I've run technical trails and snowy pavement in Minnesota for years on Speedcross GTX. Tried the Genesis for the promise of a bit more stability and pronation control. This shoe is much, much wider than Speedcross has been. Hopefully Salomon isn't going for that "American fit" and the Speedcross 6, which I'll order once my return goes through, won't also be this wide.
I bought these as a replacement for my sense ride 3s, which I sadly retired. I heard these were more similar to them than the new sense ride, so I ordered my usual size 9 and ended up having to exchange for a 10! So for me, the length is shorter than I expected but I like everything else. My foot is narrow and I like that I can adjust the width of these pretty easily
Bought those over a month ago. Fast delivery and easy order online. Size (7US) is perfect, I’m usually a 7 or 7.5, but Salomon are made a tiny bit bigger. The GTX version is great for rainy days, but tiny bit hot for summer. They are super comfortable and light. And the colour is awesome!
I am so grateful Salomon makes a wide toe bed shoe, I have both the regular and gor tex in the Genesis. I love how they fit and look. I need the wide toe bed but my heal stays in place. Thanks Salomon
Bought these knowing I was going to a rainy, wet place. They kept my feet dry and I noticed someone slipping on wet surfaces, but my Genesis Gore-TEX were gripping and not slipping!
I have worn these for the past month, three times weekly trail hiking, averaging 10km/hike. Very comfortable from the start, nice and light, but do feel they are a little warm...
I bought these a month ago and am really enjoying wearing them. They are comfortable and light and a pleasure to wear. They are exactly what I was looking for.
Love the boa system, it works great for me and stays tightened while I trail run. There's a secret pocket for the boa, so it's not flying around while you run.
So comfortable and great grip for my trail runs. I have a wider foot and fits well, feels stable.
great for keeping feet dry in muddy wet conditions
