| Pros | Plush step-in comfort · Wide, stable platform with side walls · Roomy toe box, usual size works · Great gym and walking shoe · Good value at ₹2,000 | Very soft, comfy tongue · Moderate impact protection · Superb build quality for under ₹2,500 · Suits slightly heavier beginners and walking |
| Cons | Softness disappears when running · Low drop loads ankles and calves · Exposed outsole limits road durability · Not for paces under 6:00/km, long runs or overpronators | Low breathability beyond 5 km · Firm Cloudfoam, high impact when running · Thin outsole with dangerous traction in the wet · Not for fast running or high mileage |
| Avoid if | You have weak ankles or calves, overpronate, or run faster than 6:00/km or more than 10 km. | You run at 4 to 5 min/km, do more than 30 km a week, need soft cushioning for sore knees or hips, have ankle problems, or run on wet roads. |
My verdicts
Adidas
AeroVortexGlide
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.

Galaxy 7
For beginners on a tight budget who walk or run 2 to 5 km, it is one of the options if you find it under ₹2,000. Avoid it for fast running, high mileage, wet roads or if you need soft cushioning.
Avoid if: You run at 4 to 5 min/km, do more than 30 km a week, need soft cushioning for sore knees or hips, have ankle problems, or run on wet roads.
