Length & Compatibility: For most Vans low-tops, such as the Authentic and Era, our 36-inch laces are a great default choice, providing a clean, classic fit. Taller, more substantial styles like the Sk8-Hi will likely require a longer length, so our 54-inch laces are a common and reliable option.

How to Lace Your Vans Thick Laces
Proper lacing ensures a comfortable fit and showcases the bold, chunky look you’re going for. Here are a few simple steps to help you get that perfect Vans aesthetic.
-
Line up both ends of your lace and feed them through the bottom eyelets so they’re even.
-
Cross the laces over each other and thread them into the next set of eyelets, repeating this all the way up.
-
At the top, tie a solid knot that feels secure, then trim or tuck any extra length for a clean finish.
-
Want extra hold? Add a lace lock to keep your fit tight and your style sharp.
Vans Thick Laces: Care & Maintenance Tips
Chunky doesn’t mean extra hassle. Our thick laces are built to handle daily wear, whether you’re skating, walking to class, or just keeping your Vans in rotation.
Taking a few minutes to care for them helps keep their look and feel fresh.
-
Quick clean – Slip your laces into a pillowcase or mesh bag, then toss them in a gentle wash with mild soap. It’s simple and stress‑free.
-
Dry the right way – After washing, pull them straight while still damp and lay them flat to dry. This keeps their crisp shape and smooth finish intact.
-
Watch for wear – Check regularly for fraying, broken aglets, or stretched spots. If you spot these signs, it’s time for a replacement so your Vans always look clean.
Thanks to materials designed for lasting color, the shades stay vibrant wash after wash, whether you prefer classic black, bright white, or something more colorful.
