Well my local running shop didn';t have the Inov8's in my size (none of them) :thunbdown:
However, they threw me in a wild card, the La Sportiva Crosslite.
Not heard of them before. Tried them and they feel like slippers. The very few reviews I've seen seem to suggest they're good.
....so, I've thrown caution to wind and bought a pair :thumbup:
...watch this space....
