AJIO Men's Shoes Under Rs. 1,500: 24 Prices, August 2026

One hundred and fifty rupees is where this shelf begins and it is a genuinely startling number for a lace-up shoe. What makes this listing worth reading closely is the MRP: Rs. 499, one of only three claims under a thousand rupees in the entire read. A Rs. 499 list price on a Rs. 150 shoe is at least internally coherent - somebody could plausibly have charged Rs. 499 for this. Compare that with the aadi directly below at Rs. 200 against a claimed Rs. 1,999. At this price you are buying a canvas-and-rubber object with a limited life expectancy, and AJIO publishes no rating to tell you how limited. Buy it as a knockabout pair, not as a bargain.

• Price: Rs. 150 (stated MRP Rs. 499)
• Key detail: Rs. 150, FRISBEE men's round-toe lace-up shoes - 70% off a stated Rs. 499
• Discount: 70% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 349
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: The entry price, with the most believable MRP on the page

Ninety per cent is the biggest number in this read and it is produced by putting Rs. 200 next to Rs. 1,999. Nothing about a mesh-upper casual shoe selling for two hundred rupees supports a two-thousand-rupee list price, and we would encourage you to read the 90 per cent as a marketing decision rather than as a saving of Rs. 1,799. aadi returned nine listings in this pull, priced Rs. 200 to Rs. 480, and almost all of them state an MRP of Rs. 999 or Rs. 1,999 regardless of what they sell for - the same shoe family, one or two round numbers, wildly varying prices. The shoe at Rs. 200 might be fine. The Rs. 1,999 is a number on a page.

• Price: Rs. 200 (stated MRP Rs. 1,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 200, aadi men's casual shoes with mesh upper - 90% off a stated Rs. 1,999
• Discount: 90% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,799
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: Two hundred rupees is the only real number on this card

Rs. 999 is a list price a cheap low-top could actually carry, which makes this the second of only three listings in the entire read where the two numbers on the card have a believable relationship. Seventy per cent off Rs. 999 is Rs. 300, and Rs. 300 is what a basic lace-up sneaker costs at the bottom of an Indian marketplace. There is nothing else to tell you: CRISTOFANO publishes no history, AJIO publishes no rating, and the listing states only the silhouette. On this shelf, a listing that does not overclaim is worth noticing precisely because so few of them manage it.

• Price: Rs. 300 (stated MRP Rs. 999)
• Key detail: Rs. 300, CRISTOFANO men's low-top lace-up casual shoes - 70% off a stated Rs. 999
• Discount: 70% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 699
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: An honest cheap sneaker, with nothing to verify it

Here is the Rs. 1,999 claim for the second time in four cards, this time against a selling price of Rs. 420 rather than Rs. 200. Two different brands, two different shoes, one identical stated list price, and selling prices a hundred and ten per cent apart. Whatever Rs. 1,999 represents on AJIO's shoe shelf, it is not a measurement of the shoe. BEEONE returned three listings in this pull at Rs. 420, Rs. 540 and Rs. 540, stating Rs. 1,999, Rs. 2,999 and Rs. 2,999. Round-toe, lace fastening and casual are all the listing tells you about the object itself.

• Price: Rs. 420 (stated MRP Rs. 1,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 420, BEEONE men's round-toe casual shoes with lace fastening - 79% off a stated Rs. 1,999
• Discount: 79% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,579
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: Fine at Rs. 420; the badge is measuring the MRP field

Eight hundred and forty-two rupees is the only stated MRP in this entire read that is not a round number ending in 99 or 00, and Rs. 421 is exactly half of it. That specificity is unusual enough to be worth a card of its own. A seller working from a real cost sheet produces numbers like Rs. 842; a seller working backwards from a desired badge produces numbers like Rs. 1,999. We cannot tell you the shoe is better for it - AJIO publishes no rating for this or any other listing here - but the arithmetic on this card behaves like arithmetic rather than like advertising, which on this shelf is a distinguishing feature.

