My verdicts
Nike
Winflo 11
It is a good-looking, stable shoe for walking and slow running on narrow to moderate feet, but there is no bounce or energy return. I would not recommend it at ₹6,000–8,000; at around ₹5,000 you can try it.
Avoid if: You have wide feet, need ankle support, or want any bounce or energy return.
