leases provide for additional rent payments based on a percentage of store sales. Most of the Company’s leases require the payment of certain executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and other costs in addition to the future minimum lease payments. These costs, including the amortization of lease rights, totaled $128 million in both 2013 and 2012, and $130 million in 2011. Included in the amounts below, are non-store expenses that totaled $16 million in both 2013 and 2012, and $17 million in 2011.

	The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit. Audits can involve complex issues that may require an extended period of time to resolve. A taxing authority may challenge positions that the Company has adopted in its income tax filings. Accordingly, the Company may apply different tax treatments for transactions in filing its income tax returns than for income tax financial reporting. The Company regularly assesses its tax positions for such transactions and records reserves for those differences.
	The Company’s U.S. Federal income tax filings have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service through 2012. The Company is participating in the IRS’s Compliance Assurance Process (“CAP”) for 2013, which is expected to conclude during 2014. The Company has started the CAP for 2014. Due to the recent utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, the Company is subject to state and local tax examinations effectively including years from 1996 to the present. To date, no adjustments have been proposed in any audits that will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
	As of February 1, 2014, the Company has a valuation allowance of $6 million to reduce its deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. A valuation allowance of $3 million relates to the deferred tax assets arising from a capital loss associated with the 2008 impairment of the Northern Group note receivable. The Company does not anticipate realizing capital gains to utilize this loss. In connection with the acquisition of Runners Point Group, the Company provided a full valuation allowance of $2 million against the historical loss incurred by its branches in the Netherlands and Austria. Under German tax rules, these losses are not deductible against the entity’s German profits. Based on the history of losses and the absence of prudent and feasible business plans for generating future taxable income in the Netherlands and Austria, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit of these historical loss carryforwards will not be realized. Additionally, the Company recorded an unrealized loss related to its investment in an auction rate security. This loss, if and when recognized for tax purposes, would be a capital loss. The Company has not identified any reliable sources of future capital gain that would be generated to absorb this potential loss. In recognition of this risk, the Company has a valuation allowance of $1 million for any loss that would be recognized upon disposition of this security.
	Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income, which are based upon the Company’s strategic long-range plans, over the periods in which the temporary differences are anticipated to reverse, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the valuation allowances at February 1, 2014. However, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted in the future if estimates of taxable income are revised.
	At February 1, 2014, the Company has state operating loss carryforwards with a potential tax benefit of $3 million that expire between 2014 and 2033. The Company will have, when realized, a capital loss with a potential benefit of $3 million arising from a note receivable. This loss will carryforward for 5 years after realization. The Company has U.S. state credits of $1 million that expire in 2023. The Company has Canadian provincial credit carryforwards of $1 million expiring between 2016 and 2017. The Company has international operating loss carryforwards with a potential tax benefit of $4 million, a portion of which will expire between 2014 and 2033 and a portion of which will never expire.
	At February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, the Company had $48 million and $54 million, respectively of gross unrecognized tax benefits, and $46 million and $52 million, respectively, of net unrecognized tax benefits that would, if recognized, affect the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The Company has classified certain income tax liabilities as current or noncurrent based on management’s estimate of when these liabilities will be settled. Interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax expense. The Company recognized $1 million of interest income, in 2013 and 2012, and $1 million of interest expense in 2011. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties was $2 million, $3 million, and $4 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
	The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits:
	2013		2012			2011
	(in millions)
Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year	$	54	$	65		$	62
Foreign currency translation adjustments		-4		1			(1	)
Increases related to current year tax positions		3		4			7
Increases related to prior period tax positions		4		3			1
Decreases related to prior period tax positions		-2		(3	)		—
Settlements		-7		(15	)		(3	)
Lapse of statute of limitations		—		(1	)		(1	)
Unrecognized tax benefits at end of year	$	48	$	54		$	65
It is reasonably possible that the liability associated with the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease within the next twelve months. These changes may be the result of foreign currency fluctuations, ongoing audits or the expiration of statutes of limitations. Settlements could increase earnings in an amount ranging from $0 to $5 million based on current estimates. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. Although management believes that adequate provision has been made for such issues, the ultimate resolution could have an adverse effect on the earnings of the Company. Conversely, if these issues are resolved favorably in the future, the related provision would be reduced, generating a positive effect on earnings. Due to the uncertainty of amounts and in accordance with its accounting policies, the Company has not recorded any potential impact of these settlements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments and Risk Management	'
	19.  Financial Instruments and Risk Management
	The Company operates internationally and utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to mitigate its foreign currency exposures, primarily related to third-party and intercompany forecasted transactions. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate this counterparty credit risk, the Company has a practice of entering into contracts only with major financial institutions selected based upon their credit ratings and other financial factors. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of counterparties throughout the duration of the derivative instrument. Additional information is contained within Note 20,  Fair Value Measurements.
	Derivative Holdings Designated as Hedges
	For a derivative to qualify as a hedge at inception and throughout the hedged period, the Company formally documents the nature of the hedged items and the relationships between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, and the methods of assessing hedge effectiveness and ineffectiveness. In addition, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the significant characteristics and expected terms of a forecasted transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that each forecasted transaction would occur. If it were deemed probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument would be recognized in earnings immediately. No such gains or losses were recognized in earnings for any of the periods presented. Derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period, which management evaluates periodically.
	The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed are the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar. For option and foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory, the effective portion of gains and losses is deferred as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) and is recognized as a component of cost of sales when the related inventory is sold. The amount reclassified to cost of sales related to such contracts was not significant for any of the periods presented. The effective portion of gains or losses associated with other forward contracts is deferred as a component of AOCL until the underlying transaction is reported in earnings. The ineffective portion of gains and losses related to cash flow hedges recorded to earnings was also not significant for any of the periods presented. When using a forward contract as a hedging instrument, the Company excludes the time value of the contract from the assessment of effectiveness. For all years presented, the Company had not hedged forecasted transactions for more than the next twelve months, and the Company expects all derivative-related amounts reported in AOCL to be reclassified to earnings within twelve months. During 2013, the net change in the fair value of the foreign exchange derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges of the purchase of inventory resulted in a loss of $5 million and therefore increased AOCL. At February 1, 2014 there was a $2 million loss included in AOCL.
	The notional value of the contracts outstanding at February 1, 2014 was $70 million and these contracts extend through January 2015.
	Derivative Holdings Designated as Non-Hedges
	The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge foreign-currency denominated merchandise purchases and intercompany transactions that are not designated as hedges. The net change in fair value was $1 million for 2013 and was not significant in any of the other periods presented. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at February 1, 2014 was $42 million and these contracts extend through June 2014.
	Additionally, the Company enters into diesel fuel forward contracts to mitigate a portion of the Company’s freight expense due to the variability caused by fuel surcharges imposed by our third-party freight carriers. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings immediately. The effect was not significant for any of the periods presented. The notional value of the contracts outstanding at February 1, 2014 was not significant.
	Fair Value of Derivative Contracts
	The following represents the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts. Many of the Company’s agreements allow for a netting arrangement. The following is presented on a gross basis, by type of contract:

