      I wouldn't go as far as saying that men suck...  It's more that women are silly to jump on everything that's pink or pastel... And I admit I had my own phase of it. But I'm over it and I wish shoe manufacturers knew that some of us ladies also like the darker, manlier models. I run in Newtons Distancia and they only come in that barfing pink with a neon green line on it. Argh!!!!! But the shoe is comfy for me, so I've learned to live with the ugly color.

       

      I like the first one, FS. Could you wear a size of it that fits you? Like the smallest size they have in that model?

        Maybe it is just me, but that trail shoe has all the attractiveness of a chewed up piece of gum.

          LOL... I guess I have no taste, then.

            I would not say that, just different tastes, which is perfectly normal and appreciated.

              If there's a rule that women can't wear men's shoes... I break it regularly.

                  No rule, but my concern is whether it EXACTLY like the women's version, stability and stuff you know? I don't want to get into a new colorful cool pair of shoes only to start having shin, knee or calf issues again.... especially as I get closer to beginning training for my first marathon.

                  And honestly, I love that color (pooh on you LRB ) but I don't know if I really need another pair of trail shoes yet................hmmm

                    I would hope that the majority of straight women suck...............

                      If I were to try these shoes, what size would I be in them? I wear a size 8.5 for women's running, so what would that be in men's?

                        I use men's running shoes too, as bluerun.  I actually feel the Mizuno men's shoes fit better than the women's.
