The Matryx upper is lightweight yet incredibly tough, giving me confidence on technical terrain, while the energyFOAM midsole delivers the perfect blend of cushioning and responsiveness. The All Terrain Contagrip outsole grips everything from loose gravel to wet rock, and the Quicklace system keeps the fit secure without fuss.

No matter the trail ahead, the Genesis is built to keep us moving with confidence and control. Designed for versatility, this trail running shoe combines dynamic energy return, precision fit, and all-terrain durability to take on everything from rugged mountain paths to hard-packed dirt.

Started off good
The grip and fit are good but after 40 miles the midsole feels dead. I have around 60 miles in the shoe and some of the overlays are peeling and the midsole feels gone. This is my first year running in a higher stack height shoes kind of disappointing. Hopefully the s lab version last longer.

Prefect Traction
I really like that outsole. Combined with the support features it makes for the perfect amount of grip on the trail.

Awesome shoes
I've been buying Solomon shoes for many years and used to favor the XA Pro 3D's but they changed something so that they were no longer comfortable for me and so I tried these. I have to say that these are the best shoes I have ever owned. I wear a narrow size 14 and they fit my feet like a glove. They have just the right amount of cushion, stability, grip, durability and comfort that you could ever ask in a trail running shoe. Well I don't run. I do a lot of hiking and backpacking and have used these shoes in all conditions to my complete satisfaction. And while my feet tend to get very sore after a long hike I don't have nearly the problem with that with these shoes is I have had with others.

Sharp-looking
These shoes are sharp-looking. I got the Black / White / Lemon and wow the colors are great i might change the yellow laces for black ones but overall, I like the color scheme. As for comfort, they are true to size and quite comfortable but the heel seems tight which isn't what I would have expected I also imagine the heel area will break in. I will wear these as everyday shoes and not just for trail running.

Super shoes
My fiancé has had these for about a month and he loves them. They have been great in dry, snowy, and icy conditions so far. The fit and comfort are great.

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.