	Notional Values and Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
	The table below presents the notional amounts for all outstanding derivatives and the weighted-average exchange rates of foreign exchange forward contracts at February 1, 2014:
		Contract Value (U.S. in millions)			Weighted-Average Exchange Rate

	Buy €/Sell British £		12			0.8449
	Buy US/Sell CAD $		2			1.0717
	Business Risk
	The retailing business is highly competitive. Price, quality, selection of merchandise, reputation, store location, advertising, and customer service are important competitive factors in the Company’s business. The Company operates in 23 countries and purchased approximately 88 percent of its merchandise in 2013 from its top 5 vendors. In 2013, the Company purchased approximately 68 percent of its athletic merchandise from one major vendor, Nike, Inc. (“Nike”), and approximately 15 percent from another major vendor. Each of our operating divisions is highly dependent on Nike; they individually purchased 39 to 80 percent of their merchandise from Nike.
	Included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at February 1, 2014, are the net assets of the Company’s European operations, which total $869 million and which are located in 19 countries, 11 of which have adopted the euro as their functional currency.

	Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, in other comprehensive income, unless unrealized losses are determined to be other than temporary.
	Short-term investments represent corporate bonds with maturity dates within one year from the purchase date. These securities are valued using model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets and therefore are classified as Level 2 instruments.
	The fair value of the auction rate security is determined by using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and accordingly is classified as a Level 2 instrument.
	The Company’s derivative financial instruments are valued using market-based inputs to valuation models. These valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, and measures of volatility.
	Additionally, in connection with the acquisition and purchase price allocation of Runners Point Group, the Company recognized its assets and liabilities at fair value. See Note 2,  Acquisition, for further discussion and additional disclosures. All amounts are recognized as Level 3.
	There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets and liabilities for any of the periods presented.
	The carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt and obligations under capital leases were as follows:

These were existing agreements primarily related to the financing of certain store fixtures. As of February 1, 2014, $8 million is included in the amounts above.
	The fair value of long-term debt is determined by using model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets and therefore is classified as Level 2.
	The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and other current receivables and payables approximate their fair value.

	Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
	The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering certain of its North American employees, which are funded in accordance with the provisions of the laws where the plans are in effect. In connection with the acquisition of Runners Point Group, the Company acquired certain pension obligations. In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company sponsors postretirement medical and life insurance plans, which are available to most of its retired U.S. employees. These plans are contributory and are not funded. The measurement date of the assets and liabilities is the last day of the fiscal year.
	The following tables set forth the plans’ changes in benefit obligations and plan assets, funded status, and amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, measured at February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013:

	As of February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, the Canadian qualified pension plan’s assets exceeded its accumulated benefit obligation.
	Information for pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets is as follows:
			2013			2012

	Projected benefit obligation		$	603		$	625
	Accumulated benefit obligation			603			625
	Fair value of plan assets			575			585
	The following tables set forth the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss (pre-tax) at February 1, 2014:
			Pension			Postretirement Benefits
			Benefits

	Net actuarial loss (gain) at beginning of year		$	426		$	(16	)
	Amortization of net (loss) gain			(17	)		3
	(Gain) loss arising during the year			(5	)		—
	Foreign currency fluctuations			(5	)		—
	Net actuarial loss (gain) at end of year(1)		$	399		$	(13	)
	Net prior service cost at end of year(1)			1			—
	Total amount recognized		$	400		$	(13	)
		-1	The net prior service cost did not change during the year. The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss that are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost (income) during the next year are approximately $16 million and $(3) million related to the pension and postretirement plans, respectively.
	The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the benefit obligations under the plans:
			Pension Benefits						Postretirement Benefits
			2013			2012			2013			2012
	Discount rate			4.32%			3.79	%		4.20%			3.7	%
	Rate of compensation increase			3.69%			3.68	%
	Pension expense is actuarially calculated annually based on data available at the beginning of each year. The expected return on plan assets is determined by multiplying the expected long-term rate of return on assets by the market-related value of plan assets for the U.S. qualified pension plan and market value for the Canadian qualified pension plan. The market-related value of plan assets is a calculated value that recognizes investment gains and losses in fair value related to equities over three or five years, depending on which computation results in a market-related value closer to market value. Market-related value for the U.S. qualified plan was $579 million and $550 million for 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Assumptions used in the calculation of net benefit cost include the discount rate selected and disclosed at the end of the previous year as well as other assumptions detailed in the table below:
			Pension Benefits									Postretirement Benefits
			2013			2012			2011			2013			2012			2011
	Discount rate			3.79%			4.16	%		4.99	%		3.70%			4	%		4.6	%
Rate of compensation increase			3.69%			3.68	%		3.69	%
Expected long-term rate of return on assets			6.24%			6.63	%		6.59	%
The expected long-term rate of return on invested plan assets is based on the plans’ weighted-average target asset allocation, as well as historical and future expected performance of those assets. The target asset allocation is selected to obtain an investment return that is sufficient to cover the expected benefit payments and to reduce future contributions by the Company.
The components of net benefit expense (income) are:
		Pension Benefits									Postretirement Benefits
		2013			2012			2011			2013			2012			2011

Beginning with 2001, new retirees were charged the expected full cost of the medical plan and then-existing retirees will incur 100 percent of the expected future increases in medical plan costs. Any changes in the health care cost trend rates assumed would not affect the accumulated benefit obligation or net benefit income, since retirees will incur 100 percent of such expected future increase.
The Company maintains a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which is an unfunded plan that includes provisions for the continuation of medical and dental insurance benefits to certain executive officers and other key employees of the Company (“SERP Medical Plan”). The SERP Medical Plan’s accumulated projected benefit obligation at February 1, 2014 was approximately $11 million.
The following initial and ultimate cost trend rate assumptions were used to determine the benefit obligations under the SERP Medical Plan:
		Medical Trend Rate									Dental Trend Rate

