Take on wet, rocky and technical trails with confidence in the Salomon Genesis 2 GORE-TEX, a versatile trail running shoe built to handle unpredictable conditions without compromising on comfort, grip or stability. Designed for mixed and technical terrain, the Genesis 2 combines a protective GORE-TEX waterproof membrane with a durable Matryx® upper and an upgraded activeCHASSIS™ for confident, controlled movement across the trail.
The 8mm heel-to-toe drop and soft, protective cushioning provide a comfortable platform for longer trail runs and adventures, while the lightweight 291g construction keeps the shoe feeling agile underfoot. Salomon has also widened the midsole platform and redesigned the activeCHASSIS™ to provide improved stability and guidance without restricting your natural movement.
Underfoot, the redesigned All-Terrain contaGRIP® outsole features 4mm lugs and enhanced lug geometry for reliable traction across wet, muddy, rocky and loose surfaces. Whether you're tackling technical mountain trails, muddy woodland paths or mixed-terrain adventures, the Genesis 2 GORE-TEX is built to keep you moving with confidence.
The GORE-TEX waterproof membrane helps keep rain and surface water out, making this an excellent choice for autumn and winter trail running when conditions can change quickly. Meanwhile, the breathable and abrasion-resistant Matryx® upper provides the durability needed for regular off-road miles.
Finished with Salomon's QuickLACE™ system for fast, secure adjustments and an endoFit™ internal sleeve that comfortably hugs the foot, the Genesis 2 GORE-TEX is a dependable all-weather trail shoe for runners who want one pair capable of handling a wide range of terrain.
Best for: Trail running, mixed terrain, rocky and technical trails, wet and muddy conditions, autumn/winter running and all-weather adventures.
