1. Measure shoelaces
The first step in choosing the right length of shoelaces is to measure your current laces. This will give you an accurate measurement of the length you need. Remove the shoelaces from your shoes and lay them flat on a surface. Measure the length from one end to the other.
2. Measure eyelets
Choose a shoelace length based on the number of eyelet pairs on your shoe. Count how many total holes you have and divide by two, or count how many holes are down one side. This is the number of eyelet pairs on your shoes. You can then use our lace length chart to determine the length of lace you need.