Plan Assets
During 2013, the target composition of the Company’s U.S. plan assets was 40 percent equity and 60 percent fixed-income securities. The Company may alter the targets from time to time depending on market conditions and the funding requirements of the pension plan. This current asset allocation will limit volatility with regard to the funded status of the plan, but will result in higher pension expense due to the lower long-term rate of return associated with fixed-income securities. Due to market conditions and other factors, actual asset allocations may vary from the target allocation outlined above. The Company believes that plan assets are invested in a prudent manner with an objective of providing a total return that, over the long term, provides sufficient assets to fund benefit obligations, taking into account the Company’s expected contributions and the level of risk deemed appropriate. The Company’s investment strategy seeks to utilize asset classes with differing rates of return, volatility, and correlation in order to reduce risk by providing diversification relative to equities. Diversification within asset classes is also utilized to ensure that there are no significant concentrations of risk in plan assets and to reduce the effect that the return on any single investment may have on the entire portfolio.
The target composition of the Company’s Canadian plan assets is 95 percent debt securities and 5 percent equity. The Company believes that plan assets are invested in a prudent manner with the same overall objective and investment strategy as noted above for the U.S. pension plan. The bond portfolio is comprised of government and corporate bonds chosen to match the duration of the pension plan’s benefit payment obligations. This current asset allocation will limit future volatility with regard to the funded status of the plan. This allocation has resulted in higher pension expense due to the lower long-term rate of return associated with fixed-income securities.
The assets related to the Runners Point Group pension plans were not significant.
Valuation of Investments
Significant portions of plan assets are invested in commingled trust funds. These funds are valued at the net asset value of units held by the plan at year end. Stocks traded on U.S. security exchanges are valued at closing market prices on the measurement date.

During 2013, the Company made contributions of $2 million to its Canadian qualified pension plans. The Company continuously evaluates the amount and timing of any future contributions. The Company expects to contribute $2 million in 2014 to the Canadian qualified plan. Additional contributions will depend on the plan asset performance and other factors. During 2013, the Company also paid $3 million in pension benefits related to its non-qualified pension plans.

Savings Plans
The Company has two qualified savings plans, a 401(k) Plan that is available to employees whose primary place of employment is the U.S., and an 1165(e) Plan that is available to employees whose primary place of employment is in Puerto Rico. Both plans require that the employees have attained at least the age of twenty-one and have completed one year of service consisting of at least 1,000 hours in order to participate. As of January 1, 2014, the savings plans allow eligible employees to contribute up to 40 percent (maximum of $17,500) for the U.S. plan and $15,000 for the Puerto Rico plan of their compensation on a pre-tax basis. The Company matches 25 percent of the first 4 percent of the employees’ contributions with Company stock and such matching Company contributions are vested incrementally over the first 5 years of participation for both plans. The charge to operations for the Company’s matching contribution was $3 million in both 2013 and 2012 and $2 million in 2011.

	22.  Share-Based Compensation
	Stock Awards
	Under the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Stock Plan”), stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, or other stock-based awards may be granted to officers and other employees of the Company, including its subsidiaries and operating divisions worldwide. Nonemployee directors are also eligible to receive awards under this plan. Options for employees become exercisable in substantially equal annual installments over a three-year period, beginning with the first anniversary of the date of grant of the option, unless a shorter or longer duration is established at the time of the option grant. Options for nonemployee directors become exercisable one year from the date of grant. On May 19, 2010, the 2007 Stock Plan was amended to increase the maximum number of shares of stock reserved for all awards to 12,000,000. The options terminate up to ten years from the date of grant.
	Employees Stock Purchase Plan
	In 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Foot Locker Employees Stock Purchase Plan (“2013 ESPP”), whose terms are substantially the same as the 2003 Employees Stock Purchase Plan (“2003 ESPP”). Under the 2013 ESPP participating employees are able to contribute up to 10 percent of their annual compensation, not to exceed $25,000 in any plan year, through payroll deductions to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at 85 percent of the lower market price on one of two specified dates in each plan year. Under the 2013 ESPP, 3,000,000 shares of common stock will be available for purchase beginning June 2014. Under the 2003 ESPP, 775 participating employees purchased 133,077 shares in 2013, and 943 participating employees purchased 218,362 shares in 2012. To date, a total of 1,629,484 shares have been purchased under the 2003 ESPP and no further shares may be issued under this plan.
	Share-Based Compensation Expense
	Total compensation expense related to the Company’s share-based compensation plans was $25 million, $20 million, and $18 million for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The associated tax benefits recognized for 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $8 million, $6 million, and $6 million, respectively. Tax deductions in excess of the cumulative compensation cost recognized for share-based compensation arrangements were $9 million, $11 million, and $5 million for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, and are classified as financing activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
	Valuation Model and Assumptions
	The Company uses a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility.
	The Company estimates the expected term of share-based awards granted using the Company’s historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination patterns, which it believes are representative of future behavior. The expected term for the employee stock purchase plan valuation is based on the length of each purchase period as measured at the beginning of the offering period, which is one year.
	The Company estimates the expected volatility of its common stock at the grant date using a weighted-average of the Company’s historical volatility and implied volatility from traded options on the Company’s common stock. The Company believes that the combination of historical volatility and implied volatility provides a better estimate of future stock price volatility.
	The risk-free interest rate assumption is determined using the Federal Reserve nominal rates for U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. The expected dividend yield is derived from the Company’s historical experience.
	The Company records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate based on its historical pre-vesting forfeiture data. The Company estimates pre-vesting option forfeitures at the time of grant and periodically revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
	The following table shows the Company’s assumptions used to compute the share-based compensation expense:
		Stock Option Plans									Stock Purchase Plan
		2013			2012			2011			2013		2012			2011
	Weighted-average risk free rate of interest		1.02%			1.49	%		2.07	%		0.17%		0.22	%		0.31	%

