Style Guide: Pick Your 36 Inch Shoelaces Look
Choosing the right lace can take a pair of sneakers from good to great. Here’s a quick guide to help you find the perfect match for your vibe.
• Rope vs. Roshe-Style
Rope laces bring a modern, technical feel thanks to their diameter and texture. They pair well with more rugged, sporty shoes or when you want your laces to stand out.
On the other hand, Roshe-style thin rope laces give a sleek and minimal look that complements classic low-tops without stealing the show.
• Reflective & Inverse Reflective
If you enjoy blending style with safety, 3m reflective rope laces are a smart pick. Perfect for runners or anyone out at night, these laces catch headlights and street lights for better visibility.
Want a twist? The inverse rope laces flip the usual reflective pattern, creating unexpected contrast and helping your shoes say something different.
• Glow-in-the-Dark
For a playful touch, glow-in-the-dark rope laces are a fun choice that charges up under light and glows subtly in low-light conditions.
Just remember that this is a style effect, not a safety glow. It's perfect for fun evening outings or lighthearted sneaker moments.
Which Shoes Use 36 Inch Shoelaces?
Picking the right lace length can feel like a guessing game, but it’s actually a pretty straightforward science. A good rule of thumb is to consider the number of eyelets your shoe has.
• Typical Eyelet Count & Fit
Most shoes with 4 pairs of eyelets fit best with 36-inch shoelaces. That includes many low-top sneakers, athletic shoes, and youth footwear.
Since every shoe design is a little different, the best move is to count your eyelets or measure your current laces tip-to-tip.
• Quick Sizing Tips
Count the eyelet pairs on one shoe and use the chart below as a quick lace length guide:
-
3 eyelets: 30 inches
-
4 eyelets: 36 inches
-
5–6 eyelets: 45 inches
-
6–7 eyelets: 54 inches
-
7–8 eyelets: 63 inches
-
8–9 eyelets: 72 inches
If you’re between lengths, choose shorter for a cleaner look without excess lace. Measuring your old laces tip-to-tip is still the most reliable way to order the right size.
NOTE: These guides are estimates, and sizing can vary by shoe design. Some laces, especially in longer lengths, may have a slight 1–2 inch variance due to elastic properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many eyelets are 36-inch shoelaces?
Most shoes with 4 eyelet pairs fit well with 36-inch shoelaces.
However, the fit can change based on the shoe design and how you lace them, so counting the eyelets and measuring your existing laces can help you find the best size match.
What’s the standard size for shoelaces?
There is no single “standard” size for shoelaces since lace length depends on eyelet count and shoe design.
As a rough guide, 36 inches is for 4 eyelets, 45 inches for 5–6, and 54 inches for 6–7. Always measure your current laces to confirm.
Do shoelaces stretch over time?
The material matters most when it comes to stretching. Cotton laces can stretch more, especially when wet, while polyester and nylon laces hold their shape much better.
Proper care and washing will also affect a lace's longevity.
