I orginally bought a pair of these shoes to run in, and after getting used to how the shoe is shaped I found this to be a very comfortable shoe to run it. I absolutely love how comfortable these shoes are, and now that I'm pregnant I needed a black pair of shoes to wear with my uniform so I bought another pair of these ASICS. You should definitely choose a pair of shoes that suit you, and I've found that these are perfect for me. Also, Amazon gets them to you quickly and in good shape. Love it. ^^
