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.

Mine are too small, at a size 3, and DS's shoes in the same size are too narrow.
I'm stuck, although my trainers don't look dainty or pink anyway.

yay for suzzane! now all you need to do is invent and patent it, we will all buy some!

Maybe you could "pitch to rich" (richard branson) I saw some posters for that on the train the other day Grin

Or go to a bespoke shoemaker.

I wear 'women's' trainers for exercise as I have found a particular brand and style that fit me well, but I wear 'boy's' trainers for everyday wear - there's no difference.

Try different types out and see how they fit (don't go on size, go on feel - for e.g. my feet day to day are a size 4, yet I wear a size 5.5 sport trainer due to fit).

I'm sure better brains than mine are already on the case with 3D printingWink
Manufacturing will be utterly revolutionized, there will be no jobs in factories no need to import finished products ?

Yes they are

I wish someone would invent Mook size. It's sort of a short triangle, wide at the front, narrow and low at the back, size 2 ish, over pronator.

I had the running shop stumped. I eventually got used to my wide size 4s.