	Weighted-average fair value	$	10.98		$	10.13		$	5.86		$	5.79	$	6.11		$	3.91
	Compensation expense related to the Company’s stock options and employee stock purchase plan was $12 million, $10 million, and $8 million for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. As of February 1, 2014, there was $8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 0.85 years.

Restricted Stock and Units
Restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and restricted stock units may be awarded to certain officers and key employees of the Company. Awards made to executives outside of the United States and to nonemployee directors are made in the form of restricted stock units. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock provided that the vesting conditions are satisfied. In 2013, 2012, and 2011, there were 1,027,542, 1,254,876, and 1,098,177 restricted stock units outstanding, respectively.
Generally, awards fully vest after the passage of time, typically three years. However, restricted stock unit grants made in connection with the Company’s long-term incentive program vest after the attainment of certain performance metrics and the passage of time. Restricted stock is considered outstanding at the time of grant and the holders have voting rights. Dividends are paid to holders of restricted stock that vest with the passage of time; for performance-based restricted stock, dividends will be accumulated and paid after the performance criteria are met. No dividends are paid on restricted stock units.
Compensation expense is recognized using the fair market value at the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, provided the recipient continues to be employed by the Company. The Company recorded compensation expense related to restricted shares, net of estimated forfeitures, of $13 million, $10 million, and $10 million for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. At February 1, 2014, there was $11 million of total unrecognized compensation cost net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested restricted stock awards.
Restricted share and unit activity is summarized as follows:
	Number of Shares and Units
	2013			2012			2011
	(in thousands)
Outstanding at beginning of year		1,564			2,068			1,759

Aggregate value (in millions)	$	37		$	30		$	30
Weighted-average remaining contractual life (in years)		0.89			0.84			1.19
The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share was $35.03, $30.89, and $20.18 for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The total fair value of awards for which restrictions lapsed was $9 million, $8 million, and $4 million for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Legal Proceedings	'
	23.  Legal Proceedings
	Legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries consist of ordinary, routine litigation, including administrative proceedings, incidental to the business of the Company or businesses that have been sold or disposed of by the Company in past years. These legal proceedings include commercial, intellectual property, customer, environmental, and employment-related claims.
	Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are defendants in a number of lawsuits filed in state and federal courts containing various class action allegations under federal or state wage and hour laws, including allegations concerning unpaid overtime, meal and rest breaks, and uniforms.
	The Company is a defendant in one such case in which plaintiff alleges that the Company permitted unpaid off-the-clock hours in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and state labor laws. The case,  Pereira v. Foot Locker, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in 2007. In his complaint, in addition to unpaid wage and overtime allegations, plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. In 2009, the Court conditionally certified a nationwide collective action. During the course of 2010, notices were sent to approximately 81,888 current and former employees of the Company offering them the opportunity to participate in the class action, and approximately 5,027 have opted in.
	The Company is a defendant in additional purported wage and hour class actions that assert claims similar to those asserted in  Pereira  and seek similar remedies. With the exception of  Hill v. Foot Locker  filed in state court in Illinois,  Kissinger v. Foot Locker  filed in state court of California, and  Cortes v. Foot Locker  filed in federal court of New York, all of these actions were consolidated by the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation with  Pereira  under the caption  In re Foot Locker, Inc. Fair Labor Standards Act and Wage and Hour Litigation.  The consolidated cases are in the discovery stages of proceedings. In  Hill v. Foot Locker,  in May 2011, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion for certification of an opt-out class covering certain Illinois employees only. The Company’s motion for leave to appeal was denied. The Company has had and may in the future have discussions with plaintiffs’ counsel in an attempt to determine whether it will be possible to resolve the consolidated cases and  Hill. Meanwhile, the Company is vigorously defending these class actions. During 2013, in  Ghattas v. Foot Locker,  the court gave final approval to a settlement of the action for an amount that was not material to the results of operations.
	The Company and the Company’s U.S. retirement plan are defendants in a purported class action (Osberg v. Foot Locker, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York) in which the plaintiff alleges that, in connection with the 1996 conversion of the retirement plan to a defined benefit plan with a cash balance formula, the Company and the retirement plan failed to properly advise plan participants of the “wear-away” effect of the conversion. Plaintiff asserted claims for: (a) breach of fiduciary duty under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA); (b) violation of the statutory provisions governing the content of the Summary Plan Description; (c) violation of the notice provision of Section 204(h) of ERISA; and (d) violation of ERISA’s age discrimination provisions. In September 2009, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the Section 204(h) claim and the age discrimination claim. In December 2012, the court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on the remaining two claims, dismissing the action. Plaintiff appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which issued a Summary Order on February 13, 2014 that affirmed the judgment of the District Court in part, and vacated and remanded in part.
	Management does not believe that the outcome of any such legal proceedings pending against the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries, including  In re Foot Locker, Inc. Fair Labor Standards Act and Wage and Hour Litigation,  Hill, Cortes, Kissinger,  and  Osberg, as described above, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations, taken as a whole. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and judgments could be rendered or settlements entered that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or cash flows in a particular period.

