Why can't I wear men's trainers?

DH said that men have different feet so a 6.5 in a man's trainer won't be a 6.5 in a 'Ladies' trainer.

I think that it's all a load of old shit designed to make women want to buy the pink ones.

YY go and try some on

I would buy blokes shoes in a heartbeat but my feet are a bit small

wider may well be good, I wish mens shoes went down to a smaller size than I could wear them and let my tootsies spread out like they want to!

I do have quite wide hooves. I suppose I need to try some on in actual shops rather than buy online from Sports Direct who will then make me exchange for a credit note instore.

I've got men's and children's trainers. They're all fine for me!

Much prefer the design of men's trainers.

They are slightly different sizes. Eg generally I am a women's 9 but a men's 8. I wear men's shoes all the time, much comfier, effortlessly cool and yeah big enough for my massive feet. Am also not a fan of dainty pretty lady shoes in any way

just go to the shop and try some on

i've got running shoes from the women's section, trail shoes from the men's.
