I love these ASICS, I have had tendonitis in one foot and an injury to the other foot in the last year or so.  I needed a flat supportive shoe that I could wear to work with my slacks.  This shoe is extremely comfortable and feels great and the solid black color is less "in your face, I'm wearing athletic shoes!" than most of the shoes available recently.  The shoe does run narrow, so I would not recommend if you have a wide foot.
