My verdicts
Nike
Quest 6
The midsole disappointed me: firm, with no softness or energy return. Buy it only under ₹5,000, as a good-looking, durable Nike for walking and casual jogging, not for serious running.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you are a serious runner who wants a soft ride with energy return or a shoe for long runs.

I would not recommend these for running, but as trendy walking and casual shoes under ₹1,500 they are worth every penny.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you want a shoe for running.
