Salomon S/LAB Genesis 2

Direct answer

Salomon S/LAB Genesis 2 is designed as a protective ultra-trail option with a broad platform and 4.5 mm lugs for mixed technical terrain. Its main trade-off: protection and stability for long technical terrain can trade against the lower weight or more direct feel some athletes prefer for shorter, smoother races. Check fit and intended use against your current gear before buying.
