women's basketball shoes .. Help please

[castrolos]

looking for a little help NT. does anyone know how different women's shoes are made in terms of sizing? I know it's a 1.5 size difference, but what about width? are they made more narrow? does anyone have first hand experience wearing women's nikes, preferably, but not limited to basketball shoes? thanks

The last in women's shoes in every category (running, basketball, cross-training, etc...) are narrower than men's. 

 

[castrolos]

this was my understanding. do you own any or have you ever played ball in a pair?

^^^a lot of the newer (sig lines at least) run pretty narrow anyway, so you should be fine with a mens shoe if you dont mind wearing one.

depending on your size, something like a kids lebron would probably work well because they are designed for a smaller person and would offer a little more flexibility than the mens version. In my experience if you wear a 9 or smaller in women's you can usually fit into a childs 7
