SalomonMen's Shoe Laces Replacement Lanyards, One Size

This is a good quality genuine replacement Salomon QuickLace.Product arrived and functions exactly as described. Plain black laces instead on the woven fleck like the originals. Not a big deal, just worth mentioning you can't obtain most of their color combos as replacements. Though there should be no need too unless you're unusually hard on your shoes.Several other things to note other than limited colors:Threading the laces through the hard plastic eyelets on my Salomon X Ultra GTX hiking shoes took several iterations. First, cut off the end loops as supplied as there is no way they will ever pass through the lace holes. Then, quickly burn the ends with a match. Count to two. Pinch and mold the softened end of the cord to prevent the melted blob from hardening, you want to form it narrow, as the melted blob will prevent threading through the eyelets no matter how little the bulge as there is zero clearance at all. Alternatively: just trim a little from the ends after passing through each eyelet to remove the frey. Then burnish after complete.Also note: the original laces are seen together very nicely and you won't be able to replicate it. I used a Square-Knot to tie the ends permanently after passing the cord through the slider.In order to pass through the Salomon QuickLace slider, the button needs pressed unusually far, completely bottomed out. (You can Re-Use your old Salomon QuickLace Slider).I re-used the rubber covers, getting them over the square knots by slitting the end of the rubber gaurd to work it over the knot. So my shoes still appear factory and I did not bother to use the weird large, and very hard, plastic end cap that was supplied in this kit.Which leads me to this point: You can Re-Use the QuickLace Slider, and the Rubber covers, and you can use a square knot in the cord to secure them together. Which means you do not need a lace replacement kit to repair your shoes. You only need 1.5mm nylon cord/lace. (Just a hair under 1/16" dia). And, wolah.

Excelente 👌

I wouldn't use these to replace normal laces. They are too thin and I think they would rapidly damage the lace holes.However, they work perfect as replacements for speed laces. They are almost identical to the ones off my adidas shoes. They are a little tedious to replace. I used a little metal tooth scraper to push the laces through eyelets if they wouldn't go. it was a bit of a challenge to get them through the tensioning piece as well, but a little help from the tooth scraper got them through. Then, you have to make sure they are pretty even in length before you tie the knots for the final piece, then cut excess material and melt the ends. I needed a pair of channel locks to squeeze the two pieces together. Probably not the easiest assembly, but not too difficult and only about 30 minutes or work.

Good quality and worked as advertised and seem as good of quality with the exception being the plastic connector. I used a toothpick to help feed the ends through. Also, after you cut the loops; I recommend pulling the outer material beyond the inner core. That way when you fuse (melt) the ends it is smaller in diameter. Some of the reviews talked about the plastic connector and it not holding well. So I took no chance and once I had the ends tied and in the plastic connector; I used JB Weld to glue the string inside the connector and glue the connectors together. It’s been a week and had no problems.

When I got my Salomon trail shoes I was skeptical about these laces. Since then I have become their number one fan. They look thin and less strong than other laces. After several years of use in the woods they did wear out but that would be the average use I could get from any laces. Most other tie laces in the woods need retied on an average outing in the woods and sometimes multiple times a day. That happens even when I double tie the knots. The problem is multiflora and other thorny shrubs tear at laces and find a way to untie your shoes. Well that is where these laces shine. They hold securely and I have never had to adjust them in the field. They are quick to loosen and tighten and they just plain work. I don't mind elastic lacing on shoes I use at home or when not in the woods but in the woods I like my shoes to be more secure. They need to be more firm fitting especially when I am scrambling over rocks and uneven terrain like we have in our parks from glacier deposits. Since I use my shoes mainly in these conditions, these laces are my favorite and the best I have ever had. I did watch a YouTube video to make sure I installed them correctly and was concerned until I realized that they had improved the locking device. It no longer had a removable gear but had an internal spring to make it even more user friendly. With the newer design you push the top down to open the holes to insert the laces from the bottom. If your in need of good laces for heavy use I highly recommend these.
