My verdicts
ASICS
Excite 11
The Excite 11 is a plusher, more protective beginner shoe than the Excite 10, and worth it at around ₹3,000 to ₹3,500. At ₹5,000, spend a little more on a Nimbus 27 or another shoe that gives far better value.
Avoid if: It costs ₹5,000 or more; the Nimbus 27 gives much better value then.
