love them! color way is good, have taken them out for a fun trail marathon and they felt great, and the lacing system is always so much nicer than shoe laces obv I'd love them to cost half as much but thats not realistic

S/Lab Genesis
Overall great shoe, great grip, comfortable and lite on my feet. Have put around 30 miles on them with no issues. Would highly recommend. Ps the lace up system is also excellent and quick and easy

Favorite shoe
These last longer than any other Solomon trail shoe I’ve worn. I’ve gone through 4 pairs and each pair comfortably gives me 500+ miles. The lugs on the outsole do eventually wear down. The foam and upper hold up so well. Comfortable right of the box.

Favorite Shoe
I'm a size 11 and it fit true to size. Great midfoot lockdown and wonderful traction on rocky and muddy terrain. I was a little worried with the stack height for stability on technical terrain, but have had no issues. I highly recommend these shoes.

Lightest and comfortable trail runners
1. Very breathable 2. Very Light 3. comfortable and nimble the price is more expensive than non S/Lab version but worth well it the extra premium on top. Durability will be tested soon after Winter/Spring here (live at rainy and super cold region)

Good for big feet
If you liked the fit of the old Sense Pro, you'll probably really like these. Most Salomons are too short in length for me (I typically wear a size 15 US in a Nike), but a size 49 1/3 (or a 14 US) in this shoe fits perfectly. They still have the typical narrow Salomon fit, but their length is slightly longer than their marked size indicates. This model has a lot more cushioning than the old Sense Pro too, which is great for longer days on your feet. It's great to see more companies catering to people with bigger feet, much appreciated.

My first S Labs product
They fit a little tighter than I expected, I think it’s a good thing. Foot doesn’t move in them. Great traction on downhill and uphill, not bad in the mud. They will probably ware fast on the road but they aren’t meant for that. As long as they ware good off road I will keep getting them.

Love the shoe, not the color
I really like the S/Lab genesis shoe for walking, hiking and running. Great support . I am glad they have not changed the structure of the shoe with the updates. I like some color options better than others and this blue and white shoe is not my favorite. Hope to see a new color scheme soon.

Perfect trail running shoe
Was hesitant to spend this much $ on a trail shoe when I have two that I love. This was definitely worth the $! Amazing fit and zero debris got in despite multiple deep creek crossings. The traction was fantastic on wet rocks throughout the trail - only the second shoe I’ve found with great traction! Only complaint is that it seems a bit long, but going down a half size made it too small. Overall, highly recommend this shoe!
