Men's/women's shoe question

I've got sort of an odd question. I bought my mom a pair of Reebok Princess
tennis shoes (white) and it turned out they don't fit. I lost the receipt
and can't return them. They fit me perfectly. However, I'm wondering if I (a
male) could get away with wearing them. My guess is no, but I thought I'd
get some opinions. I've tried them on because I thought she and I had
essentially the same size foot so if they fit me, I figured they'd fit her.

Why don't you think you can "get away" with wearing them? They're not
particularly feminine shoes. The only thing you might notice is they
cause slight pain or sensitivity at the upper back of your ankle until
the shoes break in. Women's shoes tend to be slightly narrower in the
back than men's shoes are.

Go ahead and wear them. I've worn Reebok Princess style for years
without even a second glance. I suggest you try other women's shoe
too. I hardly wear men's styles any more and I don't have any
problems. Good luck!!!!!

You could try painting them black and drawing some flames down the side...

Mr. Clean...

if the shoe fits, wear it.

or sell 'em on ebay.

Sure. As others have said, they're not feminine or anything. I
actually kind of like them (and I'm a guy), so go for it. After a
couple wearings when they don't look "new white", all will be good and
nobody will even notice 'em.
