AeroVortexGlide

Adidas launched 20 to 30 budget models on Flipkart at ₹2,000, and the Aero range all share the same design and Cloudfoam, so any of them will feel the same. I bought four, found no difference, kept this one and returned the rest. The retail price is ₹5,000 to ₹5,500, but I paid ₹2,000. Stepping in, the Cloudfoam feels soft and plush, like a premium shoe. When running I did not feel that softness. It is low stack, maybe 25 mm at the heel and 18 to 20 mm at the forefoot, so it is neither soft nor rock hard and you get ground feel. It is a low-drop shoe, under 6 mm to me, so your ankles and calves take the load. Do not run faster than 6:00/km in it. It is for about 6:30 to 10 to 12:00/km. The platform is wide with side walls, so it lands and takes off stably. There is no guidance system, but the upper is stitched in tightly at the ankle and the elevated OrthoLite insole supports the arch, which helps walking and lifting in the gym. Breathability was fine, the toe box is tall and roomy, and you can take your usual size. It is not a wide-foot shoe, but the stretchy single-layer upper with no overlays may work for wide feet. It suits neutral and high arches and moderate pronation, not overpronation. It weighs 280 g in my UK 8. The outsole rubber covers only parts of the sole and the midfoot is fully exposed, so durability will drop if you run on tar roads. It suits absolute beginners running 1 to 5 km a day, gym use, walking and fashionable casual wear. It is not for runners doing 10 km daily, 15 km long runs or paces under 6:00/km. Avoid it if you have weak ankles or calves or past injuries there. Order it, try it at home, and return it if it does not suit you.
