Men’s edition · 18 current shoes

Salomon's trail range has two levels. The standard shoes each cover one kind of run: the Genesis 2 for most runs, the Ultra Glide 4 for long days, the Speedcross 6 for mud, and the GRVL shoes for road and gravel. The S/Lab shoes are the race versions: lighter, closer fitting and more expensive.
