What length laces do I need?We know estimating shoelace length can be tricky! If your shoelaces are damaged or lost, it can be nearly impossible to get the correct length when replacing them, so choosing your shoelaces can be a science. Check out this shoelace length guide to find the perfect length for your needs.
Why should shoelaces have the right length?
Finding the right shoelace length is more than just stuffing the laces into all the shoelace holes. The right shoelace length can prevent shoes from loosening or falling off when walking or exercising. The right shoelace length can also make shoes look elegant and organized.
- Safety: Too short shoelaces cannot provide enough tightening force for shoes, while too long shoelaces may accidentally trip the wearer during walking and cause a fall accident.
- Comfort: The right shoelace length ensures that the shoes are neither too tight nor too loose. Correct length adjustment can provide better support and protection, and improve wearing comfort.
