I am a woman and bought this shoe in a Mens size because I have wide feet and Mens sneakers are made wider than a womans.  Well I hate to say it but this shoe is VERY narrow for a Mans shoe.  It is very tight on my feet and will have to be worn several days/weeks to be worn in (which you're not supposed to have to do).  I absolutely LOVE the color (royal blue) and have had compliments on them already but I wouldn't wear these to run in because they don't have enough cushioning in them for my liking but they were good for the price I paid for them (less than 1/2 off).  If you just want a nice looking sneaker and you don't have wide feet then these are perfect for you :o)
