I wear size 13. Sales hardly stock my size. Even shops at Queensway only carry size 13 for selected models (usually top-end range). Probably to sell to ang mohs.

Just went IMM to try on Newton Gravity & Newton Energy.

For Gravity, its really a pair focused for forefoot runners, Energy is like more like a transitional model if one is thinking to switch frm heel strike to forefoot, the lugs are shallower.

Not really sure if forefoot is my method.

Will go try asics ds trainer before i make a decision.

I also eat full no shit put, went to those stores you mentioned. Don't have size 13 leh. Largest size they have is either 11.5 or 12. Even their size 12 seems smaller than normal. Why I know? Because certain brands of size 12, New Balance for example, will fit me.

More importantly is to wear your existing shoes (or bring them along) so that they can see the worn out pattern of the rubber soles. Certain models are more durable in the forefoot, while many focus on the heel area. They can also recommend you the right shoes based on the impact and compression zones of your old running shoes.
