The running shoe aisle in any Decathlon store is well worth a stop with its in-house brands, Kalenji and Kiprun, coming on leaps and bounds in recent years, offering lower cost alternatives in both road and trail footwear. Here we share our selection of some of the best running shoes from Decathlon. JOGFLOW 500.1 Men’s Running Shoes – If you haven’t seen our full review, then you can watch that below, but this running shoe impressed our testers and is worth considering if you need something cushioned and flat-feeling on reach for when running that weekly 5k. Kiprun KD 900X…
If you’ve had the chance to read our previous reviews from our builders’ tools and supplies series, then you’ll know that every month we take a close look at a different tools and equipment supplier ToolStation. This time we’ve put ToolStation on trial, to give an unbiased review of the company, and to compare against our criteria that includes Toolstation’s ease of use, features, costs, delivery, reviews, and then give you our unbiased conclusion. Everything from windows to bricks, floor coverings to cement could be handled not by our builders, but by us. Building is still in many ways a closed…

When it comes to travelling interstate, chances are you’ll be looking to line up some transport. While public transport or Uber may prove useful if you don’t have far to travel, if you’re looking to spend some time in a new city, or you’re looking to see a bit of the countryside, a rental car may be the best option for you. But which hire car provider should you choose for your next trip? Budget Australia is one of the more prominent providers available, with over 150 locations nationwide. Operating on a global scale for 60 years, Budget Rent a…
They say the best things come in small packages, but is that true for security cameras? I recently spent some time working with Wyze Cams, a line of super affordable cameras founded by former Amazon employees to find out. We’re going to get into all of the details here, I was impressed with the quality and the long list of features Wyze packed into such a small device. The original Wyze Cam was released back in 2017 and went for only $19.99. This earned them what could be called a cult following, and they were especially loved by folks looking…
Building an ecommerce brand is about way more than products on a store. Today’s online world is one of accessibility, high-competition and dropshippers at every turn. So you’ve got to do something special to stand out. Case in point: Alphalete Athletics.

At just, the Triban RC120 may very well be the least expensive bike we’ve ever reviewed at CyclingTips. But in some ways, it’s also one of the most important bikes we’ve reviewed, too. Its highly attainable pricing is appealing to newcomers curious about road riding, yet with the exception of just one or two details, it punches well above its weight in terms of the performance it delivers. Even better, there’s more than enough tire clearance if you want to run it as a light-duty gravel bike, too. We expected to be underwhelmed by this one, but in the end,…
There are so many different ways to transport yourself when you’re traveling. One that we’ve come to love is to relax on a train and enjoy the scenery. It’s a mode of transportation that we don’t use that much in the U.S. But if you’re visiting Europe, the excellent Rail Europe ticketing and rail-pass sales and distribution system will help you get around in style. We provide you with a Rail Europe review of how the system works and you’ll be able to enjoy all the benefits of ease and comfort that traveling by train in Europe can provide. One…
The big known sports store Decathlon also has its own line of Stand Up Paddle Boards. As these are also quite popular (at least here in the Netherlands/Europe) it was time for me to also try out these boards. I will review the 5 boards that Decathlon has launched all over the world. As it is originally a French company the collection in Europe is bigger than for instance in the US. In Europe they have 10 boards in the collection, in the US and the rest of the world, these are 5 boards. Also in Europe, these boards are…
