i know that obviously men and women have different type of feet...but is there really a MAIN difference...look at the womens absolutes or the legends...they are incredible...would it make a difference buying a men and a woman boots...what do you think

women always have some nice colors, like with the pulse, and i would try them on in a store or something but they dont make them womens sizes big enough

In terms of other brands I'm not sure, so can't comment on those, but the Nomis women's boot are designed to offer a better fit to the women's foot - primarily around the heel area which is often where women have problem when wearing men's boots. The boots have a narrower last and the heel counter has been made narrower and shorter to be a better fit - There are piccies of this in the Nomis thread if interested.
