My verdicts

Cult

Nebula

For ₹2,000 the Nebula does the job: very soft, wide and stable, great for walking and slow runs. It is for runners under 75 kg running slower than 6 min/km and up to about 10 km, not for serious runners.

Avoid if: You are over 75 kg, run faster than 6 min/km, or regularly run beyond 10 km.

New Admire

Budget half-marathon racing: the only shoe here with a nylon plate, energetic, stable and extremely durable.

Avoid if: You run in heat and need a breathable, roomy upper.
