Emergency room Made Apr 2, 2024, sent to the company May 15, 2024, published by CPSC May 30, 2024
The product, in the report: Ladies hiking shoes.
(01/18/2024) The consumer was wearing the shoes. She had pulled the plastic tie to tighten the laces. While she was walking, she tripped over the laces and broke her knee cap. The consumer was taken to ER. She had to stay in rehab for six or seven days.
The consumer explained that the shoes had a plastic pull on the lace that is used to tighten the laces. There is a little pocket on the top of the tongue of the shoe where you place the laces. The consumer stated that no one told her about the little pocket, nor were there any instructions about the laces on the shoes or the box. When the consumer went back to the place of purchase, they showed her where to put the tie to keep from tripping over them.
The consumer was taken to ER. She had to stay in rehab for six or seven days.

No one hurt Made Jun 5, 2023, sent to the company Jun 7, 2023, published by CPSC Jun 22, 2023
The product, in the report: 1.) Salomon Speedcross 3 M+S Trail Running Shoes. Size 10.5 2.) Salomon Quicklace lace replacement system
1.) I purchased Salomon Speedcross 3 M+S trail running shoes a couple years back, but have run on them very little since; 2.) The lace of the right shoe broke. Salomon uses a proprietary lace system for these shoes; 3.) I ordered the replacement laces - a “Quicklace” system - from Salomon; 4.) After a lengthy installation process, I finally installed the new laces to factory specifications. Once I finally had the laces properly installed, I was shocked to find that it created a safety hazard, namely: that the black plastic part that connects the two ends of the laces is so heavy in the replacement kit that it works its way out of the Salomon-provided mesh pocket very quickly when in use, causing a tripping hazard. The replacement component is heavier and larger than the original, which is what causes this problem; 5.) I contacted Salomon, explained the problem and safety risk to them. Not only did they not express concern for the safety hazard I reference, they also were unwilling to work with me to resolve my specific concerns.
I would like the following resolutions: 1.) For Salomon’s “Quicklace” product, as it is now, to be removed the market and recalled; 2.) For Salomon to develop a new, safer lace system; 3.) For Salomon to issue me a formal apology, and provide me with a replacement set of shoes.
Thank you for your assistance,

Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Jul 3, 2022, sent to the company Jul 6, 2022, published by CPSC Jul 20, 2022
The product, in the report: Hiking boots that come up around your ankle. Extremely comfortable, but so very dangerous. Here is [REDACTED] description: multi-directional lugs, a seamless, closed-mesh construction and waterproof Gore-Tex membrane. Agile yet really grippy, this mid-height shoe cushions your ankle and keeps you on track whether your adventures take you, from the Lake District to Iceland. [REDACTED]
Last August I bought a new pair of Salomon Cross Hike GTX Hiking boots. They have a unique shoe string that you squeeze and it tightens the looped shoe string. But what I didn’t realize was that because I have a small foot the loop is large. I would tuck it inside my boot, but eventually it comes out. On May 29th, I didn’t realize it had worked its way out of the boot and I stepped inside the loop, which caused me to face plant while I was hiking. I thought I had broken my nose, but it was all right. But I had two black eyes, from my sunglasses, and a swollen nose from landing on it, plus a large gash in my forehead. These shoe strings, when you press the button, create a large loop and there is no place for that loop except inside your boot. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. If I had hit a rock, I’d have been seriously injured. As it was my face was swollen for two weeks because of this accident. The shoes are comfortable, but not practical.