• Price: Rs. 421 (stated MRP Rs. 842)
• Key detail: Rs. 421, MONZA men's patterned low-top lace-up casual shoes - 50% off a stated Rs. 842
• Discount: 50% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 421
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: The most coherently priced listing under Rs. 500

The third of only three listings in this pull to state an MRP under a thousand rupees, and correspondingly one of the smallest badges at the cheap end at 57 per cent. Goldstar is a long-established Nepali-Indian footwear name with genuine history in canvas and sports shoes, which distinguishes it from the marketplace labels surrounding it here. Colourblock and sports shoe is all the listing specifies - no midsole technology, no upper material, no drop. At Rs. 430 that is roughly what you would expect. Note the pattern forming: every listing here with a believable MRP also has a badge under 71 per cent.

• Price: Rs. 430 (stated MRP Rs. 999)
• Key detail: Rs. 430, GOLDSTAR men's colourblock sports shoes - 57% off a stated Rs. 999
• Discount: 57% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 569
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: A real footwear name at a cheap-shelf price

Three thousand four hundred and ninety-nine rupees is what this listing says the shoe is worth and Rs. 455 is what it costs, which produces the second-biggest badge in the read at 87 per cent. Buda Jeans Co is a denim label rather than a footwear one, and it returned three shoe listings in this pull at Rs. 455, Rs. 918 and Rs. 956, stating Rs. 3,499, Rs. 3,825 and Rs. 3,825. The pattern that runs through this whole page is visible in miniature there: the stated MRP tracks the selling price upward, keeping the badge roughly constant, which is what a pricing rule looks like rather than what a sale looks like.

• Price: Rs. 455 (stated MRP Rs. 3,499)
• Key detail: Rs. 455, Buda Jeans Co men's round-toe casual shoes with lace fastening - 87% off a stated Rs. 3,499
• Discount: 87% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 3,044
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: A Rs. 455 shoe wearing a Rs. 3,499 label

Five hundred rupees closes the cheapest section of this page, and it closes it with another four-figure MRP - Rs. 2,499 this time - and another eighty-per-cent badge. Below this line, sixteen listings in our pull sell under Rs. 500 and their stated MRPs run from Rs. 499 to Rs. 3,499, a sevenfold spread on shoes selling within three hundred rupees of each other. That spread is the clearest evidence available that the MRP field on this shelf is not measuring anything consistent. JUTAARA states round toe, lace-up and sneaker. AJIO states no rating. Rs. 500 is the fact.

• Price: Rs. 500 (stated MRP Rs. 2,499)
• Key detail: Rs. 500, JUTAARA men's round toe lace-up fastening sneakers - 80% off a stated Rs. 2,499
• Discount: 80% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,999
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: The last of the true budget shelf

ASIAN is the second-largest presence on this shelf after RED TAPE, with 26 listings in our pull priced Rs. 649 to Rs. 1,460, and unlike RED TAPE its badges vary sensibly - from 34 to 58 per cent - because its stated MRPs stay in the Rs. 1,299 to Rs. 2,999 range that a mass-market sports shoe plausibly occupies. This is its cheapest and cleanest listing: Rs. 649, exactly half of a stated Rs. 1,299, mesh upper. ASIAN has built a large genuine business selling running shoes at this price to people who run in them. Without ratings we cannot rank it, but the numbers on this card are the most ordinary on the page.

• Price: Rs. 649 (stated MRP Rs. 1,299)
• Key detail: Rs. 649, ASIAN men's sports shoes with mesh upper - 50% off a stated Rs. 1,299
• Discount: 50% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 650
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: The most normally priced shoe in the read

Two thousand eight hundred and twenty rupees is the second unrounded MRP in the read and, unlike MONZA's Rs. 842, it sits behind a badge of 76 per cent rather than 50. Precision in the MRP field does not, on this evidence, guarantee restraint in the discount. PROLIFIC returned a single listing in our pull, which means there is no internal pattern to check it against - no sibling listings revealing whether the MRP rises with the price as it does for RED TAPE and Buda Jeans Co. The listing states 'casual shoes' and nothing more: no upper material, no sole, no closure. Rs. 677 is what you are being asked to pay.

