Ian - I expect it could be along wait for the surgery but you never know, with cancellations and a willingness to travel it might not be so long.
WP - good idea to look for alternative shoes, watch out for those dodgy websites. 😉 . If you put your favourite model on runrepeat.com it could come up with similar shoes for you to look at.
I don't even run in the same model of shoes on consecutive days, only exception is if I'm away from home and without my car, then I'll wear my marathon shoes for recovery run the following morning. My shoes usually
vary from 8 - 12 mm drop.
10mm is considered a fairly high drop, perhaps anything lower might not suit you.

WP - definitely a minefield. The latest trend is to now change/reduce the drop so it's worth checking the model year on year.
Unbelievably some shoes the drop differs between the mens and the women's model.
Ideally you'd be better visiting a running shop at some time and trying on a few to see what feels right for you.

That was my thinking andone that holds the shoes I want to look at. Nearest is Cardiff and in my size.
I have a list few shoes to try but not many 12 mm drop.

Although most of my shoes are 8mm drop, my preference is for 10mm.
Next time you go to Cardiff then. There must be a decent amount of running shops there and department stores.

I think I've run 75% of my marathons in Adrenalines. I still have some for training and still love them but don't use them for racing any more.
They hold their price better now, so popular that hard to get them at a knock down price
