It looks like the Altra Lone Peak 7 has been released. Is there any good feedback yet or early reviews?
The changes from LP4.5>LP5, and LP5>LP6 was iterative. But LP6>LP7 is noticeably different -- different lacing, lug pattern, and (for this sub) weight, a difference of ≈14g per shoe.
The weight has gone up rather than down. LP7 are heavier than LP6.
Any folks more experienced that me who can comment on "How much would you notice a difference of 14g per foot over the course of a thru?"
Details below.
Thanks!