• Price: Rs. 677 (stated MRP Rs. 2,820)
• Key detail: Rs. 677, PROLIFIC men's casual shoes - 76% off a stated Rs. 2,820
• Discount: 76% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 2,143
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: Minimal information, mid-shelf price

A rubber sole is the single most consequential thing about a cheap sneaker - it decides whether the shoe survives a monsoon pavement or delaminates in a season - and this is one of only two listings in the entire read that bothers to name the sole material. Styli is a Middle-Eastern fast-fashion label with a growing Indian marketplace presence, so treat the brand as a merchandiser rather than a shoemaker. Rs. 703 against a stated Rs. 1,899 gives a 63 per cent badge, which is mid-range for this page. Without ratings there is no way to know whether the rubber is any good, but a listing that tells you what it is made of has done more than most here.

• Price: Rs. 703 (stated MRP Rs. 1,899)
• Key detail: Rs. 703, Styli men's colorblock rubber sole lace up sneakers - 63% off a stated Rs. 1,899
• Discount: 63% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,196
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: Buy it for the stated sole, not the badge

Nineteen per cent is the smallest badge anywhere in this pull, by a wide margin - the next smallest is 41 - and it comes with a stated MRP of Rs. 899 against a Rs. 729 selling price. That is what a normal retail markdown looks like: a modest reduction from a plausible list price. Shein prices this way because Shein does not run an MRP theatre; it sells at the price it wants and discounts lightly. Set this card beside the aadi at 90 per cent off a claimed Rs. 1,999 and you have the entire argument of this page in two listings. A court sneaker at Rs. 729 is unremarkable. The number next to it is the remarkable part.

• Price: Rs. 729 (stated MRP Rs. 899)
• Key detail: Rs. 729, Shein men's lace fastening panelled court sneakers - 19% off a stated Rs. 899
• Discount: 19% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 170
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: The only listing here priced like ordinary retail

Lee Cooper is a British denim licence that has been sold in Indian footwear for two decades, which means the shoe was made to a specification somebody signed off rather than assembled to hit a marketplace price point. That is the whole of the argument for paying Rs. 840 instead of Rs. 500. It returned three listings in our pull at Rs. 840, Rs. 900 and Rs. 950, stating Rs. 2,799, Rs. 2,999 and Rs. 1,899 - so its MRPs move around rather than tracking a formula, which is a small mark in its favour. Seventy per cent off is still a large badge over a stated price nobody paid. Printed lace-up is all the listing specifies.

• Price: Rs. 840 (stated MRP Rs. 2,799)
• Key detail: Rs. 840, Lee Cooper men's printed lace-up shoes - 70% off a stated Rs. 2,799
• Discount: 70% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,959
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: The cheapest recognisable brand on the page

Campus is the biggest sports footwear manufacturer in India by unit volume and it returned 17 listings in this pull, priced Rs. 854 to Rs. 1,518 with badges between 33 and 56 per cent - the most consistently modest discount range of any brand with real presence on this shelf. That restraint is the point of this card. A company that actually manufactures at scale does not need to claim Rs. 6,000 MRPs, because its costs and its prices are related. The ANON is a slip-on walking shoe, which is a genuine category rather than a marketing one. At Rs. 854 with a 43 per cent badge, this is the least theatrical listing from a major brand on the page.

• Price: Rs. 854 (stated MRP Rs. 1,499)
• Key detail: Rs. 854, Campus ANON men's slip-on walking shoes - 43% off a stated Rs. 1,499
• Discount: 43% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 645
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: The volume manufacturer, priced like one

OFF LIMITS returned three listings in this pull at Rs. 874, Rs. 1,012 and Rs. 1,140, stating MRPs of Rs. 3,799, Rs. 4,599 and Rs. 3,799 - badges of 77, 78 and 70 per cent. Once again the stated MRP moves with the selling price and the badge stays put. By this point in the page the pattern should be familiar: on AJIO's shoe shelf, a discount percentage is usually a property of the brand rather than of the individual shoe, and comparing badges across brands tells you almost nothing about which shoe is better value. Flat heel and lace fastening is the extent of the specification here.

