Normally buy the Speedcross.
Bought the Genesis GtX as a change and as it generally received excellent reviews.
However, I am not impressed with its grip on muddy steep(ish) wet forested terrain. The Speedcross outshine them easily. I have them a few opportunities to prove their worth....not just a run with the shoes straight from the box. On each occasion I had minor foot slips, did not feel secure or confident and had to slow (I was not exactly pinning it down btw) down. Something I had not experienced with the Speedcross. They felt, at times, like hardened plastic on the sole rather than a grippy base for the foot.
I will keep them anyway, maybe not use them as much, but I am looking for a Speedcross bargain now. I have a steep fast mountain ascent coming up soon. Maybe one more try out.
