Decathlon is great for getting cheap sports equipment, of all kinds!, The problem is you often get what you pay for. I love it for picking up stuff where I don't care about how it performs (for example I play social football at work โฝ, and a pair of shin pads from there is super cheap and I really don't care how they function).
However, I definitely care a lot about my climbing shoes. So if you're pretty experienced / you're climbing a lot, I wouldn't recommend Decathlon for climbing shoes. (But that's just me...)
Edit: for the record I believe Decathlon is a French brand, and according to wiki they're in 60 countries! Not just Italy ๐
