I think a woman could wear them. And I am over 60. Well over 60.. and I have the neatest pair of sneaks in pink, red and a cream plaid. And they are my happy shoes. My daughter and one of my grand daughters wear the same size shoe.. Naturally, while my daughter and oldest grand daughter stopped over, my grand daughter heads for my closet because I am the Diva of shoes. Sure enough she came out wearing them. Grand Mom.. when you'e tired of these, can I have them? She left wearing them home.... Thank you Payless!!!
