Looks like @Thomas_Brady hacking the navigation system of Ever Given to block the Suez Canal and delay the arrival of vital running supplies has paid off this time
And Dublin bursting at the seams with quality running shops that would have your shoes on your feet within 36 hours,
RunHub has a great selection of running shoes and gear
Itās a waste of time trying to do a time trial in that wind, impossible to get into any sort of rhythm
I checked the websites of about 12 Irish shops before buying my Hoka Torrent. Not a single one of them stocked them in my size. Contacted a few directly - including Run Hub - and none of them were able to get them in. They stopped at size 12, whereas I was getting a 12.5

Iāve never heard of an adult using half sizes
I wear a European 48. Thatās normally a 12. Hoka size small so a 48 is a UK 12.5 but US 13 
Salomon size the same. A 12 is a 47.3 EU size
I had the same issue for astro boots and opted for a size 13. Need thick socks to cover the shin pads.
13ā¦ Jaysus.
Iām generally need a 12 but need a larger size for soccer for shinpads and thick socks. The shinpads are a must for a flair player at the mercy of hatchet men.

I wear a half size.
Nothing ever uncomplicated with you is there 
Iād be 11.5 with my runners.
Thereās plenty of other places I can kick you.
Always go up a half a size for running shoes,
In which case we all should have half size shoes for either running or wearing about
When I played a bit of Astro I actually wore 12 in a few pairs of Nike and they were fine. Iāve never tried Nike in a running or trail shoe actually.
For trail shoes itās always better to have them slightly too big than snug. If youāre going down any kind of steep descent your foot will push forward, and from past experiences if the shoes are too tight your toes will get absolutely beat up.
A lot of people who run long distances (marathons and ultras) would always go half to a full size up as the feet swell. I read a race report from some woman who ran the Kerry Way before (approx 200km) and she went a full two sizes up to allow for the swelling that was going to come, and I thought that was madness.

I never bothered with shinpads as I was one of those hatchet men.

Skirted the edges of South Armagh this morning @Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy. Thought we had gone over border but there was another fence we were to hop over in retrospect
