| Pros | The only shoe in the battle with a nylon plate · Energetic and stable · Extremely durable | Light, about 250 g in UK 8 · Very breathable, paper-thin mesh · Good heel lockdown · Fashionable colourways |
| Cons | Thick, tight upper | Dead foam, the TPU claim is not true · Plastic 'plate' does nothing · Runs very large, ankle collapses inwards · No grip in the wet |
| Avoid if | You run in heat and need a breathable, roomy upper. | You are a serious runner, run fast, weigh over 80 kg, or have flat feet, overpronation, Achilles pain or plantar fasciitis. |
My verdicts
Sega
New Admire
Budget half-marathon racing: the only shoe here with a nylon plate, energetic, stable and extremely durable.
Avoid if: You run in heat and need a breathable, roomy upper.

The foam is dead and the plate is cheap plastic, so I would not recommend it to serious runners even at ₹3,000 to ₹4,500. It only suits light, slow, occasional runners who want a fashionable shoe.
Avoid if: You are a serious runner, run fast, weigh over 80 kg, or have flat feet, overpronation, Achilles pain or plantar fasciitis.
