Altra Lone Peak 7 Mens Trail Running Trainer Red/Navy/Orange - UK 11

I've been wearing Lone Peaks since the 4's; they have always been a perfect fit and absolutely comfortable right out of the box. I recently purchased the 7's and am terribly upset at what the company has done to this shoe. Upon putting them on, I could feel that my toes and inside of my forefoot are no longer supported by the bed and sole! They just slide right over the edge. I will say that the sole is the same shape as previous iterations. However, something within the shoe is different. I've been sorely let down by this company as I thought I had found my forever shoe brand. Do better Altra.

I have been wearing Lone Peaks since the very first model. My favorite pair was either the 4.5 or the new 6s. After being so stoked with the 6s I figured the 7s would be good. Unfortunately, the lone peak is not what it used to be. I have been wearing 10.5 in every single pair I have ever owned, the 10.5 of the 7 was almost a whole thumb too long and pinched in weird areas. I also do not like how they made the material much thicker in the heel and around the whole shoe. Made it much more uncomfortable, much hotter, and does not dry nearly as fast after creek crossings. (Which will be a major issue this year due to the heavy snow in the Rockies). The colors are also awful.
