    no.

    there are differences between men and women feet. women's feet in general are more narrow and thus there are shoes specificly made for that.

    that doesn't mean that all women have narrow feet, you need to go and try it out for yourself. shoes are one of those things that must be bought in person.

    yeah, as long as they fit your feet and you feel comfortable in them, i don't see why there would be a difference.
    having said that, a guy wearing pink badminton shoes might be in for some comments from his club mates.

    I've seen quite a few girls who wear the SHB-101s (Non limited, Blue) shoes. I think as long as it fits and is comfortable, it doesn't really matter if its for men or women.

    SHB101ltd is what we called unisex shoes. They can be wear for both men and women. If you are lady with wide feet, SHB101MX and 101 LTD is actually better choice than 101LX. Just like the glass slipper, if it fits, wear it.
