Manufacturers typically market shoes according to gender, so we have listed both women’s and men’s picks below according to the language used by the brands. 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. We encourage everyone to shop according to their personal preferences rather than feel restricted by marketing lingo.
