- Is the Genesis Mid GTX truly waterproof?
- Yes. It has a Gore-Tex membrane and a synthetic mesh upper, so rain, wet grass and shallow water stay out. Water can still enter over the collar in deep crossings.
- How does it compare with a hiking boot?
- It is much lighter and more flexible than a leather boot, with a running-style 8 mm drop. That suits fast day hikes, but it offers less stiffness and protection for heavy packs or rocky scree.
- Does it fit wide feet?
- It runs snug, and Salomon's normal width is on the narrow side. Runners with wide feet often size up half a size or look at a wider model.
- What is the drop and cushioning like?
- The drop is 8 mm, and the EVA foam midsole is on the firm side with moderate cushioning. It favors ground feel and speed over plush comfort on long days.
- Can I run in it?
- Yes. It is built on a trail-running platform, so it works for wet-weather trail runs as well as hiking. The mid-cut collar adds ankle coverage but also warmth.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of shoes with the Ortholite insole fitted. Insoles are removable if you use your own.
