- Is the Genesis Mid GTX truly waterproof?
- Yes. It has a Gore-Tex membrane and a textile lining, so it sheds rain and splashes. Water can still enter over the collar in deep streams.
- How does it compare with the low-cut Genesis?
- The mid version adds a higher collar for ankle coverage and a bit more protection. It is slightly heavier and warmer than the low-cut shoe.
- Does it fit narrow or wide feet?
- Salomon lists normal and narrow widths. Owners with wide feet often report a snug toe box, so consider sizing up or trying them on first.
- Is it stiff enough for backpacking?
- It is a flexible, fast-and-light shoe. It suits day hikes and light packs; heavy loads call for a stiffer boot.
- What is the drop and weight?
- The drop is 8 mm and the listed weight is about 346 g per shoe. That puts it among the lighter waterproof mid shoes.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of shoes with the quick-pull lacing already fitted. Spare laces are not included.
