    Using Airalo app on CF

    Yes you are right, but I hadn't prepared and was stuck in the moment and had to resort to my AT&T line. Truthfully at the time I thought I was just using my cellular AT&T for the one call but I turned the whole line on which triggered the day use charge of $10. So it is worth it to prepare ahead...

    Using Airalo app on CF

    No its not. I also prefer zero-drop (I wear Altras as my daily sneaker), but 5mm is still very minimal. That's what my Asics Trabuco Max2 have and I have been able to adapt seamlessly.

    …and my shoes are sold out (Altra help/recommendations!)

    The Topo Athletic ULTRAVENTURE 3 is the comparable plush trail shoe to the Olympus 5. It also has the best in class Vibram full outsole as opposed to the Olympus somewhat problematic Vibram inserts glued onto the midsole. I haven't tried this brand yet but they seem to be garnering very positive...
