ProsSoft, max-cushion midsole · Very comfortableDense, bouncy ETPU foam with energy return · Feels premium, not like a budget shoe · More forefoot foam than most budget shoes · Thick, highly durable upper with full-length side protector · Good tongue and good-quality laces · True to size for UK 8 · Works for running, indoor sports, gym and casual wear · Excellent value at about ₹1,200
ConsNarrow forefoot · Little energy returnNo room at the sides of the forefoot, rubbing and blisters on wide feet · No half sizes · Outsole rubber wears, especially at the heel · Insole not up to Red Tape's usual standard · No heel counter · Plastic midsole piece adds 20 to 30 g
Avoid ifYou have a wide forefoot or want a bouncy, energetic ride.Avoid your usual size if you have wide feet, because the narrow forefoot causes rubbing and blisters; go one size up instead.
