We make deliberate choices about the language we use when it comes to gender. But because manufacturers typically market shoes according to gender, we’ve listed both women’s and men’s picks below. However, the main difference between most men’s and women’s shoes lies in the shoe width and size. In some cases, men’s shoes are built to support greater weights. So people with bigger bodies may want to opt for men’s versions, whereas people with smaller bodies may prefer women’s versions.
