Close Is Good Enough.
Laces are more forgiving than shoes. If the exact length you want is out of stock, go up one size and lace a little looser, or go down one size and use one fewer eyelet. The difference between 48" and 54" is not dramatic once they are on your shoe.
One Exception To Watch For.
A handful of sneakers have eyelets set unusually far apart, which uses up more lace than the eyelet count alone would suggest. If your shoe looks wide across the throat, size up one length.
Shoe Lace Length FAQ
What is the standard shoe lace length?
Most standard sneakers take a 48" to 54" lace. The exact length depends on how many eyelet pairs your shoe has: 4-6 eyelets usually needs 48", 6-8 eyelets needs 54", and 8-9 eyelets needs 63". Use the eyelet chart above to match your shoe, or measure your current laces as described below.
How do I measure my shoe laces?
Pull one lace fully out of your shoe and lay it flat (not stretched). Measure tip to tip in inches, then round to the nearest size in the chart above. Measuring your stock laces is the most reliable way to pick a replacement length.
What length laces do I need for 6 eyelets?
A shoe with 6 eyelet pairs typically uses a 54" lace. If your shoe has 6 eyelets but sits higher on the ankle, you may prefer 63" for easier tying. Browse all lengths here.
How long are Jordan 1 laces?
Air Jordan 1 Highs generally use a 63" to 72" lace, and Jordan 1 Lows use about 54", depending on how you like the tie. Shop exact-fit Jordan Replacement Laces in every length.
How long are Jordan 4 laces?
Air Jordan 4s typically take a 63" to 72" lace. Grab a matching pair of Jordan Replacement Laces.
How long are Air Force 1 laces?
Nike Air Force 1 Lows use roughly a 48" to 54" lace, while Mid and High versions need a longer 63". See our dedicated Air Force 1 Replacement Laces.
Do flat and round laces use the same length?
Yes. Length is determined by your shoe's eyelets, not the lace style, so the chart above applies to both flat laces and round rope laces.
Where can I buy replacement shoe laces?

Ribbon shoe laces are wide, flat fabric laces that tie into a full, soft bow instead of a thin knot. This 3-pack gives you three gingham ribbon laces in one order: Black Gingham, Orange Gingham, and Green Gingham. Each pair is 1 inch wide and 48 inches long, made for low-top sneakers.
Every pair has finished aglet tips, so they lace through eyelets like any other shoelace and keep a clean look.
Three Gingham Ribbon Laces in One Pack
- Black Gingham: A classic black and white check that works on almost any sneaker. The easiest way to try ribbon laces for the first time.
-
Orange Gingham: A bright orange and white check that adds a pop of color to white or cream low-tops.
- Green Gingham: A soft green and white check with a fresh, preppy look for neutral and earth-tone pairs.

Will 48 Inch Ribbon Laces Fit My Shoes?
48 inch ribbon laces are sized for low-top sneakers. Wide laces take up more length than thin laces when tied into a bow, so if your shoes have extra eyelets or you like long, loose bows, check our Shoe Lace Size Chart before ordering.
How to Tie Ribbon Shoelaces
Lace them flat through each eyelet without twisting, so the check pattern faces up across the whole shoe. Straight bar lacing shows off gingham best. Even out both ends, tie a standard bow, and pull the loops wide so the ribbon fans out. Ribbon is smoother than a round lace, so a double knot helps if you want them to stay tied all day.
Ribbon Laces FAQ
What are ribbon shoelaces?
Ribbon shoelaces are wide, flat laces made from ribbon-style woven fabric. They tie into a bigger, softer bow than standard laces and are used to give sneakers a custom look.
How wide are ribbon shoelaces?
Ribbon shoelaces are usually much wider than standard flat laces. Ours are 1 inch wide, which gives a full, fat lace look while still fitting through most sneaker eyelets.
Are ribbon laces the same as fat laces?
Fat laces is the general name for any extra-wide shoelace. Ribbon laces are a type of fat lace with a softer, fabric-like drape and patterns such as gingham and checkered.
Can I use regular ribbon as shoelaces?
You can, but craft ribbon has no tips, so it frays and is hard to thread through eyelets. Ribbon shoelaces are made for lacing, with finished aglets on both ends.
Do ribbon shoelaces come untied easily?
Smooth ribbon can loosen faster than round laces. A double knot keeps them secure without hiding the bow.
What shoes look best with gingham ribbon laces?
Black Gingham goes with nearly any colorway, Orange Gingham pops on white or cream sneakers, and Green Gingham fits neutral and earth-tone pairs. Low-tops in light colors let the check pattern stand out most.