	In connection with the sale of various businesses and assets, the Company may be obligated for certain lease commitments transferred to third parties and pursuant to certain normal representations, warranties, or indemnifications entered into with the purchasers of such businesses or assets. Although the maximum potential amounts for such obligations cannot be readily determined, management believes that the resolution of such contingencies will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. The Company is also operating certain stores and making rental payments for which lease agreements are in the process of being negotiated with landlords. Although there is no contractual commitment to make these payments, it is likely that a lease will be executed.
	The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing (other than operating leases entered into in the normal course of business and disclosed above) or unconsolidated special purpose entities. The Company does not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including variable interest entities.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Foot Locker, Inc. and its domestic and international subsidiaries (the “Company”), all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Reporting Year	'
	Reporting Year
	The fiscal year end for the Company is the Saturday closest to the last day in January. Fiscal year 2013 represents the 52 weeks ending February 1, 2014. Fiscal years 2012 and 2011 represent the 53 week period ending February 2, 2013, and the 52 week period ending January 28, 2012, respectively. References to years in this annual report relate to fiscal years rather than calendar years.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue from retail stores is recognized at the point of sale when the product is delivered to customers. Internet and catalog sales revenue is recognized upon estimated receipt by the customer. Sales include shipping and handling fees for all periods presented. Sales include merchandise, net of returns, and exclude taxes. The Company provides for estimated returns based on return history and sales levels. Revenue from layaway sales is recognized when the customer receives the product, rather than when the initial deposit is paid.
Gift Cards	'
	Gift Cards
	The Company sells gift cards to its customers, which do not have expiration dates. Revenue from gift card sales is recorded when the gift cards are redeemed or when the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote and there is no legal obligation to remit the value of unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions, referred to as breakage. The Company has determined its gift card breakage rate based upon historical redemption patterns. Historical experience indicates that after 12 months the likelihood of redemption is deemed to be remote. Gift card breakage income is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled $4 million, $3 million, and $4 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Unredeemed gift cards are recorded as a current liability.
Store Pre-Opening and Closing Costs	'
	Store Pre-Opening and Closing Costs
	Store pre-opening costs are charged to expense as incurred. In the event a store is closed before its lease has expired, the estimated post-closing lease exit costs, less any sublease rental income, is provided for once the store ceases to be used.
Advertising Costs and Sales Promotion	'
	Advertising Costs and Sales Promotion
	Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed at the time the advertising or promotion takes place, net of reimbursements for cooperative advertising. Advertising expenses also include advertising costs as required by some of the Company’s mall-based leases. Cooperative advertising reimbursements earned for the launch and promotion of certain products agreed upon with vendors are recorded in the same period as the associated expenses are incurred.
	Reimbursement received in excess of expenses incurred related to specific, incremental, and identifiable advertising costs, is accounted for as a reduction to the cost of merchandise, which is reflected in cost of sales as the merchandise is sold.
	Advertising costs, which are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, were as follows:
		2013		2012			2011
		(in millions)
	Advertising expenses	$	124	$	132		$	121
	Cooperative advertising reimbursements		-22		(25	)		(22	)
	Net advertising expense	$	102	$	107		$	99
Catalog Costs	'
	Catalog Costs
	Catalog costs, which primarily comprise paper, printing, and postage, are capitalized and amortized over the expected customer response period related to each catalog, which is generally 90 days. Cooperative reimbursements earned for the promotion of certain products are agreed upon with vendors and are recorded in the same period as the associated catalog expenses are amortized. Prepaid catalog costs totaled $3 million and $4 million at February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, respectively.
	Catalog costs, which are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, were as follows:
		2013		2012			2011
		(in millions)
	Catalog costs	$	36	$	45		$	44
	Cooperative reimbursements		-5		(6	)		(5	)
	Net catalog expense	$	31	$	39		$	39
Earnings Per Share	'
	Earnings Per Share
	The Company accounts for and discloses earnings per share using the treasury stock method. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing reported net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Restricted stock awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, are considered participating securities and are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic earnings per share computation plus dilutive common stock equivalents.
	The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:
		2013		2012			2011
		(in millions, except per share data)
	Net income	$	429	$	397		$	278
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding		148.4		151.2			153
	Basic earnings per share	$	2.89	$	2.62		$	1.81
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding		148.4		151.2			153
	Dilutive effect of potential common shares		2.1		2.8			1.4
	Weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution		150.5		154			154.4
	Diluted earnings per share	$	2.85	$	2.58		$	1.8
