Men's Athletic Shoes vs Women's Athletic Shoes
« on: November 28, 2009, 12:50:40 PM »
Is there really much of a difference?

My last pair I had to buy were "Men's" because I could not find any in my size.

So yes, I'm wearing Men's New Balance I bought at Sam's Club to the gym for the next 3 months or so  :-[     Is there really any difference  ???

I think the only difference is width ~ mens tend to run wider and of course their numbering system is different.

The sizes do stay the same.

I knew you were gonna say NB's, before you posted it! I used to work at Footlocker back in the day, and women would do that with NB's. I also had a dude who wanted a smaller pair of Nike's because, "the shoes look too big", his words. Nikes and Addidas tend to run half a size smaller than other shoes.
