Nothing wrong with woman's boots. They actually have warmer liners then men's so your feet will stay warmer so that is one bonus.

What's the difference between women's boats and mens?

Different heel, ankle, and calf designs since a womens calf goes waaaay lower than a mans. Different 'insoles', softer flex, cushy/furry liners, PINK!!

Generally most woman's boots will actually only feature. Lower cuff. although woman tend to have a narrower heel and higher instep not many brands will make a woman's shell. Most will be adaptions of men's boots. Woman's liners do differ. Woman tend to have less good extremity circulation then men so the liner are made to be slightly warmer then men's.
So if you have smaller feet or need a softer flex there is no reason that a man can not wear a woman's boot as other then a slightly lower calf and warmer liners not many woman's boots differ from men's.

Lange had made womens specific boots since 2006. I remember having HUGE womens nights at the shop that I worked at for five years. Allllll about how there are finally skis, bindings and boots marketed specifically toward womens different anatomical parts, different feet shapes, their ankles are angles different, different muscle configs, different angles in terms of hip to knee to ankle alignment. There has been a large increase in terms of development for womens gear holmes. There was a day when a ripping chick would be in a mens lange race 100/120 boot with a cuff up close to their knee.

There are still very few truley womans boots though.Molds costs so much that most brands just adapt mens. Only usually very high level boots may have the option of a womans last. There are a couple of womans skis but no womans bindings.
And to be honest most woman who ski really hard still use mens gear.
