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: Avoid it if you plan to run more than 2 to 3 km a day.

Cloud-Style Walking Shoe
I would not recommend these for running, but as trendy walking and casual shoes under ₹1,500 they are worth every penny.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you want a shoe for running.