• Price: Rs. 874 (stated MRP Rs. 3,799)
• Key detail: Rs. 874, OFF LIMITS men's flat heel sneakers with lace fastening - 77% off a stated Rs. 3,799
• Discount: 77% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 2,925
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: A third label running one badge across its catalogue

A synthetic upper is honest labelling - it means plastic, and plastic is what almost everything under a thousand rupees on this shelf is made of, whether or not the listing says so. ASTEROID at least says so. It returned two listings in our pull at Rs. 875 and Rs. 980, both stating Rs. 3,499, which produces badges of 75 and 72 per cent: one MRP, two prices, the formula again. At Rs. 875 you are paying mid-shelf money for a shoe whose only stated specification is that it is not leather. Set against the Campus ANON twenty rupees cheaper, from a manufacturer with a factory, this is the harder case to make.

• Price: Rs. 875 (stated MRP Rs. 3,499)
• Key detail: Rs. 875, ASTEROID men's casual shoes with synthetic upper - 75% off a stated Rs. 3,499
• Discount: 75% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 2,624
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: Honest about the material, quiet about everything else

RED TAPE is the largest presence on this shelf and the most instructive. It returned 36 listings in our pull and every single one of them is discounted between 80 and 86 per cent. Selling prices run Rs. 896 to Rs. 1,598; the stated MRPs run Rs. 5,899 to Rs. 9,599 and climb in lockstep, which is exactly what keeps the badge constant. There is no sale here. There is a rule: state a list price roughly six or seven times the selling price, and let the badge take care of itself. RED TAPE is a real shoe brand with real retail stores, which makes this more striking rather than less. At Rs. 896 for a mesh-upper casual shoe it may be perfectly good value - just not because it is 86 per cent off.

• Price: Rs. 896 (stated MRP Rs. 6,399)
• Key detail: Rs. 896, RED TAPE men's casual shoes with mesh upper - 86% off a stated Rs. 6,399
• Discount: 86% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 5,503
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: Judge it at Rs. 896, and disregard the Rs. 6,399 entirely

Forty-seven per cent is one of the six smallest badges in this entire read, and Rs. 1,699 is a stated MRP that a sports shoe could actually carry. JQR returned three listings at Rs. 899, Rs. 929 and Rs. 929, all against Rs. 1,699 - the same MRP, prices thirty rupees apart, badges of 47 and 45 per cent. That is a brand pricing its catalogue at one level rather than inflating each listing individually, which is the more defensible version of what RED TAPE is doing one card above. Lace fastening and sports shoe is the specification. Rs. 899 is the number that matters.

• Price: Rs. 899 (stated MRP Rs. 1,699)
• Key detail: Rs. 899, JQR men's sports shoes with lace fastening - 47% off a stated Rs. 1,699
• Discount: 47% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 800
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: Modestly priced and modestly badged

Rs. 3,825 is the same stated MRP that Buda Jeans Co attaches to two of its listings earlier on this page, which is either a coincidence or a shared supplier convention; we cannot tell which and we are not going to guess. What we can say is that above a thousand rupees the badges on this shelf do not shrink the way you might expect - this one is 73 per cent, comfortably inside the range the cheap end occupies. Low-top and slip-on are stated. Mactree is a marketplace label. Rs. 1,033 buys you into the section of the page where recognisable brands start appearing, and this listing is not one of them.

