Two fashion marketplaces, a hundred and fifty-four boots, and one brand that sells on both at the same declared price - Rs. 228 apart at the checkout.
We read both shelves on 23 September 2026, as the boot season starts. Below: which brands overlap, what they cost in each place, which shelf publishes evidence, and the full price list from both.
📅 Both shelves read 23 September 2026
aadi: Rs. 1,999 MRP on both, Rs. 648 at Myntra and Rs. 420 at AJIO
Ratings published: 44 of 65 at Myntra, 0 of 89 at AJIO
📅 Update log:
23 Sep 2026 — first published. Myntra's 65 listings came from myntra.com's own men's and women's boots listing pages; AJIO's 89 came from ajio.com's own search results for "boots", filtered to listings whose titles name a boot. Both were read on 23 September 2026 as a logged-out visitor in India with nothing purchased. The brand-overlap check is ours, made by comparing brand names across the same session's results. Both retailers re-price without notice, so we re-read both shelves and log what has changed here.
Six brands sell on both shelves - and AJIO is cheaper against the same MRP
We read both boot shelves on 23 September 2026 - 65 listings on Myntra, 89 on AJIO - and six brands appear on both: aadi, El Paso, Layasa, Selfiee, Shoetopia and Stylestry.
The clearest case is aadi. It declares the identical maximum retail price of Rs. 1,999 on both sites. On Myntra its platform Chelsea boot sells at Rs. 648 and shows 68 per cent off; on AJIO a lace-up ankle boot sells at Rs. 420 and shows 79 per cent, and a Chelsea at Rs. 520 shows 74. One brand, one declared value, Rs. 228 between the cheapest listing on each shelf.
El Paso is the same story at a higher price. All four of its Myntra listings sell at a flat Rs. 1,229 against a stated Rs. 4,499. On AJIO its boots start at Rs. 864 against a stated Rs. 4,799. These are different boots in each place, so this is not a like-for-like price gap and we do not present it as one - but the direction is consistent across the shared brands, and the MRP is a brand-level number that travels between retailers largely unchanged.
| Brand on both shelves | Myntra | AJIO |
|---|
| aadi | Rs. 648, MRP Rs. 1,999, 16,942 ratings | Rs. 420 and Rs. 520, MRP Rs. 1,999, unrated |
| El Paso | Rs. 1,229 across four listings, MRP Rs. 4,499, 4,094 ratings | From Rs. 864, MRP Rs. 4,799, unrated |
| Layasa | Rs. 593 to Rs. 896, MRP Rs. 1,999, up to 1,104 ratings | Rs. 999, MRP Rs. 2,999, unrated |
| Shoetopia | Rs. 829, MRP Rs. 2,499, 139 ratings | 17 listings from Rs. 460, median Rs. 792, unrated |
| Selfiee | Rs. 889 and Rs. 918, unrated | Rs. 540 and Rs. 780, unrated |
| Stylestry | Rs. 737, MRP Rs. 1,999, 370 ratings | Rs. 675 to Rs. 1,240, unrated |
The Rs. 228 you save on AJIO is 16,942 ratings you give up
Not one of AJIO's 89 boot listings publishes a star average or a rating count. Myntra publishes both on 44 of its 65.
That matters most on exactly the brand where AJIO is cheapest. The aadi platform Chelsea boot on Myntra at Rs. 648 carries 4.3 from 16,942 ratings - the largest sample on either shelf by a factor of two. The aadi boots on AJIO at Rs. 420 and Rs. 520 carry nothing at all. You are choosing between Rs. 228 and the most-rated boot in this read.
The same applies further up. A Roadster casual Chelsea at Rs. 1,313 on Myntra carries 4.3 from 7,114, an El Paso at Rs. 1,229 carries 4.4 from 4,094, and a KRAASA at Rs. 999 carries 4.0 from 3,699. AJIO's dearest boot in the read, a Monte Carlo genuine-leather Chelsea at Rs. 4,249, is as unevidenced as its cheapest.
Read Myntra's very large counts with one caveat: it pools feedback across the colourways of one product, so two Roadster women's listings Rs. 45 apart both show 3,487 and four El Paso listings all show 4,094. The number describes a product family.
₹ The rule that falls out of this page. If the brand is one of the six on both shelves, check Myntra for the rating count and AJIO for the price - the evidence lives in one place and the discount in the other. If it is a brand only AJIO stocks, you are buying on the photograph.
