Our take on the Salomon Genesis Mid Gore Tex Men's Running Shoes

The Salomon Genesis Mid GTX is a waterproof mid-cut trail shoe built for fast hiking and running on wet, technical ground. It pairs a Gore-Tex membrane with a mesh and synthetic upper, an 8 mm drop and a rubber outsole with Salomon's fast lacing. At about 38.5 oz per pair it is light for a mid-cut waterproof shoe, closer to a trail runner than a burly hiking boot. Reviewers like the secure fit and waterproofing; the trade-offs are a firm, less cushioned ride and a snug fit that crowds wide feet.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers treat the Genesis Mid GTX as a fast, waterproof trail shoe rather than a hiking boot. They praise the dry feet, the locked-in fit and the light feel, and note the firm ride and narrow fit as the main compromises.

What people mention
  • WaterproofingPraisedOwners report dry feet through rain, wet grass and shallow stream crossings.
  • WeightPraisedReviewers call it light for a mid-cut waterproof shoe and easy to move fast in.
  • FitMixedThe secure hold is liked, but many find the toe box snug and narrow.
  • CushioningCriticisedThe ride is firm and thin underfoot, which wears on long descents.
  • LacingPraisedThe fast lacing system gives a quick, even, locked-in fit.
  • BreathabilityCriticisedThe Gore-Tex membrane traps heat, so feet run warm in summer.

Questions and answers

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.
