How to Choose Your Lace Length

Choosing the right lace length can greatly impact the overall look and feel of your shoes. Follow our easy, step-by-step guide to ensure a perfect fit every time.

  1. Count Your Eyelets. To find your ideal lace length, count the eyelets on your shoe, as this mainly determines the needed lace length.

  2. Consult Our Size Chart. Feel free to use this chart as your handy guide for quick and accurate recommendations.

  • 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
  1. Consider Your Lacing Style. Your lacing style affects the needed length. Untied for a relaxed look, this style may require shorter laces, while tying tightly or wrapping around the ankle requires longer laces.

  2. Measure Your Old Laces. For the most accurate result, remove the old laces and measure from tip to tip to determine the correct length of a replacement.

72 Inch Laces Lacing & Installation Guides

Swapping in fresh laces is quick, but using the right approach makes them look and feel better. Here’s how to nail the fit.

  1. Remove Old Laces. Begin by completely unlacing your old laces. This will give you a clean slate to work with and ensure your new laces will sit properly.

  2. Install New Laces. Start with the first eyelet pair at the bottom of the shoe. Feed each end of the lace through the bottom eyelets, making sure the lace is even on both sides before you begin lacing.

  3. Choose a Lacing Pattern.

  • Crisscross: Start by threading the lace through the bottom eyelets from the outside in, then cross over each time as you move up. It’s classic, practical, and secure for everyday wear.

  • Straight bar: Run the lace straight across the bottom two eyelets, then feed each side up on the inside and across on the outside. This creates a clean, modern look sneakerheads love.

  • Ladder lacing: Begin with a straight bar at the bottom, then bring each end up the sides and across like rungs on a ladder. It’s unique, structured, and adds plenty of visual flair.

  1. Ensure a Tidy Finish. As you lace, pull each section to maintain even tension. This helps prevent bunching and gives the final result a professional appearance.

  2. Accessorize with Lace Locks. For an extra-clean look or to manage excess length, consider adding lace locks to your laces. These accessories add style and keep your laces neat.
