There are two main ways to choose the right length shoelace: Measure your existing shoelace: This is the most accurate method. Remove the shoelace from your shoe and measure it from tip to tip, including the aglets (plastic tips). If the current laces felt too long or short, consider adjusting the desired length slightly when choosing a replacement. Use a shoelace length chart: If you don't have the original shoelace or can't measure it, you can use our shoelace length guide. Keep in mind: Shoelace length charts are a general guide and may not be perfect for every shoe due to variations in lacing style and eyelet placement.
