@ ALL,
Whichever shoes you zero in on just remember BUY them well in advance and use it 10 to 15 days before your trek.

Weinbrenner is a good brand from Tata.
I have personally used a nice shoe from Decathlon. The model number was Forclas 500. Find it very well for treks like auden's col and mayali pass.
1995-till date: Saraswati Valley(Dweep Tal, Saraswati Tal, Ratakona, Jagraon), Auden's Col, Khatling Glacier, Mayali Pass, Patangini Dhar, Pin Parvati Pass, Kalindi Pass, Ronti Saddle, Mt. Yunum(Aborted), Kedar Tal, Roopkund, Junargali pass, Sundardhunga Valley, Tapovan, Rudranath, Chandrashila peak, Beas Kund, Triundh, Chudhar peak,Dodital.

I would suggest that you do not go in for these shoes as they are not high ankle ones. High ankle shoes IMO should be the first priority for any trek.

Secondly they are just sports shoes, yes they will be very comfortable but they will not give you any protection from rain/ dampness/ water.

If you are on a budget I would strongly suggest that you go in for these These will be much better than the ones you have chosen.

You being in Mumbai can search for the shoes I have mentioned in stores (check planet sports) try them and then decide

Regards

I got them yesterday and I paid Rs. 2500/- + Rs. 208/- (logistics) for them. Brown colour ones, and I must say, they are pretty comfortable

I am surprised.. How could you get it cheaper? I am an old member of Decathlon and when i visited their warehouse last weekend, they were still quoting 2990.
