Does it matter if I buy men's or women's Nike running shoes?

I want to get Nike + shoes (the ones you use with the iPod connector/sensor) for Christmas, but it seems that I like a lot of the colors in the men's section rather than women's.





If I'm buying, let's say, Zoom Jasaris, what's the difference between the men's %26amp; women's?? Aside from the size/color? Is the shape/fit/comfort exactly the same?

You really need to try them on first.





The fit will be very different. A men's D (standard) width is NOT the same as a women's.





And I know you really might want the Nike product for the iPod functionality, but most runners would agree that Nike makes fairly dismal running shoes.





Go to a running shoe store, and let them measure you and watch you run. Base your decision on your feet.

WHATEVER fits and feels the best, it doesn't matter if it's men's shoes, women's shoes or horseshoes --- well, maybe the horseshoes would matter :)





As far as the differences go, I've found that men's shoes are wider all the way around.
