In reply to Juliana Janot. I think I recently saw something about machines like that currently being researched or designed! Maybe in Europe? There are after-market filters you can add on to your current machine, though!

I’m going to buy that guppyfriend bag. But I was wondering, why nobody invented a laundry machine that has a filter to microplastics yet (to not let release them in the pipes/drain)? Are microplastics too small for any filter to catch them?

In 7’s, there is also way more padding in the heel cap and tongue, which to me take away the trail-feel and feels sloppy. Not a fan at all. I can see how to some, the changes seem small in the grand scheme; but, to others hiking and/or trail running is a huge part of their lives and they rely heavily on the gear they’ve chosen being just so. Lone Peaks have accompanied me on thousands of miles over the years & been absolutely amazing….but having worn my 7’s just 20 miles, they’re retired. Never again….I HATE THEM with a passion!!!!

there’s several markets that would love this freedom, with more women taking up roles in traditional male jobs and industries.

These are roles I’ve worked/work in over the last 30+ years
farmer, tradie in a remote site, plant (tractor bulldozer operator, bush firefighter, environmental scientist, environmental law enforcement officer (or in US terms fish & wildlife rangers) ecotourism guide.

& others where I have female friends – civil and environmental engineers, surveyors, drone operators,

I am a barefoot zero drop convert for sure—no going back for me!
I won’t be buying the Lone Peak 7.
I hiked miles and miles in my perfect Lone Peak 5’s, then made the mistake of buying the Lone Peak 6.
If only I had had the foresight to buy several more pairs of the 5!
Oh, yes, the 6 is comfortable, but the lacing pattern is different from the 5, and somehow doesn’t fit my foot as well.
When I first saw the Lone Peak 7, my thoughts were negative, because it looks so “structured” with that front rubber bumper and what looks like built-up sides. Looks like a clunky sneaker.
My opinion is, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
I just wish Altra would bring back the original versions of the Lone Peak.

In reply to Tanya. Sometimes writing to the brand works in these situations! If enough people tell them they prefer a previous fit or design, it can be enough to move the needle and inspire a redesign!
