Salomon Genesis Trail Running Shoes Men's Fiery Red/Lava Falls/Black Size 47 1/2

Technical trails demand a shoe that can keep up with sharp rocks, loose gravel, and unpredictable terrain. The Salomon Genesis answers with a combination of Energy Surge™ foam and an Energy Blade™ plate, delivering responsive cushioning and propulsion without sacrificing ground feel. The All Terrain Contagrip® outsole with 4.5 mm lugs grips confidently on mixed surfaces, while the Matryx® mesh upper provides durable, breathable protection. A Quicklace™ system and lace pocket keep laces secure and out of the way, so you can focus on the trail ahead.
