Salomon S/Lab Genesis

Salomon S/Lab Genesis review: what runners say

Fit

True to size in length. Wider forefoot compared to other S/Lab models, with a narrow midfoot; medial support noticeable in the first few miles, then fades.

Feel

Midsole strikes a solid balance between cushioning and response: high ground protection, pronounced energy return, connected trail feel without excessive stiffness perceived underfoot.

Durability

Designed and tested to 800 km. Matryx upper (Kevlar yarn) is abrasion-resistant; lateral foam reinforcements extend upper longevity.

Best for

All-mountain trail from training to race, with a focus on ultra distances (100 miles and beyond) on mixed terrain. Suited to runners seeking protection and response without sacrificing weight.

Weak points

The level of ground protection reduces proprioception: some runners report a higher rate of ankle rolls due to overconfidence. The internal bootie can cause irritation when worn without tall socks.
