I had a room mate back in the late '80s who was short and had small, narrow feet. He bought the womens shoes for every athletic endeavor. Worked just fine. The baby blue and pink accents made for some classic ribbing.
Plenty of times. I have normal width but low volume feet so will get a women’s shoe if the men’s size run is out.
I’ve never noticed a difference and nobody has ever said a thing about the colors to me.
Womens shoes and shaved legs. What must the world think.
Oh, you mean athletic shoes…never mind
I’m seriously disappointed that we’ve got this far into the thread and no one has admitted to a penchant for crimson patent leather with 6 inch spike heels.
Perhaps they’re all busy over in the LR…
Having narrow feet and size 14, it gets kind of tricky ![]()

I was sponsored by Saucony in the 90’s and always wore the womens models because of my narrow feet. My current race shoe is actually an Asics DS Trainer in a womens 11.
The only time anyone has said anything was at the start of a local reverse order triathlon when a young girl pointed at my feet and stated (quite loudly) " Hey you are wearing girls shoes! Which brought a few laughs to those around us.
Magenta Asics Nimbus. Short answer yes. I’m a size 41, very low volume with high arches. I ditch the regular insole for my foot balance orthotics. That “B” width is perfect for me. Gotten to the point where I don’t even care about the color, I’ll wear whatever.
