jnr88 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I fell at top speed in rocks when the lacing system on my Solomons failded. I need to tuck them in and one came loose. The lace got caught under the shoe and down I went. I lost the gun and luckily I was the only one injured. For anyone using Solomons PLEASE make sure to secure your laces.

Hatchet Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I could see that happening. Those strings have zero stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phidelt208 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I love mine, super comfortable, but I always tuck the lace, there's a pocket for it on the tug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDee Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I've seen several competitors get their Salomon laces caught on range equipment if they come loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo-Hombre Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Good post. Thanks for the heads up amigo. I usually just tuck the little plastic nub at the distal bight of the cord under the pocket on the shoes tongue, considering this I may jam the whole lace in there!
