My verdicts
New Balance
1080 v15
It is one of my top 5 long-run shoes of the year and my favourite among them. I would not pay ₹15,000 or more for any shoe, so buy it on offer; on a tighter budget the Novablast 5 at ₹10,000 gives most of the fun.
Avoid if: Avoid the standard width if you have wide feet or bunions, and skip it at full price if ₹15,000 is a stretch.
