For anyone interested I got the sizing sorted for the Inov8s - I ordered a pair of 10.5 and 10s because I though the 11s just felt so damn huge. Turns out 11 is def the best fit - in the 10.5s I could get my toes to hit the end of the toe box.
The super roomy toe box threw me off in a big way. But the fit is actually great now I'm used to it. Zero drop on the other hand is going to take a bit more getting used to - my calves are on fire!!!
I've been running in zero drop shoes for years (the influence of reading Born to Run just as I stated to like running) and it took about 3 weeks for the calves to stop aching. If I run to work more and then put on work shoes with heels I feel like I'm tiping forward for the first half an hour!
knees already feel the benefit - but yeah was guessing it's a few weeks of adjustment. I'm not striking on forefoot, much more mid foot - but still feels good.
