How do I know what length shoelaces to buy?

To determine the right shoelace length, count the number of eyelets on one side of your shoe and refer to LaceLab’s sizing chart, which matches eyelet counts to recommended lengths—for instance, 3 eyelets need 30″ laces, 5–6 eyelets need 45″, and 8–9 eyelets need 72″. You can also measure your current laces tip to tip for accuracy. The lace length affects both fit and style, with longer laces allowing for wraps or looser looks, and shorter laces giving a snug, clean fit.

What length of shoelaces do I need?

The length of shoelaces you need depends on the number of eyelets on your shoes. Using LaceLab’s sizing guide, shoes with 3 eyelets per side typically require 30″ laces, 5–6 eyelets need 45″, 6–7 eyelets need 54″, and 8–9 eyelets need 72″. Choosing the correct length ensures your laces fit properly and look neat, whether you want a standard fit or a more styled look.

How to find out shoe lace length?

You can find your shoelace length by either measuring your current laces from tip to tip or counting the number of eyelets on your shoes and using LaceLab’s sizing chart. Measuring your existing laces gives the most precise result, while using the eyelet method is a reliable alternative if you don’t have old laces.

How to do the shoe lace trick?

The “shoe lace trick” usually involves matching your lace length to the number of eyelets to ensure a perfect fit. Count your shoe’s eyelets and refer to LaceLab’s chart to choose the appropriate length. For styling tricks like wrapping or loose lacing, select a slightly longer lace to achieve the look you want while maintaining proper fit.

How big should my shoelaces be?

The size of your shoelaces is determined by their length from tip to tip. LaceLab recommends choosing a length based on your shoe’s eyelet count and your preferred lacing style. Longer laces allow for more elaborate wraps or a loose, oversized look, while shorter laces create a snug, clean fit.

What do the lace measurements mean?

Lace measurements indicate the total length of the shoelace from one tip to the other. For example, a 45″ lace is 45 inches long. The measurement helps you choose the correct lace for your shoe’s eyelet count and desired style, ensuring both proper fit and the look you want.