	Potential common shares include the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units. Options to purchase 1.0 million, 0.8 million, and 3.8 million shares of common stock at February 1, 2014, February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, respectively, were not included in the computations primarily because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive. Contingently issuable shares of 0.2 million, 0.1 million, and 0.9 million stock at February 1, 2014, February 2, 2013, and January 28, 2012, respectively, have not been included as the vesting conditions have not been satisfied.
Share-Based Compensation	'
	Share-Based Compensation
	The Company recognizes compensation expense in the financial statements for share-based awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense includes an estimate for pre-vesting forfeitures and is recognized over the requisite service periods of the awards. See Note 22,  Share-Based Compensation,  for information on the assumptions the Company used to calculate the fair value of share-based compensation.
	Upon exercise of stock options, issuance of restricted stock or units, or issuance of shares under the employees stock purchase plan, the Company will issue authorized but unissued common stock or use common stock held in treasury. The Company may make repurchases of its common stock from time to time, subject to legal and contractual restrictions, market conditions, and other factors.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash equivalents at February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013 were $819 million and $841 million, respectively. Cash equivalents include amounts on demand with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, including commercial paper and money market funds. Additionally, amounts due from third-party credit card processors for the settlement of debit and credit card transactions are included as cash equivalents as they are generally collected within three business days.
Investments	'
	Investments
	Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations until a sale transaction occurs or when declines in fair value are deemed to be other-than-temporary. The Company routinely reviews available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis, and when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of a security may not be recoverable, the security is written down to fair value. As of February 1, 2014, the Company held $15 million of available-for-sale securities, which was comprised of $9 million in short-term investments and a $6 million auction rate security. See Note 20, Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion of these investments.
Merchandise Inventories and Cost of Sales	'
	Merchandise Inventories and Cost of Sales
	Merchandise inventories for the Company’s Athletic Stores are valued at the lower of cost or market using the retail inventory method. Cost for retail stores is determined on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis for domestic inventories and on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis for international inventories. The retail inventory method is commonly used by retail companies to value inventories at cost and calculate gross margins due to its practicality. Under the retail inventory method, cost is determined by applying a cost-to-retail percentage across groupings of similar items, known as departments. The cost-to-retail percentage is applied to ending inventory at its current owned retail valuation to determine the cost of ending inventory on a department basis. The Company provides reserves based on current selling prices when the inventory has not been marked down to market. Merchandise inventories of the Direct-to-Customers business are valued at the lower of cost or market using weighted-average cost, which approximates FIFO. Transportation, distribution center, and sourcing costs are capitalized in merchandise inventories. The Company expenses the freight associated with transfers between its store locations in the period incurred. The Company maintains an accrual for shrinkage based on historical rates.
	Cost of sales is comprised of the cost of merchandise, occupancy, buyers’ compensation, and shipping and handling costs. The cost of merchandise is recorded net of amounts received from vendors for damaged product returns, markdown allowances, and volume rebates, as well as cooperative advertising reimbursements received in excess of specific, incremental advertising expenses. Occupancy includes the amortization of amounts received from landlords for tenant improvements.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Significant additions and improvements to property and equipment are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
	Buildings	Maximum of 50 years
	Leasehold improvements	10 years or term of lease, if shorter
	Furniture, fixtures, and equipment	3 – 10 years
	Software	2 – 7 years
	Maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Major renewals or replacements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated.
Internal-Use Software Development Costs	'
	Internal-Use Software Development Costs
	The Company capitalizes certain external and internal computer software and software development costs incurred during the application development stage. The application development stage generally includes software design and configuration, coding, testing, and installation activities. Capitalized costs include only external direct cost of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and devote time to the internal-use software project. Capitalization of such costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, while upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that such expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized software, net of accumulated amortization, is included as a component of property and equipment and was $38 million and $29 million at February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, respectively.
