Choosing the Right Length and Aglet Style for Your Sneakers
Not all laces are created equal. The correct shoelace length depends on how many eyelets your shoes have, the shoe type (low‑top, mid‑top, high‑top) and how you tie them. As a general guide, low‑tops with fewer eyelets need shorter laces, while high‑tops require longer laces to wrap correctly. Beyond length, the tips of the laces, called aglets, matter too. Aglets (plastic or metal) prevent fraying and help the lace slide through eyelets more easily. At Pear Shoelace, we offer a range of lace lengths and aglet styles to match any sneaker, from sleek plastic‑tipped essentials to premium metal‑aglet laces for a cleaner, more durable finish.

Frequently Asked Questions - Sneaker Laces
What are aglets, and why do they matter?
- Aglets are the small plastic or metal tips at the ends of shoelaces. They prevent fraying and make it much easier to thread the lace through your shoe's eyelets.
What lace length do I need if I don't have the original laces?
- Count the eyelets on one shoe, then refer to a size chart. For example, 5–6 eyelets often need around 90 cm, and 8 eyelets around 140 cm.
How long should my replacement laces be for my sneakers?
- Lace length depends mainly on the number of eyelet pairs. Use a length‑by‑eyelet guide, or measure your existing laces for the best fit.
Can I use a slightly longer or shorter lace than the recommended length?
- Yes, many sneaker owners do. If the laces are slightly longer, tie a larger bow or tuck the excess. If too short, you may need to skip eyelets or tighten more.
What if the laces are too long and drag on the floor?
- You can either re‑lace more tightly, tuck the extra inside, or trim and re‑seal them (though this is more permanent).
Do different brands have different standard lace lengths?
- Variations in design, eyelet spacing and shoe profile mean that standard lace lengths can differ between brands and models.
What if the laces are too short to reach the top eyelets?
- Short laces may not allow you to lace up correctly or force you to skip eyelets, which can affect fit and comfort. It's better to err on the side of slightly too long.
Does the type of sneaker (low‑top, high‑top, etc.) affect lace length?
- Yes. Low‑tops generally require shorter laces due to fewer eyelets and a lower profile. In comparison, high‑tops need longer laces to reach higher eyelets.
When should I replace my sneaker laces?
- Replace when the laces are frayed, stretched, discoloured, or the aglets are damaged. Fresh laces improve both comfort and the look of your sneakers.
