Salomon GENESIS 2 GTX W Trail Running Shoes

The Salomon GENESIS 2 GTX W trail running shoes are designed for female runners looking for a reliable pair for trail running on varied terrain, featuring a waterproof membrane suitable for winter runs. Designed for women, they combine responsiveness, comfort, and stability, thanks to a technical construction engineered for extended runs. The Matryx® upper and All-Terrain contaGRIP® outsole provide protection and control on a variety of surfaces. The 8 mm heel-to-toe drop and weight of approximately 255 g contribute to a balanced feel between cushioning and precision in your stride.

Stability and dynamic comfort for trail running

The Salomon GENESIS 2 GTX W trail running shoes are designed to deliver impressive responsiveness while maintaining comfort on all types of terrain thanks to their optiFOAM™ midsole. This lightweight foam provides high-performance cushioning, allowing you to cover trail kilometers while minimizing impact on your feet and joints. The 8 mm heel-to-toe drop, combined with a sole height of 33.5 mm at the heel and 25.5 mm at the forefoot, provides stable and progressive support, which helps you maintain control on descents and on rolling terrain. The activeCHASSIS™ frame contributes to stability by guiding the foot through each stride, helping you maintain a safe path when the terrain gets technical.

Waterproof protection and precise support for winter

Designed for the WINTER collection, these trail running shoes feature a GORE-TEX membrane to protect the foot from moisture during runs in cold or wet conditions. This waterproof protection keeps your feet dry while maintaining the supportive qualities of the Matryx® upper, an abrasion-resistant synthetic fabric. The endoFit™ construction precisely wraps around the foot to limit unwanted movement inside the shoe, promoting a secure feel on uneven trails. The QuickLACE™ lacing system simplifies adjustment, providing even tension across the instep—useful for quickly fine-tuning support before a descent or a more technical section.

Versatile traction and controlled stride on varied terrain

The All-Terrain contaGRIP® rubber outsole provides excellent traction on a variety of surfaces, from forest trails to rockier paths. With a 4 mm lug depth, the GENESIS 2 GTX W offers the right grip for runs that alternate between loose surfaces, firmer sections, and changing terrain. Weighing 9 oz—about 255 g—it remains relatively lightweight for a protection-oriented trail shoe, helping to maintain a fluid stride without unnecessarily weighing down your movement. By combining this versatile outsole with the activeCHASSIS™ structure, the shoe is designed to provide good foot control during changes in direction or variations in terrain.

The Salomon GENESIS 2 GTX W trail running shoes combine optiFOAM™ cushioning, a GORE-TEX membrane, and a contaGRIP® All-Terrain outsole to offer a technical solution for female trail runners seeking responsiveness, stability, and protection in winter conditions.
