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?

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.
If you're not running fast enough, walk instead!!
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
