Can men wear women's shoes

I’m on the hunt for some Endorphin Speed 2 Runshields to brave the wet winter here in Scotland. However, it seems like men’s sizes are scarce in the UK, while women’s sizes are more abundant and often cheaper.

Does anyone have advice on buying women’s shoes as a man, specifically regarding sizing? I’m particularly interested in tips for Saucony shoes. I’ve come across a range of recommendations, from going half a size up to a full size or more, and there’s also conflicting information about shoe width, which seems to vary by brand. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Men’s and women’s shoe sizes don’t always match up because women’s shoes are frequently a B width. I’m not sure if the endorphin lineup works the same way.

My acquaintance runs in women’s shoes and has tiny feet. He must constantly search for men’s and women’s hues so that he doesn’t appear to be wearing a women’s sneaker.

Absolutely, why not?

Men can wear women’s shoes.

Fashion is all about personal expression and comfort, and there are no hard and fast rules about who can wear what.

The most important thing is that the shoes fit well and feel comfortable.

Hey @PushaTitan, For Saucony, you generally need to go up a size and a half from your usual men’s size when buying women’s. Width can be tricky, but most Saucony shoes are on the average width for both men and women. Some people say just a size up is enough, but I’d rather have a little extra wiggle room, especially for winter socks.

Definitely check out Saucony’s size chart too, just to be safe. They have a conversion guide for men’s to women’s sizes Saucony men's and women's size chart | RunRepeat.

There are no shoes for men or women. Simply dress whichever you like.

Hello PushaTitan ,as long as there is a model that fits, nothing prevents you from wearing them even though some were only available to women. The majority of shoes are identical for both men and women. Simply move up a size

Lol 90% of “women’s” releases are more masculine than feminine or at the very least unisex/neutral.
