ALTRA MEN'S LONE PEAK 7 Taupe Size 8.5

The Lone Peak 4 was the greatest hiking shoe in the world for me. I have very wide feet and struggle with almost all shoes. I've tried every version since 4 and they keep getting worse. It's like they've taken every thing that made them so popular and changed it. They're too narrow and they don't last. Still I keep buying new versions hoping they'll be better. Unfortunately, I won't be buying any more in hopes that you'll go back to what made your shoes so great.

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.
