My verdict
My first choice for beginners and moderate pronators if price is not a problem. Soft and responsive, with the most relaxed, non-intrusive support system I have tried (Guide Your Ride) and the widest toe box among my support shoes.
Avoid if
Avoid it if you need strong support, because the support is moderate, or want the ride to stay fun past 15 km.
What works
- Soft and responsive
- Most relaxed, non-intrusive support system (Guide Your Ride)
- Widest toe box among my support shoes (75.3 mm)
What doesn't
- Moderate support may not work for everyone
- Less PEBA and more EVA kills the fun ride after 15 km

Its rocker did the bending for me, which really helped my plantar fasciitis in the early days. One of the most protective cushioned shoes for plantar fasciitis, flat feet and other foot issues. Look for it at ₹12,000–13,000.
StabilityASICS
GT-1000 14
The GT-1000 14 is far better than the last version and a soft, comfortable mild-stability shoe for walking and beginners, but it is not worth ₹10,000. Buy the GT-2000 14 or another option instead, or wait until it drops to ₹4,000–5,000.
StabilityASICS
Gel-Kayano 32
Top quality in every way, and its guidance felt like a flat road for my foot. But for my weight and moderate overpronation it was too much shoe at ₹17,000; I would buy the GT-2000 14 or 13 instead. Cheaper option: ASICS now sells the Kayano 30 as the Gel-Jadeite 3, usually far below Kayano prices, and it's a good buy if you want this kind of stability for less.
