My verdicts
Adidas
Supernova Rise 2
Of about 20 beginner-friendly daily trainers I tested between ₹10,000 and ₹20,000, this one suited me best. Under ₹8,000 it is one of the best value-for-money shoes you will ever get.
Avoid if: You want a bouncy, springy shoe for faster running.

Winflo 12
The best budget Nike in years: a wide, stable, protective daily trainer for beginners and slow runners, and a superb walking and casual shoe.
Avoid if: You want a soft, bouncy shoe for faster running, or you mostly run on rough tarmac in the wet.
