Salomon S/Lab Genesis 2 review: what runners say
Fit
Precise, snug fit, typical of S/Lab versions. The wrapping midfoot ensures secure lockdown, while the forefoot offers limited but comfortable space.
Feel
Firm, ground-feel ride oriented toward sensitivity on technical terrain. The OptiFoam² midsole adds a higher degree of responsiveness than the previous model while maintaining a stable stance.
Durability
Highly abrasion-resistant Matryx upper. Contagrip outsole with 4.5mm lugs suited for prolonged use on mixed and rugged terrain.
Best for
Shoe specific for technical trail running and rough terrain where maximum stability, control, and ground sensitivity are required.
Weak points
Some users report rubbing in the heel area during prolonged use. The dark colorway tends to trap heat in high-sunlight conditions.
