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", 6-7 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.

Where can I buy replacement shoe laces?

You can shop premium replacement laces in every length and color right here at Shoe Lace Supply. Browse all shoe laces or jump to On Running, New Balance, or Jordan replacements.
