REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Salomon Kevlar Replacement Laces 2 Kit:

I use these laces to replace the regular kind on all my running shoes - in the photo they are thin, and in real life they are too, but they are super strong. The laces that come with Salomon shoes are also thin, so these are no different.

They come in a super long length too, so you will end up with extra lace. You can lace them in the shoes in the normal fashion and not use the loops at the ends (I cut them off).

I will say it takes patience to put them together. People complained about the hole being too small - it isn't. I found that using way less pressure works better and it snaps right in.

When you get the vice grips out that's way overkill and by that time you have anger! But just fiddle with it enough and lightly snap it together and it works.

I've had about 5 pairs of these so far and they work great on Salomon or non-Salomon shoes.

It'd be cool if they made them in different colors, but probably a lot to ask since these are specialty item.

Comments about Salomon Kevlar Replacement Laces 2 Kit:

I tried everything to get this thing together. Can't get the quick release to mount . I used vice grips to pull as hard as I could to line the hole in the wheel up and it still won't snap in. The hole in the wheel is too small. I just tie the laces like a normal shoe instead. Pretty much a waste of money and effort.

Comments about Salomon Kevlar Replacement Laces 2 Kit:

My favorite pair of shoes is as good as new after my puppy got a hold of them. Easy to follow instructions, the repair took about 5 minutes a shoe (the little copper tube is your friend!). A lot of extra lace for a pair of running shoes, but easy enough to trim as long as you have a lighter handy for the ends.

Comments about Salomon Kevlar Replacement Laces 2 Kit:

I absolutely love my Salomon XA shoes and over many years have had numerous pairs. While rare, the laces can break. Fortunately, shops like REI sell replacement laces. Unfortunately, the instructions enclosed with the laces are totally useless. Check any number of blogs and you'll read a lot of frustration by Salomon owner who can't make any sense of the included instructions.

Alas, Salomon has come to the rescue with an excellent instructional video on YouTube. Follow these instructions and you'll quickly be out your next adventure wearing your re-laced Salomon's.
