That's exactly what we're trying to figure out. I never knew that shoes excluded anybody, but apparently this is a problem that these shoes address.

Doesn't it just mean that it's for men or women?

Well, despite all of these ridiculous culture war terms and desperate marketing ploys? the answer is, no, not really. Often times, men and women have differently shaped feet. Not drastically so, but in general a women's shoe requires a narrower fit in the toe box and in the heel to avoid blistering and slippage. Therefore, any shoe designed to work for "everyone" won't work for most. This is why they sell shes in different sizes, widths and (traditionally) genders.

I think NB pulls mores to the right. In the past they've donated towards Trump's campaign. Lol No one talks about Timberland logo and past, here we are still wearing them in 2025.

Hey - I didn't know what you meant about the brand history so I googled… what you're referring to about the brand has been confirmed to be an internet hoax.. the brand nor logo has a dark history.

It means it's neither for men, nor for women. Only for androgynous folks.