Same median, different ceiling
The middle of these two shelves is remarkably similar: Myntra's median boot is Rs. 1,083 and AJIO's is Rs. 1,049, and the median discount badge is 73 per cent against 72. The stated MRP multiples are near-identical too, at a median 3.66 times the price on Myntra and 3.57 on AJIO.
The ends are where they part. Myntra's boot shelf stops at Rs. 1,999 - there is not one listing above it - while AJIO has 18 listings at Rs. 2,000 or more, topping out at the Rs. 4,249 Monte Carlo. At the bottom, AJIO has 44 listings under Rs. 1,000 against Myntra's 31.
The house labels differ in the same way. Roadster, Myntra's own, is 22 of its 65 listings; Shoetopia is 17 of AJIO's 89. Neither shelf in this read carried a Timberland, a Dr. Martens or any imported boot brand - the top of AJIO's range is Woodland at Rs. 3,481 and Monte Carlo at Rs. 4,249.
| If you want to spend | Myntra | AJIO | Better shelf |
|---|
| Under Rs. 700 | Nine listings, several with four-figure rating counts | Twenty-one listings, none rated | AJIO on price, Myntra on evidence |
| Rs. 700 to Rs. 1,500 | Fifty-three listings | Thirty-five listings | Either |
| Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 2,000 | Three listings, top price Rs. 1,999 | Fifteen listings | AJIO on choice, Myntra on ratings |
| Above Rs. 2,000 | None in this read | Eighteen listings, to Rs. 4,249 | AJIO |
The badges are arithmetic, on both sites
Both retailers compute the percentage from an MRP the seller declares, and both shelves stretch that number hard. Myntra's multiples run from 1.05 to 6.09 times the selling price; AJIO's from 1.18 to 8.33.
AJIO holds the record here: a Truffle Collection ankle boot at Rs. 588 declares Rs. 4,899 and shows 88 per cent off, and an Allen Cooper boys' boot at Rs. 1,260 declares Rs. 8,999. Myntra's biggest is an AfroJack Chelsea at Rs. 1,231 declaring Rs. 7,495 - though that one at least carries 3,385 ratings.
At the honest end, Myntra has a CASSIEY snow boot at Rs. 949 declaring Rs. 999 - a 5 per cent badge - and AJIO has the Monte Carlo at Rs. 4,249 declaring Rs. 4,999, a 15 per cent badge. Stating a high MRP is legal and commonplace across Indian retail and we allege nothing by reporting it; the practical point is that a badge cannot rank two boots, on one shelf or across two.

What we would actually do
For aadi, pay the Rs. 228 and buy on Myntra. The Rs. 648 platform Chelsea carries 4.3 from 16,942 ratings - the best-evidenced boot in this entire read - and the same brand's AJIO listings at Rs. 420 and Rs. 520 carry nothing. Against the identical declared MRP of Rs. 1,999, the extra money buys you the one thing a listing page can actually give you.
Under Rs. 700 on AJIO, buy the shape you want and check the returns window. There are 21 listings there below Rs. 700 - a Shoetopia lace-up at Rs. 460, a Fyre Rose Chelsea at Rs. 532, a Truffle Collection at Rs. 588 - and none of them will tell you what turned up in anyone else's parcel. At those prices that may be an acceptable risk; at Rs. 3,481 for the Woodland it is a different question.
Above Rs. 2,000, AJIO is the only shelf here - Myntra's boot pages returned nothing over Rs. 1,999 in this read. And on either site, ignore the percentage: an 88 per cent badge on AJIO and an 84 per cent badge on Myntra both sit on boots under Rs. 1,300, while the two most restrained badges on the page - 5 per cent and 15 - sit on a snow boot and a leather Chelsea.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Myntra or AJIO cheaper for boots?
Their middles are nearly identical - in our 23 September 2026 read Myntra's median boot is Rs. 1,083 and AJIO's is Rs. 1,049 - but AJIO is cheaper at the floor and stocks a higher ceiling. AJIO has 44 listings under Rs. 1,000 against Myntra's 31, and 18 listings at Rs. 2,000 or more where Myntra has none. On the six brands both sites stock, AJIO was cheaper in the cases we could compare: aadi starts at Rs. 420 there against Rs. 648 on Myntra, against the same declared Rs. 1,999 MRP.
Which site publishes boot reviews?
