Find Replacement Laces for Red Wing Boots
Red Wing footwear includes heritage work boots, moc-toe boots and rugged leather footwear. 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 Moc-Toe Boots
Moc-Toe Boots 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 Boots
6-Inch 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 Boots
8-Inch 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 – Red Wing Replacement Boot Laces
What length laces do Red Wing boots use?
Red Wing 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 Red Wing boots use round or flat laces?
Many Red Wing 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 Red Wing 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 Red Wing 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 Red Wing 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 Red Wing 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 Red Wing 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 Red Wing replacement laces from Pear Shoelace?
Yes. Pear Shoelace offers aftermarket boot laces for selected Red Wing footwear in different lengths, colours and round-lace styles, with selected aglet and personalised-text options. They are not original or OEM Red Wing products.
