We make deliberate choices about the language we use regarding sex and gender, but shoe manufacturers market their products to men and women. Anyone can get diabetes, but the main difference when it comes to shoes is body size. “Feet and lower extremities are shaped differently, as well as sizes and body compositions — depending upon someone’s sex assignment at birth,” explains Jason R.
