I found a shoe I think I'd like. It seems that fila only sells them in Brazil though. They seem to be on every brazillian running site, but none seem to ship internationally. Ideas?

Why?

Why?
This racing flat looks like it has a 24 mm stack height and 6 mm drop. I have some weird deformed feet which cause me to have a NEGATIVE response to high stack racing shoes. That is, I run slower and quickly get injured in the high stack racers on the US market . I've been surviving for years on the streak lt 3 and 4 - although these have never been ideal, they've always caused some pain in my left foot (but some pain is better than the injury other shoes cause). I can only train injury free in low stack, low drop racing flats. My supply of these is dwindling and it looks like they aren't appearing frequently on ebay or poshmark any more. The only shoes that works for me on the US market is the saucony sinister, but I don't think I could race further than a half marathon in them and even that might be problematic. because they're just too minimal for the long distance training I do.
Thus, it makes sense to buy this shoe from Brazil if I can. The only issue is that my size, 10.5, is between 2 sizes in Brazil so the shoe may be either too big or too small - with none to try on, I won't know though.

Base model might be a bit low in the forefoot for me, idk. Also looks like it might wear out fairly quickly. I might try them when my supply of shoes from ebay dwindles.
This Atreyu shoe looks like it has a foamy, not rubbery forefoot sole. I've had most success when the sole in the forefoot was a rubber. The streak lt, adizero rocket, etc. have rubber under the forefoot. This fila shoe from brazil has rubber there.
Reviews for base model show it as wearing out very quickly, like within 100 miles for some people - thats a week!
Just make a contact in Brazil and have him ship them to you.
I play videos games with lots of people from Brazil just use an online Portuguese translator
Also check "hyperspeed"
If you are looking for a lower traditional stack that can go HM+ I'd check Adios(non pro), Brooks Hyperion(non max)
