Why We Like The Salomon Genesis Shoe
If we are looking for skinny alpine trails, sketchy rock scrambles, and breathtaking views, the Salomon Genesis Shoe will help take us there. Featuring a lightweight, breathable, but incredibly durable Matryx synthetic upper, the Genesis can withstand abuse from rocky trails and scree scrambles. The Genesis features Salomon's Active Chassis for versatile support paired with an Energy Foam midsole for the cushion to give us an optimal balance between comfort and performance. For a reliable grip, the Contragrip rubber outsole deploys 4mm lugs in a chevron shape for a stable center, while the 5mm shoulder lugs ensure traction in all scenarios.

I bought My second pair
I wear these everyday for 3-5 miles walking, absolutely love them, usually with that mileage go through a pair of trail shoes a year. When it came To make the decision what to replace my previous pair with I was thrilled to see they were still available. Worth every Penny.

Durability flaw
Finally able to try these out the other day and was disappointed in the durability of the plush cushioning in the shoe. The Genesis is overall a comfortable trail running shoe, minus the small toe box. However, after my run, I noticed many punctures on the plush cushioning on the sides and bottoms of the shoes. I don’t think this will affect the comfort of the shoe but I’m wondering over time what this can do to the shoe. The lugs style contagrip portion of the shoe is durable and provides good traction but my worries are with the ease of puncturing through the plush.

Excellent shoe!
Just purchased a pair over the holidays. They have a great feel/fit and responsiveness when I'm using them on any terrain. I feel like I can conquer anything in these and will be looking forward to purchasing the Genesis line in the future. Please keep making them Solomon!!

good all arounder
I do need to re-tighten to get a snug fit at the bottom lace area, but good overall.

Very comfortable
I have run in the Genesis for about a month. Very comfortable with sufficient support for a heavy pronating runner. I anticipate that I will get another pair within the next few weeks.

runs a bit small and tight
Havent run enough but seem fine, just annoying I had to return because 8.5 which I wore for years was definitely a size too small

Too narrow.
I don't have an especially wide foot, but in my normal size my foot was so constricted across the forefoot that it cut off circulation - I still had plenty of room in the toes, so it's not that the shoe is too small all around. Sizing up ½ a size gives a snug fit across the forefoot but too much length. Nice shoe otherwise, but unwearable for me. Salomon, one can always tighten the laces a little to get snug fit, but one can't widen the shoe. Either make this several mm wider or offer an 'E' or "wide" width version.

Favorite Salomons so far
Replaced Pulsar Trail with these, have to say they feel like a better shoe in every aspect, also prefer them to the Thundercross.

Decent first impression
Fits to size. Definitely not maximal cushion. Not super clear how the midsole/cushioning is different from the s/lab version. It seems to be the same in terms of specs in the descriptions and from reading other third party reviews, but the s/lab is categorized "maximal" and this model is "moderate" cushioning.

Love these shoes
I bought these shoes and after breaking them in I love this shoes. It will come as no shock but the lace system never disappoints. Keeps the shoes tight while feeling comfortable the whole time. Can’t say enough good things about these shoes.
