do shoes have gender for you?
are there shoes you won't wear because they're for guys only or for ladies only?
here are two pairs of shoes.
on the left is a pair of hush puppies lace-up sneakers.
it's my first time to see and wear knitted shoes.
it's light and the sole is flexible, but it can feel hot after a while.
(here we usually call sneakers rubber shoes.)
on the right is a pair of sperry topsiders.
i know they are called boat shoes in the us.
topsiders and penny loafers were popular here during the '80s.
it actually fits me, but i passed it on to a nephew instead.

The ones that I see in picture look gender neutral. I will wear them if I find them comfortable.

we say unisex here. i don't usually wear sneakers, but i'm starting to like this. i was tempted to use the topsiders, too, but i'm sure it would benefit my nephew more.

That makes sense @hereandthere I don't even own a pair of heels.

i don't wear heels unless required, like when i'm part of a wedding entourage and even then it's only like an inch and a half

@hereandthere I feel odd, if it meant for other gender.

The shoes I buy to wear I like and it doesn't matter to me if they are for men or women.

Actually the ones I buy now are for women but some could be for either one. I love the ones I buy and I have some very comfortable ones and sandals I love too.

I'll definitely wear them both. It's how you wear it that matters, I guess.

even here, it's hard when you have big feet.

The ones in the picture can be worn by both sexes, I had worn low cut converse before and Speary Topsiders but when I buy shoes I see to it that it is specifically under " men's "

Depending on the clothes I am wearing, I would wear either one. I have a pair of "boat shoes" made by Lands End, in red. I think they make my feet look big, but they are leather, and feel comfortable, so I will wear them sometimes.

i normally avoid red. then my sister handed down red loafers and later red mary janes and i liked them.

I never really thought of that! As far as sneakers go, I can barely fit in a women's size . . . I often go for the boy sizes as they seem to be built sturdier. But I guess I do discriminate to some degree - wanting them to look "feminine".
