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.

Review Summary

Here's what customers have to say
The trail running shoe is generally well-received, with praise for its comfortable fit, excellent grip and traction, and responsive cushioning that provides a smooth and enjoyable ride. The shoe is described as lightweight, breathable, and stable on technical trails, performing well in various conditions. However, some users found the toe box too narrow, and a few experienced durability issues with the midsole foam after higher mileage. Overall, the shoe seems to be a versatile and capable option that many customers are satisfied with.

Versatile and comfortable!
After researching various trail running shoes I landed on the Genesis and am very happy with my purchase! I'm training for my first 50k and needed something durable but comfortable for the long-haul. I'm here after two runs (7 miles & 17 miles) both on trails and was pleased with how they helped me crush my training goals! Many more runs to come! Note they have a more standard fit toebox.

Great trail running/hiking shoes!
These are some of the most comfortable and well made trail shoes I have had. I find them true to size and wide enough in the forefoot to not feel constricting.

Super slippery on rocky surfaces！！
I have two pairs of trail running shoe and have no problem when I were wearing the other pair of trail running shoes ran on wet rocky surface terrain, but it was totally different situation when I ran with Salomon Genesis. If trail in your home town contain a lot of rocky surfaces terrain, definitely don't recommend this shoe！！ And the fast lacing system will get loose after a long period of time of running.

Great shoe
This is the first shoe I've bought multiples of. It's got a winning blend of being reasonably light, comfortable, feeling secure underfoot, and stability. Some folks gripe about the quicklace system but it works well for me.

Everything I’ve come to expect from Solomon
These shoes were a nice change from the speed cross which were a little bit too solid for me. These give fantastic support -especially on side to side movement- and a more cushioning while still feeling responsive for more technical runs.

Salomon are great shoes!
I rarely leave reviews, but I had to make an exception for this line of shoes. From the moment I slipped them on, I could tell they were something special. The comfort is unmatched, no break in period, no blisters, just pure support and softness right out of the box. I've worn them for long walks, daily errands, travel, work, workouts you name it! I’ve got several different pairs for what I may be doing. They’ve honestly made a huge difference in my day to day comfort. The quality is outstanding. Even after the beating I give each pair. I get compliments all the time and people are always asking where I got them. I recommend Salomon to anyone and everything. If you're on the fence just do it, it’s an investment in your feet. You won’t regret it. These shoes have become my go to, and I’ll definitely be buying more pairs

Genesis shoes!
Bought these shoes last May, switched from the goretex so my feet could breathe more. Im finally ordering a new pair! After a year and a half, so needless to say these shoes are great! I live in alaska and outdoors is a lifestyle. Great comfort, support and flexibility. Love the no tie lace technology and breathability was great. Awesome shoes! Will stay with salomon

Best value mountain ultra shoe
When it comes to mountain ultras, I don't think there's a better value. Great upper, good fit, and plenty of grip. No issues whatsoever and holding up well after 300+ miles so far.

Great Option for arch support
I usually go for the classic XA PRO 3D, but this gave me enough support to get me thru short runs and everyday use.
