The Salomon Genesis Mid GTX is a men's mid-cut hiking boot with a Gore-Tex waterproof membrane, a synthetic and textile upper, and a foam EVA midsole. It weighs about 13.6 oz per boot with an 8 mm drop, so it sits in the light-hiking class rather than the stiff mountaineering class. The quick lacing system and Ortholite insole are aimed at day hikers and fast packers who want waterproofing without a heavy leather boot. Against burlier rivals it gives up stiffness and long-term durability, but it is easier on the foot out of the box.
