Delivering excellent underfoot performance, the Salomon S/Lab Genesis shoe offers reliable grip, superior protection, and long-lasting comfort for technical trail running adventures.
The welded Matryx upper is a tightly-woven mesh that prevents debris from getting in the shoe while still maximizing breathability. Coupled with an ultra-lightweight QuickLace system, this construction provides a close, glove-like fit. The stretch collar acts as a low-profile gaiter to keep out dirt and debris.
In the midsole, lightweight and responsive Energy Surge foam uses a combination of EVA and Olefin to deliver cushioning and energy return. Flexible Profeel film in the forefoot dampens the impact on rocks or sharp surfaces and maximizes efficiency. A molded EVA sockliner further enhances fit and comfort without adding excess bulk or weight.
The Contagrip rubber outsole has a raised tread and a unique, two-part lug pattern that offers an adaptable, secure grip on technical surfaces. A toe cap and extra protection on the side of the shoe provide protection from trail obstacles so you can run confidently in rocky terrain.
With a 30mm heel and a 22mm forefoot, the shoe has an 8mm drop. It weighs in at about 18 ounces per pair (varies by size).
Sold in pairs, the Salomon S/Lab Genesis trail running shoe is a unisex option available in full and half sizes.
