What reviewers say
RTINGS, which buys and tests shoes itself, reviewed the Kipstorm Challenger in July 2026 (updated 2 November 2026). It scored 8.2 for half and full marathon racing, 7.7 for 5K and 10K racing, 7.5 for long runs and 6.3 for daily training. RTINGS likes the protective cushioning over longer efforts, the energy return and the light feel. The downsides: the soft forefoot makes push-off less secure, it can be hard to control when you’re tired, and the plated design is too aggressive and unstable for relaxed easy runs. In other words, it’s a race and speed-session shoe more than an everyday trainer. Decathlon’s own site shows 4.8 out of 5 from 2,339 customer reviews (9 November 2026).
