| Pros | Very durable upper and build · Stable · Moderate heel counter and heel clip · Thick, soft heel padding · Good walking and casual shoe · Nike styling | Softest foam of the Sega shoes I tested · Dense, durable midsole, about 1,000 km · High drop and heel cushioning for heel strikers · Full-coverage, grippy outsole for road and light trail · Tough upper that resists tearing · Excellent value at ₹1,500 |
| Cons | Firm, substandard basic EVA foam · Gave him knee and hip pain while running · Poor impact protection · Not for serious runners, fast runs or beginners · Overpriced at ₹9,000 and rarely discounted · Not a stability shoe | Tight toe box with no thumb's width of space · Thick upper gets hot in summer · Heavy, about 280 g in UK 8 · Copies the Nike Invincible 3 · Sold only on Sega's website, slow delivery |
| Avoid if | Avoid it if you want a running shoe, need soft impact protection, or your ankles collapse when you walk. | Avoid it if you need a roomy, breathable toe box, unless you size up. |
My verdicts
Nike
Journey Run
I would not recommend the Journey Run for running, for serious runners or beginners, because the foam is firm and gave me knee and hip pain. It is a stable, durable walking and casual shoe, worth it only around ₹3,000 to ₹4,000.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you want a running shoe, need soft impact protection, or your ankles collapse when you walk.

Rewell
For ₹1,500, no one makes a more durable, walking-friendly and beginner-friendly shoe. It is a 10/10 for office goers, walkers and all-day standing, and an 8/10 for beginner runners, held back by a tight, hot upper.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you need a roomy, breathable toe box, unless you size up.
