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.

Aeonic Recovery
The design and materials are top notch for ₹6,000, but the midsole feels flat and dead and the shoe weighs 390 g, so I would not recommend it for running. I am returning it; buy it only for walking and casual wear.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you want a shoe for actual running beyond about 5 km or for any faster running.
