Question:
Does anyone know if there are significant differences, other than color,
between the men's and women's models of the same shoe, given roughly
equivalent sizes? (in my case, I can wear 9.5 womens or 8 mens). In
particular, is "standard width" about the same in equivalent sizes?
Answer:Mens shoes are normally in a D width, and womens shoes are in a B width.
Mens narrow shoes are B, womens narrow are A.
i have a narrow foot for a man,
and where a mens 9 - 9.5 and generally a womens size 11.
i've got probably 7 or 8 pairs of new/boxes running shoes of all stripes
(mizuno/asics/nb)...probably half of those are actually womens shoes though i'm
a man.
i buy closed out models, etc. at discount. footlocker.com had the asics nimbus
IV for $49, only had my size in womens....I had a 30% off coupon...and stocked
up in numerous pairs...ended up paying $35/pair for this $100+ shoe. i'm a
passionate runner....have tons of new and in use shoes....and from my
experience cannot discern any difference in men's model's vs. women's models.
I've worn both in NB 1210 series and Asics Nimbus 4.
