Got my first pair (speedcross 4) a few months ago and in the box it came in had instructions on the speed lace and where to store it. So im not sure if most people read the instructions lol but i love the shoes. Now looking into the Speedcross 5's
First pair of Salomon shoes. They were a gift. Put them on and noticed the laces. I jumped on You Tube and tou popped up first. Thank you for the help!
@@obstacleactivist9741 yes i seen and i wonder how they didn't figured it out and they walked/run with them hanging or tuck between lower part of laces.
Thanks for the video. I just got my first pair of Cross 5, and I was looking at the laces, thinking “there must be a trick to this”. So, I came out to TH-cam hoping someone would have made a video on it! Happy I found your video.
I kind of knew but it never stayed inside the pocket and kept coming out. I guess because I just shove it in instead of rolling neatly like in the video?? One time it went over the clutch pedal while driving and I swore no more quicklace.
Knew that right off the bat, 1 of the main reasons I loved them sooo much! I don't wear them anymore, but I wish my innov8s had that lacing system. Sidenote, I want my 4 minutes back 😂😂 jk, a lot of people don't know this and you can tell by the number of views that clearly people needed to tune in so great short tutorial vid 👍👍
I owned some of the old reebok spartan shoes and the laces always came loose/undone when I ran in them. Do these shoes ever have that problem while running/racing?
Thank you so much!! lol I just got a pair and was curious what to do with it, so I found myself searching for videos and found yours! Thanks so much, again!
Hey I’m new to spartan races but I’ve competed in marathons before & wanted to compete in a spartan sprint coming up soon and I was wondering if you would have any recommendations when it comes to shoes & if I should wear gloves my first spartan race / any glove recommendations, any help or advice is much appreciated!!
Hey Jake! As I'm sure you're aware with running marathons, everyone has their shoe preference and style that best suits their foot shape and running mechanics. That being said, I'd highly suggest looking at altra, inov8, Salomon, and icebug as good go-to companies for OCR shoes. I personally race in altra superiors linked below. As far as gloves, I always recommend against them. Once they become wet they're useless
Speedcross owner for years and had no idea. I was also that guy who wore them in the gym before! Actually several times.... I needed this video. Oh God I also run on pavement with them way too much.
Thanks. Thought it be somthing simple other than wrapping it round the lower lacers like I do with other shoes. I'll pass it on if I see other people doing it
Okay cut us some slack haha they don’t make instructions or a pamphlet that shows you can do that. Haha i only discovered this several months ago after I owned my speed assaults for around 4 years 😅 i saw a post on Salomon’s IG and i was MIND BLOWN 🤯 Now i educate others who were once like me and had no idea 😁 I ❤️ SALOMON!
i watched the whole video to then find out that the shoes i own arent salomons lol. i got the spartan branced shoes they sell on their website, and it doesnt come with the pocket to hide the lace like the salamon does..... still a good informative video. thanks! =)
Make fun all you want, but read below all of the comments of people who do not know. Many do not know this, and I continue to see people at races and events that do not. Sorry Satan 🤷♂️
I just got my first pair and absolutely love them!! I am happy that I knew what the pocket on the tongue was for BUT one thing I would love to know isssss ... what is the best way to clean these shoes? I just used my Salomon Speedcross 5s for the first time in a Spartan (they are covered in mud) and am wondering if there is a certain way I should clean them besides just spraying them down? Any advice?
Paul Leung my SpeedCross 5s did great!!! I have ran at least 4 Spartan races in various types of tennis shoes and never felt secure wearing my normal shoes. In the Salomon’s every thing was easier, more secure, and comfortable!! I took them out of the box the same morning as my Spartan race. Putting them on brand new I thought for sure I’d have problems because they weren’t broken in. I ran 4+ miles in them and could not get enough of this shoe. Uphill and downhill descent was a piece of cake and so much easier. I was passing people who were slipping in running shoes; and running through water/mud was easy too!! The most surprising part- the shoes immediately pushed the water back out of the shoe while running AND when I finished the race and took the shoes off my socks were cleaner than the rest of me. The shoes kept out nearly all debris, rocks, and mud. Amazing!! Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@@cyaxoxo Thanks for the great review! Since they are so new, not much information about them on OCRs. I thought the aggressive lugs and higher drop would be too much for flatter gravel roads
The 5s are "new" but their virtually unchanged since the speed cross 3s. Very little has changed. If you're running on flat gravel roads, I personally would recommend a less agressive shoe
Just bought a pair and didn’t know, so thanks! Would love to know why they’re called quicklaces though, as I could tie regular laces four times over in the time it took me to hide all that 🤣
What's funny is the pair I just got (4's) has a huge tag on the one shoe with a little picture instruction manual on how to stow them! Don't people look at tags and stuff anymore? Maybe I'm just weird because I still read the owners manuals of vehicles too. Then again I'm never the dumbass that's like "oh wow! I never knew my car did that" either. Lol
I just purchased my first pair and the Salomon instructions consist of a 2 picture diagram where the 2nd image makes zero sense to anyone who doesn't already know "There's a pouch!" ...so it definitely is not common knowledge to a person just putting on their first Salomon quicklace shoes. So you are helping people! (But the teaspoon of snarkiness you include isn't appreciated and definitely costs you potential subscribers.)
Thank you for the input and I'm glad it helped you. I sincerely wasn't trying to be snarky or rude, that's just my personality. I just had to laugh making this video sometimes because I have people like in the previous comments making fun of me for doing this video since it was such "common sense" despite others telling me they legitimately did not know. I see it every single race I go to and tell people
No one ever knows that..... dude really? Every single person I know who own speedcross shoes know this. Was hoping this video could show some new information but no, just basic knowledge.
Just checked Xt6 wings 2 it also has this feature. At my local shop every salomon is tied up and threaded though bottom lace instead of tucked inside tongue.

