Lace Muncher?

I wore my spanky new SM lites this weekend and they were ace, comfy straight out of the box and no blisters or rubs.

However they have pretty much trashed a pair of laces already, is this a common Salomon problem or do I have rogue lace munchers?

Two pairs of Salomon boots (supermountain 8s and the protreks like hedley) and never a munched lace. HTH

Darn, I seem to have a rogue muncher....
Yep I've got a pair of SM Lites, no great problems with the laces except that the solid tags at the end of the lace (must be a name for it)are splitting making it harder to re-thread after cleaning my boots.

On my experts they just seem to keep coming undone.

I got SM 9 Guides when they came out some years ago, they nearly crippled me even after sustained attempts to crush my feet into their shape.
However, to this day I carry the laces from them in my sack as spares.

Yeah Mark, you're not alone mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine munched their laces in extra quick time indeed,,,, WEIRD!!!!!!!!!

Been fine since i changed to Yachty string,, its good, & just alter the laces every now & then so they don't wear on the same spot all the time. You only need to pull them through a few milliletres to a fresh spot.

My troubles are way beyond laces though,, wish it was only the laces that were gone on mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me soles are falling off after only a very gentle 7 months, no mountains, no ice, no abuse at all. Unreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Very disappointed as i love them to bits!!!!!!!!!
