The UV3 is a 'fast-hiking' shoe with essentially zero grip on rocks (IMHO it loses all reason for existence with the MTNR3 coming out). rmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10388816006350828762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-8437524733614477952023-05-16T06:44:04.527-06:002023-05-16T06:44:04.527-06:00Updates to review posted.Updates to review posted.Jeff Vallierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106877622296558733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-6199356701476462212023-05-10T08:08:29.625-06:002023-05-10T08:08:29.625-06:00Thank you for letting us know, Jeff.

And they sound like the long-distance counterpart to the beloved Sense Pro 4, maybe...<br />Please post a comment when the update is released.<br />Greetings from Switzerland!<br />Antoine.Antoinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375916430910280635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-9737096703887637852023-05-06T18:46:18.506-06:002023-05-06T18:46:18.506-06:00I was able to get a review pair, as has Jacob Brad...I was able to get a review pair, as has Jacob Brady, so our input will be added here soon. In my normal size 10, I have been especially pleased with them and find them to be excellent in technical terrain, despite my narrow, low volume feet. I think they are the best long distance Salomon to date (if you don't judge the look of them), or great for any distance/terrain for that matter (though the Sense Pro 4 is my favorite go fast Salomon).Jeff Vallierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106877622296558733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-69520568158539413032023-05-06T18:22:43.824-06:002023-05-06T18:22:43.824-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeff Vallierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106877622296558733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-19369365260886190632022-12-09T08:52:41.322-07:002022-12-09T08:52:41.322-07:00Thank you very much for your reply, Sam.

Since this review I passed this pair on to Morgan Elliot who ran them at Golden Trail Madeira and will be joining the review shortly. He is usually a US9.5 and I am a US8.5 and this pair is a US9 it fit him well so there is a slight sizing issue here which in part caused the fit and mid foot stability issue for me. I do think the midfoot is usually broad for a Salomon. I now have a pair in my US8.5 and things are better. Both pairs purchased as Salomon did not provide samples. We will be updating the review with Morgan's and my updated take after a few more runs <br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-33924154657147784302022-12-09T07:08:10.371-07:002022-12-09T07:08:10.371-07:00I am a big fan of RTR!

This review is the only one quite negative about the S/Lab Genesis among numerous extremely positive reports (especially from Europe, so far).<br />Would it be a good thing to make a <b>multi</b> tester review on RTR?<br />Thank you for this great resource for us, runners.<br />Antoine.Antoinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375916430910280635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-22781042693812808472022-10-29T05:29:33.179-06:002022-10-29T05:29:33.179-06:00I'm surprised too by the review.. as far as i&...I'm surprised too by the review.. as far as i'm concerned, it's my best mountain shoe since a long time.

Genesis has a more agile less protected front feel and about the same heel cushion. As far as upper fit, in regular sizing Genesis clearly has more room especially up front. <br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-81473851539381644132022-10-08T14:28:35.181-06:002022-10-08T14:28:35.181-06:00How about a comparison with the Hoka Speedgoat 5? ...How about a comparison with the Hoka Speedgoat 5? Seems they fall into similar categories. I love my Speedgoats, but had to retire at only 360k due to midsole packing out.

So far, I have been pleasantly surprised with how stable it has been, especially given the wide toe box and me having a very narrow foot. I felt like the heel was very locked in, and the midfoot, though wider than most Salomons still had a decent hold, on the sides but mostly from the upper holding it in. I think it's a much better version of the UltraGlide with a much better foot hold and stability. It is more dense, and a little more form witting than the UG, even with a wide toe box. I didn't like the UG because I didn't feel like it had any hold on my foot.<br /><br />Perhaps having a bigger size through this off for you? Or, sometimes opinions are just different. But again, I do love your reviews.Nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-8307830883011914662022-09-21T12:07:38.063-06:002022-09-21T12:07:38.063-06:00Hello RTR not sure what direction Salomon is going...Hello RTR not sure what direction Salomon is going with in this shoe.
