Cloud-Style Walking Shoe
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.

Glide-Step
The Glide-Step is a very well-built, durable shoe for all-day walking and standing, but I am not satisfied with it for running at ₹12,000. It is heavy, stiff, hot and has no real rocker.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you want a running shoe, especially as a forefoot striker, because it is heavy, stiff, hot and narrow in the forefoot.
