Action
Athleo Turbo-501
The only shoe here with a truly balanced midsole: soft yet responsive, stable and durable.
Avoid if: You want a light shoe or have wide feet.

Revolution 8
The Revolution 8 is light, breathable and good-looking, but as a running shoe I would not recommend it, and ₹8,000 is far too much. Consider it only under ₹3,000 if you are light, have narrow feet and no back problems.
Avoid if: You are heavy, have wide or even normal-width feet, or have a back injury.
