Running shoes Salomon GENESIS

The Salomon Genesis is a versatile trail running shoe designed for distances from easy runs to ultramarathons, suited for heel strikers and runners seeking a balanced ride on moderate to technical terrain. It handles everything from groomed trails to off-trail adventures and performs well across flat sections, climbs, and descents.

The midsole uses Energy Foam (EVA and OBC blend) offering soft, bouncy cushioning with good energy return and ground feel, complemented by a ProFeel film for forefoot protection. The shoe provides neutral support with an Active Chassis TPU system for lateral stability and a rigid heel counter for secure hold. The Matryx upper combines durability with breathability through its Kevlar-reinforced mesh construction, featuring a Quicklace system and fully gusseted padded tongue. The Contagrip outsole has 4-5mm multidirectional lugs in an aggressive chevron pattern for traction on varied terrain including wet, rocky, and loose surfaces.

Weight is 275g in EU 42.5 with a stack height of 33mm heel and 25mm forefoot, giving an 8mm drop.