Only Myntra. It publishes a star average and a rating count on 44 of its 65 boot listings, including 4.3 from 16,942 on an aadi platform Chelsea at Rs. 648 and 4.3 from 7,114 on a Roadster at Rs. 1,313. AJIO publishes neither on any of its 89 boot listings. Note that Myntra pools feedback across colourways, so a very large count describes a product family rather than the exact pair in the photograph - four El Paso listings in this read all show the same 4,094.
What is the cheapest boot online in September 2026?
On these two shelves, an aadi men's typographic lace-up ankle boot on AJIO at Rs. 420, which declares an MRP of Rs. 1,999 and publishes no rating. Myntra's floor is a CORSICA women's pointed toe zip boot at Rs. 505, also unrated. The cheapest well-evidenced boot in the read is the Layasa men's Chelsea at Rs. 593 on Myntra, with 4.1 from 1,104 ratings.
Do Myntra and AJIO stock the same boot brands?
Six overlap: aadi, El Paso, Layasa, Selfiee, Shoetopia and Stylestry. Everything else differs. Myntra's shelf is dominated by Roadster, its own label, at 22 of 65 listings, with HERE&NOW, KRAASA, AfroJack and Try Me behind it. AJIO's is led by Shoetopia at 17 of 89, with Buda Jeans Co, RED TAPE, DELIZE, Truffle Collection and BXXY. Neither shelf carried an imported boot brand in this read; the dearest listings are a Woodland at Rs. 3,481 and a Monte Carlo at Rs. 4,249, both on AJIO.
Are the 80 per cent boot discounts real?
They are real arithmetic over a number the seller chose. Stated MRPs run from 1.05 to 6.09 times the selling price on Myntra and from 1.18 to 8.33 on AJIO. A Truffle Collection boot at Rs. 588 declaring Rs. 4,899 shows 88 per cent off; a CASSIEY snow boot at Rs. 949 declaring Rs. 999 shows 5. Both are ordinary retail practice. Compare the prices, and on Myntra the rating counts - the badge tells you about the MRP field, not the boot.
Prices & codes last verified: 23 September 2026
Both shelves behind this page were read on 23 September 2026 as served to a logged-out visitor in India, with nothing purchased and no account used. The Myntra side is 65 listings from myntra.com's own men's and women's boots listing pages; the AJIO side is 89 listings from ajio.com's own search results for "boots", filtered to those whose titles name a boot. Twenty-nine Myntra listings and thirty AJIO listings are printed in the tables above, chosen to span the price ladder; the medians, band counts and MRP multiples are our own arithmetic over the full 65 and 89 and describe these listings on this date rather than either retailer's complete catalogue. A brand stocked by either retailer but absent from these particular results would not appear here, and nothing on this page should be read as a claim about what either company sells overall. No matched-model price comparison is made: the six brands on both shelves - aadi, El Paso, Layasa, Selfiee, Shoetopia and Stylestry - list different boots in each place, so every cross-retailer figure here compares different products from one brand rather than one product in two shops, and we say so rather than implying a like-for-like gap. We cannot verify whether any stated maximum retail price was ever a live selling price and make no claim either way; stating a high MRP is legal and commonplace across Indian retail, and no wrongdoing by Myntra, AJIO, or by aadi, El Paso, Roadster, Shoetopia, Layasa, Selfiee, Stylestry, Truffle Collection, Allen Cooper, Woodland, Monte Carlo, AfroJack, KRAASA, CASSIEY or any other brand named is alleged or implied. The absence of ratings on AJIO listings is a description of what that shelf published on this date, not a criticism of the products on it. Where several Myntra listings show an identical rating count - four El Paso listings share 4,094 and two Roadster listings share 3,487 in this read - that is Myntra pooling feedback across the variants of one product, so a count describes a product family rather than a single listing. 'Leather', 'genuine leather upper', 'synthetic', 'Chelsea', fit descriptions and every other specification is each listing's own text, quoted as printed and not verified; nothing on this page was worn, fitted, walked in or measured, and no judgement is offered on sizing, comfort, water resistance, sole life or material quality. Prices change without notice; coupon codes, bank card offers, platform fees, delivery charges and anything applied at checkout are not visible in listing data and can move your final price in either direction at either retailer, and the prices and terms shown at your checkout prevail over anything here. Zoutons may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page; it does not change what you pay, and nothing here was reviewed or approved by either retailer or any brand named.
