Thanks, but alas Runners world only has size nine and Pauls wharehouse does not seem to stock them. The places I quote above do not have my size either, I think.

Two other options -

http://www.therunnersshop.com.au/orders/shoes.htm
http://www.sportsgearonline.com.au/286/features.html

Maybe give your relevant state or even the national office a call or drop them an email, otherwise you could complete the postcode-retailer locator and ask the more serious supplier in your area to attempt to order it in for you.

Or call your local triathalon club, maybe someone there may have some conections!

None of the previous mentioned retailers will order in your relevent size?

I am after a US 9.5 / 27.5 cm. I am in Japan though, so I am scared about postage. Not sure how much i can afford. I think that I paid about $150 USD in Japan.

Thanks Vazzwells!
Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. I was checking the shops you mention.

No, they did not but it seems that the runnershop may have some in my size and the postage is only 15 AUSD to Japan (which is the same as the GST tax). The only thing to check is the colour. They come in two colours and I like the orange and lime green version. Sportsgearonline has the other red and green.

Thanks again,
Tim

The Forster Tri has now been replaced by the Noosa Tri - same shoe different name and colour.

We have the following sizes available:

Forster Tri 2 x 7.5, 1 x 8, 1 x 11.5, 1 x 12, 1 x 13

Noosa Tri 1 x 6.5, 1 x 7, 1 x 8.5, 1 x 9

The outstanding sizes should be available in Perth early next week (Noosa Tri that is).

I am afraid though I was seeking the same garish pink and orange shoe, and not so keen on the red and green shoe that I have seen on the web (not sure of the colour of the new shoe though). After having checked all the links above and not finding the pink/orange shoe, I went and bought another shoe here in Japan (asics but different - and not all that to my liking now that I have tried running in them) last saturday.

Thanks again for all your help.

Tim
