Arrow Pro
The Red Tape Arrow Pro is a well-built budget stability shoe for beginners with flat feet or overpronation who walk and jog up to 10–15 km. Under ₹1,500 it is worth the money, but it is not a springy long-run shoe.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you want a springy, bouncy shoe for regular long runs.
