I found a nearly-new B17 online locally for a reasonable price. Have been wanting to try a Brooks for myself but did not want to pay full price. (Actually, I never really want to pay full price. LOL)

Is there any reason why a men's wouldn't be a good idea? I'm not petite, so if width is the only difference, I am willing to try it.

I was surprised to see that it is still available this morning, but that could be due to the color, which is blue -rather than honey, brown or black. Not a deal-breaker for me; it would go well with my bike.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
