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", 6-7 eyelets needs 54", and 7-8 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.

Customer video review of Nike / Jordan 1 / Dunk Replacement Shoe Laces

I purchased these to go with the Nike Travis Scott Olive AJ1 lows because I needed a replacement for the sale laces that come with the sneakers. I tried multiple laces, but these are definitely the closest! I also reached out to their customer support to confirm these were the closest before I even received my order and they confirmed this as well. Very happy with my purchase.

Just a bit to β€˜minty”. These are the sneakers(I don’t know if I’ll ever wear them), y’all think you can match up a pair & I’ll pay for them? Please. I’m not very good at matching even tho my job directly relates to 10 colors. Let me know, I’m very serious. Brian
