    So I bought Asics 1120V. Quite comfy. It took only a little adjustment to shift to this shoes from using Mizuno Wave Lightning 5. People from this forum were right. The cushioning is great.

    However, when I looked at the shoebox, I found out it was for a girl. It's written "women's shoes". Does anybody know the difference between the structure of the shoes for men and women? They look the same, at least in this shoe model's case. Is it gonna affect my performance as a player?

    Haha. It's quite embarrassing for a guy to wear a girl's shoes. :p No wonder my size was bigger when I bought this. LOL! :eek:

    Your shoe is unisex, women's shoe cutting is just slightly narrow & tight (woman's feet not wide as man's). Color scheme is alright, I've seen this model color wore by men, mostly.

    If it works, why not? As long as its comfortable and gives good support, I don't see the reason not to.

    Same model, Women's shoes are always cheaper than man's so what's wrong.

    Really? That's cool. Thanks. Now I know I'm not the only one wearing ladies shoes. :eek:

    Is the first pic below SHB-89L?

    It doesn't look like for women.
    My asics doesn't look like one either, I think. :eek:

    Your Asics look pretty darn cool actually!

    Also, somewhere in here, there is a picture of Tony Gunawan wearing a pair of SHB90LX, which is a ladies model as well.
