"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""This is my go-to shoe for unpredictable conditions where I need protection, grip, and all-day comfort. The integrated gaiter keeps the junk out, and the midsole rides smooth no matter how sketchy the terrain gets.""For long adventures where the trail is more of a suggestion than a path, we lace into the Salomon S/LAB Genesis Spine Trail Running Shoes. These trail dominators are crafted for pushing deep into backcountry terrain, offering reliable traction, secure fit, and high-mileage comfort in one purpose-built package. Designed with rugged mixed terrain in mind, the Genesis Spine features All Terrain Contagrip® for confident footing across loose rock, mud, and slick slabs. The zip gaiter wraps the ankle for extra protection from debris, while the Profeel Film and SalomonFOAM midsole keep us feeling smooth and responsive through extended outings. From alpine ridgelines to remote valley traverses, these shoes are made to go far, stay light, and keep us grounded."
