Why do some ladies prefer men's shoes?

Generally,most women choose their footwear according to vibrant colours and up-to-date design of shoes.Some of women nowadays are tend to wear high heels and some of them are comfortable with wedges.However,according to an internet article,some women do wear men's shoe and this new phenomenon make people keep questioning what are the reasons.In this essay,we will explore the reasons that contribute to this phenomenon through different views such as the comfortness,design,and concern towards other people.

Nowadays,women do consider on different types of footwear for different kinds of situations and occasions.Since the men's shoes has a bigger surface area,they consider wearing them as they are also much more comfortably used in any critical conditions such as during a rainy day or when people tend to be too busy going from one place to another in a day.In this case,not many would prefer to use the women's footwear since they usually have a smaller base area and are not suitable in all conditions such as stilettos.We can also observe that women or preferably female teenagers do prefer men's shoes since has not much details in it and are not vibrant in the choice of colours compared to the women's footwear.

Now,let us move on the aspect of comfort between these two designs of shoes.As for the men's shoes, they are usually used by women with hectic jobs and for those having outdoor activities simply because it gives the best comfort and space needed for the feet.The men's footwear could also hinder the feet from getting blisters and get swollen compared to the women's shoes that do allow the feet to get blisters just for the sake of having shoes with fabulous designs.The women's shoes,on the other hand,usually are not suitable enough for outdoor activities especially those with high cut heels but are much more used in occasions or for office wear.

Considering the aspect of concern on the others, the men's shoes should be given a higher rank since they are very appropriate for women who have feet that are larger or wider than normal while the women's shoes are much more appropriate for normal-sized women.The reason for this statement is simply because of the fact stated by Gregg Hall,an author from New York that says women who have feet that are larger than normal do consider wearing men's shoes since usually shoe manufacturers do not concentrate enough on making shoes widely accessible for these individuals.The expectation is for people in such a category to pay more for customs shoes. Since many women cannot afford for that,they usually would consider just buying men's shoes.They might feel embarrassed at times but it is the best resolution to get footwear than setting overpriced custom footwear.Currently,sales also show that women's shoes especially the international brands are getting a little expensive than before thus making women be spendthrifts since this is not allowed in Islam.

In conclusion, women nowadays do choose men's shoes instead of the women's simply on certain major reasons. Both kinds of shoes do have their pros and cons towards the daily lives of women.It is also advisable for women to practice modesty especially for the Muslims out there in order to follow the laws of Islam.
