Michel Leclercq founded Decathlon in 1976, starting with a single store in Lille, France. The company is privately held, with the Mulliez family association owning a 51% stake and the Leclercq family the rest. Decathlon entered India in 2009 and sells sportswear, sports gear and its own in-house brands through its stores and website.
We’ve bought, used and rated 887 footwear products so far, 213 of them in Shoes. Products in Shoes average an FA score of 8.1 out of 10. Every score comes from our own testing, never from the brand.
We rate it 8.4/10 (great) after buying and testing it ourselves. What we liked most: Coated Knit Innovation: The upper knitted fabric body features a specialized water-repellent coating layer to ensure complete dryness. Could be better: Absorbent Accent Elements: The standard laces and the minor pull tabs are not waterproofed, causing them to absorb water and feel wet to the touch.

Insole: Padded Foam; Midsole: EVA; Bottom sole: Rubber; Upper material: Knitted + Pu + Suede. See Specifications above for the full details.
We score its comfort 9/10 (excellent), after using it ourselves.

We have bought and tested 16 Decathlon products, and their average FA score is 8.5/10 (great). The best-rated so far is the Decathlon Quechua Breathable Trekking Rain Pant for Men at 9.5/10.
We buy every product ourselves and score it out of 10 on design, material quality, comfort and value for money. The FA score is the average of those scores. No paid placements: brands can’t buy a better score.
