Running Shoes, Sporty Sunglasses & More: Here Are 5 Things To Pick Up At Decathlon

The information in this post might be outdated

The first thing you notice about Decathlon is the sheer size of it! A warehouse-sized store that stocks sports and fitness equipment, we love Decathlon for the deals they run on clothes, swimsuits and sunglasses.

Just to make your Decathlon experience a little bit easier, and a whole lot quicker, here are the five things to check out when you go there.

Winterwear

In case you didn’t know, Decathlon has an awesome range of athleisure {sports wear that doubles as casual wear} and we aren’t just talking yoga pants and cotton tees. Their collection of fleece zip-ups are awesome for winter evenings even if you don’t plan to go for a run. The cotton sock sets are complete value-for-money.

P.S. Even the sweatshirts and hoodies are usually on sale, at discounted prices.

Sports Shoes

Whether you wear them for running or just feel more comfortable in sneakers, sports shoes are best priced at Decathlon. From ballerina walking shoes for women {that double as shopping and errand shoes} to hiking boots for men, they have it all.

Bottles & Bags

The nylon carry bags with draw strings at Decathlon, in all shapes and sizes, are actually meant for camping and hiking but work just as well for household needs. The same goes for water bottles and sippers and the pricing makes them even more attractive, especially if you’re the type to leave them at the gym or at the office.

Sunglasses

Decathlon doesn’t stock branded sunnies, but the ones available are well-made and stylish. Skip the skiing and hiking sunglasses and check out the ones for running and cycling instead. These are made with moulded plastic for extra durability, but they’re still super sleek.

Home Gym Equipment

Are you a treadmill person? Get extra points off every mile with wrist and ankle weights that are easy-to-wear and come in 3 weights, under a kilo, for both men and women.

Choose from lots of different yoga mats that vary in thickness and material, stability balls and trampolines.
