ProsFirm heel counter · Plush heel padding · Comfy upper · Decent arch support · Wider forefoot · DurableVery durable foam – 1,000 km, by my estimate · Highly durable thick rubber outsole · Stiff nylon plate adds stability on a high stack · Built to last for runners over 90 kg · Great value at ₹2,000
ConsThin forefoot cushioningHeavy at 360 g (UK 8) · Feels hard for runners around 72 kg · Thick, poorly breathable upper · Forefoot overlay strip presses on the toes · Plate adds stability but does not help overpronators · Hard to find · mainly sold on Sega's website
Avoid ifYou want plenty of cushioning under the forefoot.Avoid it if you weigh under 80–85 kg or have wide feet. The plate keeps the high stack stable, but it does not correct overpronation.

My verdicts

ASICS

Excite 10

The best beginner shoe at this price: a firm heel counter, plush heel padding, a comfy upper and decent arch support.

Avoid if: You want plenty of cushioning under the forefoot.

Falcon

For runners over 90 kg, no other ₹2,000 shoe in India gives this much durability and cushioning. If you weigh under 80–85 kg, avoid it completely and look at the Sega Guide instead.

Avoid if: Avoid it if you weigh under 80–85 kg or have wide feet. The plate keeps the high stack stable, but it does not correct overpronation.
