Salomon Genesis GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes

No matter how wet and wild the weather gets, the Genesis GORE-TEX keeps hustling. Equal parts comfortable cushioning and dynamic support, its rugged and durable components are prepped to push through any adventure. Agile and stable, with an ultra grippy outsole for full confidence in changing terrain, even when things get loose.

Matryx Upper

The Genesis has been constructed using Salomon's unique Matryx construction, to keep your feet protected, cool and comfortable on the trails. The materials are highly durable and abrasion-resistant, to protect your feet from knocks and bumps and provide you with a long-lasting pair of shoes that you can rely on for every adventure. The fabrics are highly breathable to help prevent overheating and keep feet cool and cosy on long trail adventures, whilst moisture-wicking properties help to reduce a build-up of sweat and moisture, therefore keeping feet dry on the move. To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, a GORE-TEX membrane resides inside, supplying a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside; keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy. Strategically placed overlays further protect the shoes from damage and keep your feet shielded from rocks and debris. The shoes have a cushioned tongue and collar to keep you comfortable, reducing the risks of irritation and keeping your feet secure. Working alongside this, the Quicklace system allows you to make changes to the fit of the shoes with ease, further keeping them secure and feet locked in therefore preventing in-shoe slipping from occurring.

Energy Foam Midsole

Built on a springy and comfortable midsole compound that delivers punch and pop while smoothing out your landings for a fluid ride, the Genesis provides lightweight and responsive cushioning. Energy Foam is a lightweight, springy and resilient foam compound that powers your stride forward. This lightweight, responsive foam has been created by combining EVA and Olefin [OBC] to deliver long-lasting cushion and bouncy energy return. Additionally, the Genesis has an Active Chassis to provide a great amount of support, helping to prevent injuries from occurring and keeping feet comfortable.

All-Terrain Contagrip Outsole

Crafted with an All-Terrain Contagrip, the outsole perfectly balances geometry with rubber to deliver confident running on a wide range of surfaces. The outsole has a unique two-part lug pattern along with a raised tread, which offers an adaptable secure grip, even on difficult terrains and sketchy situations. The deep lugs can anchor the foot into the wet and muddy ground, securing you into place whilst also forming a solid base to push off from. This durable outsole is trustworthy on a wide variety of surfaces, making the Salomon Genesis the perfect long-lasting running companion for any trail.
