Need help choosing size for first ever Altras pls!
Hi runners, I currently use a pair of Hoka Clifton 10s. My normal shoe size is 8.5 (UK) and half a size up (9) for my Hokas. I want to slowly transition towards zero drop and given my foot shape (wide toe box, flat arch), I think Altras are the best choice. They also seem to have some of the best zero drops for my foot shape. 97% of my runs are on the road (every day) and I don't race (I run cuz I love it).
I have determined that the Experience Flow 2 would be the ideal choice as it had a wide toe box, built for road running, and has a 4mm drop which is a midpoint between my current 8mm and the goal of zero mm. It also seems to be a bit better than the Flow 3 (according to reviews) on certain parameters. It's also cheaper than the Flow 3.
What I am struggling with are the Altra shoe sizes which is the most confusing thing I have ever seen! So, with all the information above, can anyone help me at all to determine what shoe size I should go for?
p.s. - I know I can try them out in a physical shop but the running shops near me didn't have Altras and the nearest one that does seem to have one is miles away!
Thanks for your inputs in advance.
