Choosing Oval Laces for Men's and Women's New Balance 530
The New Balance 530 uses oval laces, not flat. Men's and women's 530 shoes take an oval lace around 140 cm (55") across 6 eyelet pairs, which keeps the original look of its retro-running upper.
An oval lace is the closest match to the stock style. Match the original colour for a like-for-like finish, or choose a contrast shade while keeping the oval shape and length. Measure the original lace rather than relying only on the model name.
Choosing Laces for Kids' New Balance 530
Kids' New Balance 530 shoes also use oval laces, in shorter lengths: big kids' sizes take around 120 cm (47") across 6 eyelet pairs, and little kids' sizes around 100 cm (39") across 5 pairs.
Shorter laces are easier for children to handle and tie. Measure the original lace to confirm the closest length before ordering.
Why the 530 Uses Oval Laces
The 530 comes with oval laces as standard — a rounded, slightly flattened lace that suits its retro-running style. Keeping the oval shape gives the most authentic look and sits best in the shoe's eyelets.
Whatever colour you choose, keep the oval shape and match the length to your size so the shoe laces up as intended.

What lace shape suits the New Balance 530?
Oval laces suit the New Balance 530 and keep its original look. An oval lace is rounded but slightly flattened, sitting neatly in the shoe's eyelets — it's the closest match to the stock style.
Can I use flat laces on my New Balance 530?
The 530 is designed for oval laces, so an oval replacement keeps the original look. A flat lace would change the stock appearance, so oval is the recommended match.
What width laces suit the New Balance 530?
The 530 uses a medium oval lace. Pear's New Balance oval option is the closest match — measure the original width and keep the oval shape for the best fit in the eyelets.
How do I measure my New Balance 530 laces for replacement?
Remove one lace, lay it out without stretching it and measure from one aglet tip to the other. Note the oval shape and the width, and count the eyelet pairs as a secondary check, then match those to the closest available lace.
Can I use no-tie laces on my New Balance 530?
Yes. Pear offers oval no-tie options that let you slip the shoe on and off while keeping a laced appearance and the 530's oval-lace look.
Can I use different-coloured laces on my New Balance 530?
Yes. Swapping the oval lace colour is an easy way to refresh a 530. A contrast colour makes the shoe stand out, while a matching shade keeps the original look. Keep the oval shape and same length for a clean fit.
How should I clean New Balance 530 shoelaces?
Remove the laces and wash them gently with mild detergent and cool or lukewarm water, then air-dry them fully. Avoid bleach and high heat, especially on coloured laces, as these can affect the finish.
Can I order custom New Balance 530 replacement laces from Pear Shoelace?
Yes. Pear Shoelace offers aftermarket oval laces suited to the New Balance 530 in different lengths, colours and widths, with selected aglet options. They are not original or OEM New Balance products.
