shoe question.

[kariann330]

So i have always loved shoes. Oddly tho i noticed that i could practically walk right out of and into a mens shoe. Well i recently got my first pair of women's tennis shoes and noticed something....for once in my life my shoe finally hugs my foot the way everyone says they should (well other then a high end running shoe while doing cross country in high school) and im loving every second of it. Im wondering has anyone else ever noticed this difference, or is my foot just shaped differently then other genetic males?

It's the same for me, male shoes were always too wide.

funny, for me, even men's shoes tend to be too narrow.

Ditto. I once had a really fancy pair of dress shoes hand-made by a shoemaker. After he took my measurements, he cast around for a while, then shook his head, gave up, and just grabbed a women's last.

That being said, there are many women's shoes that are too wide for me, often flagged as "especially comfortable" etc. It is simply that on average men have wide feet and women narrow ones, but the variance within the groups is so great that it is more of an academic discussion than a differentiating factor.