• Price: Rs. 1,033 (stated MRP Rs. 3,825)
• Key detail: Rs. 1,033, Mactree men's low-top slip-on casual shoes - 73% off a stated Rs. 3,825
• Discount: 73% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 2,792
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: Priced with the brands, specified like the marketplace labels

Neemans built its business selling knitted and recycled-material shoes directly to Indian buyers at fixed, un-theatrical prices, and that discipline shows here: Rs. 2,099 stated, Rs. 1,099 charged, a 48 per cent badge. A D2C brand has a real list price because it spends most of the year selling at it. That makes this one of the small number of listings on this page where the discount plausibly describes an actual reduction. The synthetic upper is stated. Whether the shoe suits you is a question this page cannot answer, because AJIO publishes no ratings - but the pricing is among the most trustworthy in the read.

• Price: Rs. 1,099 (stated MRP Rs. 2,099)
• Key detail: Rs. 1,099, Neemans men's sneakers with synthetic upper - 48% off a stated Rs. 2,099
• Discount: 48% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,000
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: The most believable discount on the page's back half

Decathlon designs its own footwear, tests it in its own stores and normally refuses to discount it at all, which makes a 62 per cent badge on a Decathlon shoe on a third-party marketplace an unusual sight. The most likely explanation is end-of-line stock rather than a change of philosophy. Rs. 1,149 for a Decathlon running shoe is genuinely cheap against what the same shoe costs in a Decathlon store, and Decathlon's own site carries ratings even though AJIO does not - which is the single most useful cross-check available to you on this entire page. Round-toe and lace-up is all the listing says; the model name is not given, which makes that cross-check harder than it should be.

• Price: Rs. 1,149 (stated MRP Rs. 2,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 1,149, Decathlon men's round-toe lace-up fastening sports shoes - 62% off a stated Rs. 2,999
• Discount: 62% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 1,850
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: Worth checking against Decathlon's own listing before buying

Rs. 3,999 is a real Puma price for a Tychonic and Rs. 1,200 is a heavy but believable clearance of it - this is what an actual end-of-season markdown looks like on a shoe that had a genuine list price to begin with. The Tychonic is a lightweight low-top training silhouette rather than a running shoe, so treat it as a casual sneaker with athletic styling. Crucially, this listing names its model, which almost nothing else on this page does: you can search 'Puma Tychonic' and find the same shoe elsewhere with reviews attached. On a shelf with no ratings at all, a searchable model name is worth more than any badge.

• Price: Rs. 1,200 (stated MRP Rs. 3,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 1,200, Puma Tychonic low-top lace-up sneakers - 70% off a stated Rs. 3,999
• Discount: 70% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 2,799
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: The best-value global brand here, and you can research it

Forty-one per cent is the second-smallest badge in the read and Rs. 2,199 is an entirely plausible list price for a Liberty running shoe. Liberty has manufactured footwear in Karnal since the 1950s and sells through its own retail network, which is why its MRP means something: it is the price the shop down the road charges. The Leap7X Watson-1E is a named, searchable model. Between the honest MRP, the modest discount, the domestic manufacturing and the model number you can look up, this is one of the two or three most transparent listings on the entire page - which is a separate question from whether it is the best shoe.

• Price: Rs. 1,297 (stated MRP Rs. 2,199)
• Key detail: Rs. 1,297, LIBERTY men's Leap7X Watson-1E sports lace-up running shoes - 41% off a stated Rs. 2,199
• Discount: 41% off a stated MRP, which is Rs. 902
• Rating: AJIO publishes no rating or review count for any listing on this shelf
• Buying logic: The most transparent listing in the read

New Balance is a running company before it is a fashion company and the Drift is a genuine entry-level running shoe rather than a sneaker styled to look like one. Rs. 4,999 is the real Indian list price and Rs. 1,500 is a deep, believable clearance - the kind of markdown that happens when a colourway ends. That makes the 70 per cent badge here mean something quite different from the 70 per cent on the aadi at Rs. 200, even though the two numbers are identical, which is as neat a summary of this page as we can offer. Named model, real brand, researchable elsewhere. At the top of this shelf, that is what your money buys.

• Price: Rs. 1,500 (stated MRP Rs. 4,999)
• Key detail: Rs. 1,500, NEW BALANCE men's Drift lace-up running shoes - 70% off a stated Rs. 4,999
