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.

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.

I like being able to change the color of my shoelaces, and I was amazed there was actually a company whose core business was shoelaces. Somebody obviously came up with a great idea. Love it!
I bought these laces after buying my mom a pair of matching converse to mine. I loved the fat cotton laces so I ordered a matching pair for my converse high tops. Love them!
These laces were very good quality! I was hoping for thinner laces to go with my Cole Haan Court sneakers. It would also be nice if you had a shorter option... Maybe 42" that would work better for women's sneakers. And a nice off white would be good too. Thank you for asking!
The laces were exactly as anticipated - a match for my off-white laces and cream laces. Good quality, size and easy to work with when putting the new laces in my canvas shoes.
My sneakers had thin short laces that barely tied and came undone a lot. So I ordered yours. Thicker, nicer looking and long enough that they never come untied when I do my walking around the neighborhood! Thanks!
As usual the laces I purchased are perfect. I love the vibrant color of the laces, and they are durable and do not come untied. Keep up the great work, will order more in a couple of weeks.
