What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Genesis is my go-to trail shoe when I need a balance of agility, support, and durability. 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. Whether I’m running mixed trails or rocky routes, this shoe handles it all."
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. The energyFOAM midsole provides lightweight cushioning and responsiveness, helping us maintain speed and comfort through changing terrain.
Durability meets innovation with the Matryx upper, a high-performance textile reinforced with Kevlar for abrasion resistance, breathability, and a locked-in fit. The EndoFit internal sleeve wraps the foot for a precise, glove-like feel, while the Quicklace system ensures a fast, secure fit every time. Underfoot, the All Terrain Contagrip outsole grips confidently to wet, dry, hard, or loose surfaces, making sure we stay stable and supported no matter where our runs take us.

Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
The shoes offer excellent cushioning and shock absorption, making them comfortable for long-distance running and hiking. They provide impressive traction and stability, even on wet, rocky, or technical trails. The lightweight and breathable design offers a responsive, agile feel. However, the toe box may feel narrow for some, and traction may be lacking on very wet or slippery surfaces. The midsole cushioning can also break down prematurely after high mileage.

Great support
Love the ability to put my size 14 narrow foot in the shoe and lace it up wo the toe box bunching up. I also like the arch support for my flat foot.

Very comfortable, I love the no laces I can slip on and off and tighten if needed. Exactly what I was looking for.

Excellent Trail Shoes
Then Genesis trail shoes are by far the best I’ve used in over 15 years of running trails. They are comfortable, durable, breathable, and fit true to size. These required zero break-in period and I took them out for 20 miles right out of the box with no discomfort or blistering. I have worn them for multiple 20-25 mile runs in mud, rain, and humid conditions and have not had to adjust them once during a run. Beyond comfort they provide exceptional performance with solid grip and support on all technical terrain while giving me great feel for the trail. Next up is a 50k and then 50 miler and I expect them to keep performing.

Great shoes!
I'm getting ready to order my THIRD pair. The comfort is great, really nice looking and I have well over 400 miles on these guys and they feel like I can get some more. These are so good I bought my wife a pair of the women's Genesis, which she loves.
