One other piece of that ultra-slim footprint is that Salomon has at all times provided a fitted heel and midfoot to advertise technical efficiency. As anticipated, the S/Lab Genesis Backbone delivers the identical. I don’t assume I’d name both factor actually slim, however they’re positively fitted, if that is smart. Salomon’s fabled Quicklace system certainly helps on this situation, although I’ve to indicate some like to the booty-like design that provides additional construction across the total foot.
I also needs to take a minute to level out what makes the S/Lab Genesis Backbone totally different from the unique shoe — and it’s not simply that this one has a spine. Actually, the one actual distinction is that Salomon has swapped the higher. It ditched the sturdy, light-weight, technical Matryx higher and grabbed a totally built-in, waterproof gaiter as an alternative.
I’m certain you anticipated me to say extra in regards to the higher, however I consider it like hiring a handyman (or a hitman). It confirmed up, did its job to the extent anticipated, after which went dwelling for the day. There’s no extra to say about it, actually. Did it hold out particles? Absolutely. Was it snug? No rubbing or bizarre folds right here. Did it shed moisture? Nicely, sure, at the least for mud, snow, and a few frozen puddles… to an extent.
