My verdicts

Sega

Nobel Pro

The best budget racing shoe from 100 m to 5K and 10K, with one of the most responsive midsoles at this price.

Avoid if: You run in heat and need a breathable, roomy upper.

US Polo Assn

Sport RunPro

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.
