I read mixed reviews on if a woman should wear a man's shoe.  I ordered two sizes smaller than my usual (might do 1 1/2 next time).  I have Gel-Kahana 5 in women's and see absolutely no difference between those and these for men.  The Kahana has proven wonderful for me with my heel problems and wanted a different color than my pink ones.  I will not hesitate to order another pair of men's shoes.
