Was watching a lecture last night and the bloke was saying he buys womens shoes?
What you think? Its a lot cheaper etc because no women wear size 11s etc

Not while the woman is wearing them, no.
Pink & fluffy doesn't suit me
Nearly bought a women's pair of Vomero by accident the other night. They were black, my size, and I got as far as having my card in my hand before I noticed.
If the heel cup in the mans version is a bit on the loose side then yes.
The women's heel cup is 10% narrower on account of their slimmer heels (allegedly)
🙂
I wear mens shoes for similar reason ...more room in the toe/heel and size 9's generall in the sale!
Wells that's what I meant because I think Mens and womens shoes differ by 2 sizes. I'm a 9 and so buying any blokes shoe in a 9 will be expensive but buying a women's 11! isn't going to be because not many women are size 11.
But its interesting to hear about the heel difference. I get through a pair of shoes every 2 - months and its starting to cost a lot of money. So it was just a thought. I would'nt choose anything too pink
Same for me - I'll buy either, depends on the shoe and the price.
ivor, why did you decide not to buy them, if they fitted and you liked them?
Vicar - men's and women's sizes don't differ as far as I can see. I buy an 8.5 whether I get men's or women's shoes.
Wilkie, thats interesting to hear? I just didn't know if mens and womens feet differed to such an extent that the whole idea would have been rather daft. Might be the way forward
I've used what are marketed as men's shoes for years, in between I've used women's from time to time.
Never noticed any difference, to be honest.
My OH and I take the same size, so sometimes we swap shoes
As Wilkie says, I think the actual shoe sizes are the same for men's and women's shoes.
But the width / fit may differ, as mentioned.
(I don't think I can get men's shoes in a size 4 though!)

You should try praying to another God, Vicar.
To trash a pair of shoes in only two months means He must be testing your faith.
Mine last years, and I haven't even made a pact with the Devil.

Kinky!
Juliefrazz, you can get children's shoes in a size 4 and avoid paying VAT. I used to have some boys' ones (I'm size 5) though normally I buy women's as I do have quite narrow heels.
Start with her running shoes, then it's her work shoes, before you know it you'll be trying the wedding dress on, a very slippery slope
