Are mens shoes (sneakers, tennis shoes, trainers) made wider than their womens’ versions?

Trish C asked:


I have wider feet and some styles of womens’ shoes I want aren’t available in wide, so I was wondering if I could buy the mens’ version and if they’d be a tad bit wider? My feet aren’t that wide, just a little in the toe area.

    Probably, because guys shoes are bigger in the width.

    Yes they are. You can see this for yourself if you buy insoles for shoes, there’s a pattern for cutting them down and sizing them, it’s easy to see the difference.

    Yes they are. Mens sizes are one size larger than a women’s. If you take a six women, you would take a 5 in a mens. Basically, you would go a size lower than your shoe size. A mens shoe is a wider shoe unless specified as a narrow shoe or sneaker.
