| 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 | Light, about 250 g · Good build quality and stitching · Thick, hard outsole for durability · Soft step-in feel |
| 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 | Cheap, dead midsole with no impact protection · Softness comes only from the insole and padding · Marketed as ETPU when it is not · Caused knee pain even on soft ground |
| Avoid if | You have weak ankles or calves, overpronate, or run faster than 6:00/km or more than 10 km. | You want to start running seriously, or you weigh over 85 kg. |
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.

Hypercushion 06
Please do not buy the Hypercushion 06 for running. The midsole is a cheap, dead foam that does not protect you from impact, so use it only for walking or casual wear.
Avoid if: You want to start running seriously, or you weigh over 85 kg.
