I love my trail running genesis, but had a recent sprained ankle as I headed to hike the TMB. My orthopedist & PT told me I had to wear a hiking boot and brace if I was going to continue with my plan to hike the TMB. Thankfully just days before our trip, the Salomon Genesis Mid Hiking Boot came out and I demoed them in addition to 3 other hiking boots. I went with the Salomon Genesis as it was the most comfortable for me out of the box. I hiked 10 days with a 15 lb load and had no issues with my ankle though I was admittedly more cautious than I typically would be on a trek. I did not have issues with blisters which I was worried about because the temperatures were high and boots were Gore-Tex. If you like the Genesis trail runners and are looking for a bit more ankle support/stability, I recommend these hiking boots.
These are great looking shoes but are a bit narrow in the footbed so not perfect with medium or heavy socks.
