Hoping it improves
Yes , I recommend this product
I have taken them out on three runs so far. My low/flat arches seem to tolerate this shoe well. I did trails with gravel and wasn’t loving how many rocks I could feel under foot. I also experienced some toe rubbing on my pinky’s once my foot was past the 20km mark. I was hoping to use these for a 50km ultra. But I don’t know if they are comfortable enough to make the full distance. It’s unfortunate cause I need to find another shoe now or they improve with a few more runs. I think it’s a great shoe but I don’t feel confident it can go the distance

Excellent trail/walking shoes
Yes , I recommend this product
These Genesis 2 trail running shoes are excellent. Comfortable right out of the box with no awkward break-in time on the heel. I wasn't sure I would like the quick lace system but I actually really do. I had to get the hang of them at first but now they feel more secure than standard lace-ups. They are true to size and the witch is perfect for my feet. I have a high arch and feel supported too. There is a good amount of bounce and they feel suctioned to my feet. They are stable and enjoyable to walk/run in.

Genesis 2
Yes , I recommend this product
I have worn Genesis for the past 2 years. I need a wider toe box and this shoe gives me the space that I need. The shoe is comfortable from the first time I wear it. I walk approximately 30 to 35 miles per week and this shoe keeps its shape and comfort for several months. I have worn this shoe on the past 2 Caminos de Santiago that I have walked and I never had any blisters or for problems the entire Camino.
