Find Replacement Laces for Caterpillar Boots
Caterpillar footwear includes industrial work boots, safety footwear and rugged casual boots. Replacement-lace requirements vary with boot height, the number of eyelets and speed hooks, the upper material and the diameter of the original lace.
For the closest replacement, remove one original lace and measure it from tip to tip. Match the original diameter and construction before choosing a new colour, finish or aglet.
Choosing Laces for Low Safety Shoes
Low Safety Shoes generally need a lace that follows the original thickness and lacing path. A lace that is too wide can be difficult to thread through smaller eyelets or hooks.
Measure the original lace because shoe size, model and eyelet spacing can change the required length.
Choosing Laces for 6-Inch Work Boots
6-Inch Work Boots often need a durable round lace that distributes tension evenly across the upper. Speed hooks can increase the amount of lace required near the top of the boot.
Match the original diameter and choose enough length for a secure bow without excessive loose lace.
Choosing Laces for 8-Inch Work Boots
8-Inch Work Boots may need a longer or heavier-duty lace than lower footwear. The shaft height, number of eyelets and use of hooks all affect the final measurement.
For work or hiking use, inspect the laces regularly and replace them when the fibres, aglets or outer covering show significant wear.

Frequently Asked Questions – Caterpillar Replacement Boot Laces
What length laces do Caterpillar boots use?
Caterpillar boot laces commonly range from about 120 cm for low footwear to 180–200 cm or more for taller boots. Measure the original lace because the correct length depends on the exact model, shaft height and hook layout.
Do Caterpillar boots use round or flat laces?
Many Caterpillar boots use round laces, while selected casual or dress-oriented models may use flatter or waxed constructions. Match the original shape and diameter for the closest fit.
How do I measure Caterpillar boot laces?
Remove one lace, lay it flat without stretching it and measure from one aglet tip to the other. Record the diameter and count both eyelet pairs and speed-hook pairs.
Are thicker laces better for Caterpillar boots?
A thicker lace can suit rugged work or hiking boots, but it must still pass comfortably through the eyelets and hooks. Match the original diameter rather than automatically choosing the thickest option.
Can I use different-coloured laces in Caterpillar boots?
Yes. Neutral colours preserve a traditional look, while contrast colours create a more visible update. Keep the replacement close to the original length, diameter and construction.
How should I clean Caterpillar boot laces?
Remove the laces and hand-wash them gently in mild soapy water, then air-dry them completely. Avoid bleach and high heat, especially on waxed, reflective or personalised laces.
How often should Caterpillar boot laces be replaced?
Replace boot laces when they become frayed, cut, flattened, stiff or damaged around the aglets. Work and hiking boots may need more frequent inspection because dirt, abrasion and repeated tension accelerate wear.
Can I order custom Caterpillar replacement laces from Pear Shoelace?
Yes. Pear Shoelace offers aftermarket boot laces for selected Caterpillar footwear in different lengths, colours and round-lace styles, with selected aglet and personalised-text options. They are not original or OEM Caterpillar products.
