I may have to break my golden rule of 'try before you buy', then, as they only seem to be available mail order. Worth a punt for fifty quid though, I can always change them for a different size, eh?

I have done :)
So what's the general consensus? Half a size up, or a full size?
PB, I wear 13.0 Saucony Peregrine, 13.5 Adidas (Adizero spikes and Adizero Hagio racers) and 13.5 New Balance MT110s. I don't know why shoe companies can't agree on sizing.
The only thing I can say about the shoes I wear is that the New Balance, even in 13.5 are the snuggest of the three but also probably the best fitting with least foot movement inside the shoe.
Sorry PB, I hadn't seen your latest post on this when I replied to the last one.
When I ordered my '13s' in the MT110 from SD, I had a good idea they would be a US 14 or UK 13.5. I knew this because of my MT10s and the way NB do their sizing. Have a look at the NB website and the Running Warehouse website (US) which is a mine of helpful sizing info even though you won't be ordering from there. I think a 10.5UK size off Sweatshop would be the way to go (IMHO).
Hope this helps.
Ta. Think I'll go for an 11 when I get a pair then. Looking forward to a moorland trot in them already!
They are supposed to be a tight fitting shoe just like the Minimus are.
It's the versatility that I'm impressed with. I've done a real variety of runs in them now. From a recce of Anniversarry Waltz to a club night run of with a mix of road/trail/fell type terrain and, as long as its dry they will cope with anything. The soles seem hard wearing on all terrain. I did, slightly foolishly, wear them up Sharp edge on a walk to test them out and they really did feel like they had next to no grip on wet rock. Well that's what I put my whimpish clinging to the ridge down to anyway.
I was down in Devon this week and did a coastal walk in mine one evening. It's probably fair to say the grip of the MT110 on wet seaweed covered rocks is poor :o
