Help us better design your children's shoes!

At Decathlon, and more particularly within Sports Education, our goal is to offer your children footwear products with the best possible quality/price ratio.

We are continually seeking to improve the quality of our children's shoes. We therefore decided to launch a project to improve the lifespan and durability of our shoes on the one hand, and to be sure that our shoes respect the motor development of your children on the other. We know that our children's shoes are used in many contexts (school sports, everyday life, multi-sport). We therefore need you and your child to learn more about how you buy/use our products and to test some of our prototypes!

In any case, your opinions will be essential and essential for us to improve the lifespan and quality of our products. The results of each stage and your contribution to the project will be communicated to you very regularly.

Thank you in advance for your contribution, as well as that of your child!

Hello dear respondent to the questionnaire on the sustainability of Decathlon children's shoes,

As planned, even if a little late, I will come back to you to give you news following the analyzes that I have been able to make of your responses.

I presented the summary to our design teams yesterday. Your feedback was very useful to us for:

have a clear vision of your level of satisfaction with each of our models in terms of sustainability
have a global vision of where we are currently on our 3 brands (Newfeel, Artengo, Kalenji)
have a clear idea of your expectations in terms of sustainability for children's shoes and the distance we still have to go to fully satisfy you

Now that all this information is known, we want to create a method to scientifically and objectively measure the lifespan of each of our products currently in store and of our future prototypes in development. The end goal is to only keep the most sustainable products in store.

To create this method, we still need YOU and your children. In fact, we will very soon send several of our models for long-term testing to your home so that your children can wear them regularly and so that you, parents, can give us feedback on your level of satisfaction and the wear observed. By linking this field data with different laboratory tests on the same products, we will be able to identify a laboratory method allowing us to faithfully reproduce what you have observed in the field.

If you are interested in continuing to help us in this project, stay connected to the Decathlon Co-Creation platform until the end of the week. I will indeed post an interaction there to allow you to register for these tests.

I remain available if you have any questions.

Very nice day,

Nicolas, Field Test Engineer Decathlon Kids
