Going to a shop involves a specific journey as the decent running shop isn't near home or work (and doesn't really fit with work hours!) Will be doing mainly treadmill work for now but need to do a lot more training with my 2015 plans! Thanks

When I need new shoes, which will be soon in the New Year, I shall be going back to Coventry Runner to get their advice.

For what it's worth I'd Google the 13s and see how different they are to the 11s, then either buy them or not. (Disclaimer - the above approach has led to a roomful of shoes as I "either like them or don't" every few months)

They do feel different on. In my (limited) experience I'd advise going into the shop to buy in future I don't think I would buy online again. Luckily my new shoes will be okay but they aren't quite the same
