My verdicts
Abros
Scorch
This is the worst shoe I have run in recently. It gives neither impact protection nor energy return, so I will not recommend it for running, only for walking or casual wear.
Avoid if: You plan to run more than 2 to 3 km a day.

At ₹2,000 this is an Adidas I really like for absolute beginners who want one shoe for walking, gym, occasional jogging and casual wear. It is not for serious runners, and I place it at B-, between B and C.
Avoid if: You have weak ankles or calves, overpronate, or run faster than 6:00/km or more than 10 km.