Can I use these for a spartan beast ??
Just bought a pair, answered MY questions 10/10 great
Thanks!
What is the price of these shoes
They range from $90-130 depending on size and color on Amazon
@@obstacleactivist9741 thanks I m from Pakistan.

Sure thing!
I don't have this shoes, but maybe consider buy in the future.
Searching bout this shoes, and this came out. Thanks !
Lool, i went into a shop, tried a pair and figured that out in like 10 seconds. I thought this video is about something else!!
I'm glad you did! Unfortunately as you can see with the other comments, not everyone did 🤷♂️
@@obstacleactivist9741 yes i seen and i wonder how they didn't figured it out and they walked/run with them hanging or tuck between lower part of laces.
Thank you, had them for a year and never knew this 😀
Hi buddy! Man , this video is pure gold , I didn´t know what to do with the lace excess, thanks a lot!!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the video. I just got my first pair of Cross 5, and I was looking at the laces, thinking “there must be a trick to this”. So, I came out to TH-cam hoping someone would have made a video on it! Happy I found your video.
Glad it helped and I hope they work well for you!
i have been wearing them for 4 years,i was today years old when my life became heaven
Thanks👌😁😁
Hahah glad it helped!
Just wonder how we could make a heel lockdown with the quick lace system which we could not make a runner's knot?
I've honestly never tried a traditional heel lock with my caterpy laces. Not sure how well it would work since they're elastic
The info I got said tuck the lace in & nothing about the lace pouch..
I just bought these and was wondering. Thanks for the tip. It turns out that the instruction tag on the shoes does show this.... Just really badly
Yeah Salomon has never really done a great job instructing this haha
I just bought a pair and had no idea!
No more having it flap all around! Haha
Ditto. Just got given a pair and came to TH-cam to find out how to use the toggle. :) I feel no shame.
No shame needed!
Just bought my first pair and was seeking this information. Fortunately, this was the first video I found. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Hello i got one pair of these at the thrift and it really helped me thanks❤
Thx. Yet, rolling up and tucking in takes longer than traditional laces. Speed? Right. 🤔🙄
😂😂😂
Just bout the speed cross 6 for my husband and there was even a lace up diagram WITHOUT this method. So yes, thank you!
I kind of knew but it never stayed inside the pocket and kept coming out. I guess because I just shove it in instead of rolling neatly like in the video?? One time it went over the clutch pedal while driving and I swore no more quicklace.

