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: Avoid it if you have weak ankles or calves, past injuries there, overpronate, or run faster than 6:00/km or more than 10 km.

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.
