I'm planning to buy a sports shoe. I will mostly use it to wear for gym for jogging etc. Apart from this it would be good if its trendy so that I can wear it outside as well but primarily it will be for exercising! My budget is less than 2k. I think popular brands are Reebok, Addidas and Nike. I personally like Nike but I think they will be expensive.

well if u focus on jogging and gym purpose then u should for Adidas Joggers... they are awesome...

but if u need them to be trendy and sports as well.. go for reebok... but i believe ur budget for these brands is less... u could have taken it somedays back as all had around 40% off...

i myself bought a reebok of 4k in just 2.4k...

well i love shoes, my first one was a reebok, and then nike and then adidas, new balance, fela, i also had sperndi, (sorry for the spelling mistakes) :) i was going to buy a puma but i ended up with adidas.
all were very good. some lasted really long while the others lasted a little over 6 months.

i love adidas, nike, they are the best.

for your budget you will get really nice shoes from power, i had them too.
really nice ones, but i do not remember how long they lasted.
and since i have large foot size my shoes are expensive, my current adidas are 4K. so i really think you should be able to knock some good shoes.

Ya Lotto was my favourite brand... i have tourchered them for 2 long years like hell but they showed no evidence of that... finally got stollen... or might be they ran away...

After that they are no where available..

Dude. there is no specific no.1 in shoemakers.

Go to all the stores, check out models and pick one that suites you best.

What you should not do is get into one store (nike or adidas or...) and grab best availabe shoe.

for gym u need to have a shoe with flat base because u need to have balance....i.e. trainers....
for running u need a shoe with good sole & cushion on pressure points....this is necessary so that it doesnt hurt.
Dont get Trainers and use then for running...however u can use running ones for gym also...provided u do not do total body strength workouts....which puts pressure on your legs or requires u too stand during the whole set...like squats etc.

all these brands have seperate sections for trainers and running shoes...I prefer Reebok...get ur shoes from some Factory outlet u might get good discount!

I remember when I was much younger my uncle gave me a pair of Lotto shoes and they were so good! I still don't remember how long they lasted? But they did last for a long time!

Arey bhai I told less than Rs 2000 and not less than Rs 100. Maybe I should have mentioned more than Rs 1000 and less than Rs 2000.

That was quite informative! Thanks a lot dude! Right now I'm looking essentially for gym where I would be mostly be on Treadmill, Cross Trainer etc. I think budget maybe an issue!

I finally bought a Reebok Runner shoes for 2k from a factory outlet. He gave me 30% off. I checked Nike and Addidas but finally settled for this one. Thanks all for your feedback.