Not at all
Apologies for the delayed response
Thanks! just bought a pair of 4s today. The instructions are pretty archaic lol
Haha yup, that's how it was when u bought mine too. It's so simple, yet they do a poor job of show casing it
I just bought a pair today and you help me so much!
Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Just got a pair- had nary a clue what to do with the excess laces. Thanks
But my supercross salomon doesn't have the pocket..... on that side... how
I've never work the supercross, so that I cannot unfortunately answer
Thank you so much!! lol I just got a pair and was curious what to do with it, so I found myself searching for videos and found yours! Thanks so much, again!

I just bought x4 new and the picture instructions are unclear and poor. You were the answer thanks.
Dude. 1 year later I watch this and it has changed my life 🤷🏽♂️
😂😂😂 glad it helped man
I've been wearing these shoes since 2016 and this video is 2 year's old And funny I didn't know all this😂
It's ok, most don't know lol
Literally just got these today and wasn’t sure what to do. Found this video right away and it’s gonna save me a lot of headaches. Thanks!
👍👍👍
Thank you! I had no idea and the excess lace has been a huge pain.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this video.
Great help thank you so much for this. I am considering to get a pair of this model.
Lace garage. Works great.
This is help me so much! Thank you.. All this time all i did is tuck the access string in.. Just check it.. Yup.. There's a little pocket 🤣
Haha glad it helped!
WOW BRUH. Is water wet too? 🤯🤯🤯
Make fun all you want, but read below all of the comments of people who do not know. Many do not know this, and I continue to see people at races and events that do not. Sorry Satan 🤷♂️
Yea dude not everybody knew so get over IT SATAN
The salesgirl at Cabela’s showed me this cool little feature today 👍
Light-bulb moment 😳
Haha it really is. I had the same reaction

No tricks to it honestly. I always take my stuff to the nearest car wash and power spray my shoes for a couple minutes. Clean right up!

What is the price.please
Damn, i had at least 3 pairs of such shoes and now, when i got my 4th pair and i watched this video i only find out where to put the laces 🤣

New to these shoes and I was like da fuq? Thanks for the video!
Haha sure thing!
If you needed a video to figure this out, well, you're not the brightest person ever.
I also didnt know about this first 2 weeks of using shoes
This dude took 4 minutes to explain “put the laces in the tongue pocket…”
I have a speedcross 5 with a pocket for it. so no problem.
I did not know. Thanks!
Don’t break your laces.
A pain to change them.
Get shoes with normal laces.
10/10👍
This video didn't have to be more than 10 seconds
Ou my god thanks god for your video
Yes, you could have just read the instruction card. Doh.
Dude... Seriously... You just educated another owner. Thanks man, had em only for 3 months. Pfew! This also helps keeping it tight I guess.
Thanks for making me look like a D.A. hahahahaha really thanks brother!
Hahahah sure thing 😂
The more you know🌠
Amis hand hald ed vill glick beim denka 🤦
Everybody owned a salomon shoes already know this..
Look at the comments below, clearly not..
I didnt Know it and i have had salomon shoes before so not All knew it but thanks to this Great dude we do know
i have them 3 years i didnt realize i can hide it lol
Haha well you know now!
I just put them on the most buttom part of the lace, same effect.
Hey whatever works!
This video did not have to be four minutes long
Salomon call it a 'lace garage' and it's been there.. forever1
A lot of people are unaware when they buy the shoe as you can see with comments below so 🤷♂️ not all salomon's have them either
@@obstacleactivist9741 only Salomon's with a more traditional lacing system are without.
Will sand for me

Omg !!!!!
Well duh!
You'd be surprised lol
These ones are fake
Not sure what you mean by fake lol. I bought these direct from Salomon over two years ago
