Ideal for Trail runners who want a stable, protective, grippy shoe for mixed and technical terrain a few times a week, and who value durability and confident footing over race-day speed.
Trail shoes in NORMA's database last between 320 and 850 km across 315 models. At 570 km, the Salomon Genesis 2 sits in the lower half of that range.
The Salomon Genesis 2 is a versatile trail shoe built to handle mixed and technical terrain. It pairs a durable Matryx Kevlar-reinforced upper with a high-grip All-Terrain contaGRIP outsole and 4mm lugs, plus a revamped activeCHASSIS and a wider midsole platform for stability. optiFOAM cushioning is soft and protective under an 8mm drop (33.5/25.5mm stack). At 10 oz it sits in the do-it-all trail category rather than being a dedicated racer, and Salomon positions it for 2-3 runs per week. Reviewers rate it solidly at 4.1/5, pointing to its stable, confident ride across wet, dry, hard and loose surfaces. A dependable everyday trail companion for runners who want grip, protection and durability over outright speed.
