Shit, I’ve just bought men’s shoes

[WeekWeekWeek]

Bought them online from a well-known department store with a very nice discount in the January sale. They’re Kurt Geiger, a brand I like, and I wanted them for work- always looking for a smart flat.

They arrived today and I tried them on. A little roomy but not bad.

Jusy tidying away and spotted they’re men’s shoes!
No wonder they were cheap- can’t imagine much demand for men’s size 6.

Pic is of the ad on the website. I obviously didn’t look too closely 👀

So keep (YANBU) or return (YABU)?

Do you like them? Do they fit? The keep them.

It really doesn't matter who they're meant to be for.

I wear some men's clothes. Not for political or identity reasons but because I like them, they fit and they're often better quality.

Keep them if they fit! They look good.

Nothing especially manly about them. I’d keep them

Do you like the shoes? Do they fit?

If so, why would it matter that they're men's?

Don’t see what the issue is if you like them. Your feet won’t actually notice.

If they fit you and you like them then why on earth wouldn't you keep them??? I know several women who wear men's shoes because they fit better

They really don’t look like men’s shoes so, if you like them, just wear them.

I wear mens trainers to run in. So far no one has come after me demanding my woman badge....

OMG, send them straight back before you end up growing a cock!

Like everyone else, i cannot work out your issue.

Is this a joke?
You like them
They don't actually matter who they're for
I know women who buy mens because they have larger feet

😂 tbf there're not very manly so I'd keep them

Very Diane Keaton. Keep them if that's the look you're going for .

And they have pockets! And often a better choice of dark colours.

Just to add, they’re exceptionally comfortable.

Is this why men rule the world- comfort?

I have smallish feet. I occasionally buy from the kids’ section. It doesn’t turn me into someone who likes skipping and playing the recorder badly.

they might even be - shock horror - foot shaped🤔

If they are comfortable then keep them.

I often buy men's jumpers because they tend to be longer and I can't stand to be tugging a woman's size down. Haven't noticed an appendage yet!

Now I know where to look for sale bargains.

I don't understand your problem. I have very wide size 7 feet, and often end up with men's trainers. Who cares? They don't have a huge arrow pointing at them, saying "look, she's wearing MEN'S shoes!"

Also- I’m 5’ 11” and quite a heavy build. I just don’t want to look like a dude with long hair.

I think I’m harking back to secondary school in the 90s when a girl who was the same height as me had a size ten foot and had to wear men’s shoes- like, proper Clarks lace-up brogues with shiny toes. These were the days before internet made things much more accessible.

Christ, they’re comfortable.

I bought some men's trainers by mistake once. Was delighted with the extra room for toes.

Hope you enjoy them.

I wear men's shoes, men's socks, men's jumpers and jackets. They all fit better and wear better.

If they fit you they aren't men's shoes...they are your shoes!

I'm another one who buys men's jumpers. I've yet to be mistaken for a bloke. 😊
