i wanted to love her I have several Altras and it was exciting to have a few that I could reliably use in the snow. They are too narrow in width. Much narrower than my Lone Peak 6, 5s or 4s. Why? Also every step. A loud popping sound can be heard at the top of the sock as the waterproof liner flexes and folds. He also rubs his leg there. It's terrible. I don't know how QC approved this design. I tried pushing my foot forward or backward, loosening or tightening it. Nothing gets rid of the loud popping sound. If you go in, everyone else will get angry. I'm wondering if all the deep variations produce the same bang?
