I’m fairly consistently a euro 44 and that holds true for the hokas. That includes ASICS, saucony and altra. I use euro as looking in the altras at least they claim to be a Uk 9...
Onto my second pair of the spe versions and they’d be my choice for triathlon as the upper is one piece, and about 100k into the v2 x’s which I think I like even more as the upper feels less flexy and is more connected to the foot. The separate tounge would make them a no no for normal distance Tri though as you’d have to fish it out after putting them on..
Like Phil, I find hoka cushioning to be a firmer ride which is better for my feet, as they begin to hurt quite quickly if I get stampy so I get less injuries, the Nikes are lovely but i suspect if I did any volume in there I’d have a Morton’s neuroma flair up within a couple of weeks..
Have to say I love the carbon xs and I haven’t noticed the weird heels on them.
Good track session this evening doing km reps, pleased with a 3:35 8th and final rep, 9 weeks to the marathon..!