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company reviews long-lived tangible and intangible assets with finite lives for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Management’s policy in determining whether an impairment indicator exists, a triggering event, comprises measurable operating performance criteria at the division level, as well as qualitative measures. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results, which are predominately identified from the Company’s strategic long-range plans, in its evaluation of potential store-level impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset with its estimated fair value. The estimation of fair value is measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital. The Company estimates fair value based on the best information available using estimates, judgments, and projections as considered necessary.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	The Company reviews goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually during the first quarter of its fiscal year or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The review of impairment consists of either using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their respective carrying values or a two-step impairment test, if necessary. If, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is greater than its carrying value, the two-step test is performed. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the excess. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a combination of market and discounted cash flow approaches.
Derivative Financial Instruments	'
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	All derivative financial instruments are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. For derivatives designated as a hedge, and effective as part of a hedge transaction, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income/loss or as a basis adjustment to the underlying hedged item and reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings. The effective portion of the gain or loss on hedges of foreign net investments is generally not reclassified to earnings unless the net investment is disposed of.
	To the extent derivatives do not qualify or are not designated as hedges, or are ineffective, their changes in fair value are recorded in earnings immediately, which may subject the Company to increased earnings volatility.
Fair Value	'
	Fair Value
	The Company categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs.
	The Company’s financial assets recorded at fair value are categorized as follows:
	Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.
	Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company accounts for its income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized for tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, reduced by a valuation allowance, which is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	The Company recognizes net deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize their deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
	A taxing authority may challenge positions that the Company adopted in its income tax filings. Accordingly, the Company may apply different tax treatments for transactions in filing its income tax returns than for income tax financial reporting. The Company regularly assesses its tax positions for such transactions and records reserves for those differences when considered necessary. Tax positions are recognized only when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the positions will be sustained upon examination. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured using a probability weighted approach as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon settlement. Whether the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is met for a tax position is a matter of judgment based on the individual facts and circumstances of that position evaluated in light of all available evidence. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet. Provision for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries is made only on those amounts in excess of the funds considered to be permanently reinvested.
Pension and Postretirement Obligations	'
	Pension and Postretirement Obligations
	The discount rate for the U.S. plans is determined by reference to the Bond:Link interest rate model based upon a portfolio of highly rated U.S. corporate bonds with individual bonds that are theoretically purchased to settle the plan’s anticipated cash outflows. The cash flows are discounted to their present value and an overall discount rate is determined. The discount rate selected to measure the present value of the Company’s Canadian benefit obligations was developed by using the plan’s bond portfolio indices, which match the benefit obligations.
Insurance Liabilities	'
	Insurance Liabilities
	The Company is primarily self-insured for health care, workers’ compensation, and general liability costs. Accordingly, provisions are made for the Company’s actuarially determined estimates of discounted future claim costs for such risks, for the aggregate of claims reported and claims incurred but not yet reported. Self-insured liabilities totaled $11 million and $14 million at February 1, 2014 and February 2, 2013, respectively. The Company discounts its workers’ compensation and general liability reserves using a risk-free interest rate. Imputed interest expense related to these liabilities was not significant for 2013, 2012, and 2011.
Accounting for Leases	'
	Accounting for Leases
	The Company recognizes rent expense for operating leases as of the possession date for store leases or the commencement of the agreement for a non-store lease. Rental expense, inclusive of rent holidays, concessions, and tenant allowances are recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Contingent payments based upon sales and future increases determined by inflation related indices cannot be estimated at the inception of the lease and accordingly, are charged to operations as incurred.
Foreign Currency Translation	'
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The functional currency of the Company’s international operations is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the weighted-average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The unearned gains and losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	During the first quarter of 2013, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2013-02,  Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income  (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 amended existing guidance by requiring additional disclosure either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The provisions of this new guidance were effective prospectively as of the beginning of 2013. Accordingly, enhanced footnote disclosure is included in Note 17,  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 had no effect on our results of operations or financial position.
	Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
