Flagship Fresh Foam Runners (1080, 880, 860)
The larger Fresh Foam runners — the 1080, 880 and 860 — use flat laces around 140 cm (55") across 7 eyelet pairs. As running shoes they take a thinner sport flat lace.
Match the original width and colour for a stock finish, or pick a contrast shade while keeping the flat shape and length. Measure the original lace before ordering.
Everyday Fresh Foam Runners (Contend, EVOZ, Hierro, Arishi, 680)
The everyday Fresh Foam models — such as the Contend, EVOZ, Hierro, Arishi and 680 — use shorter flat laces around 120 cm (47") across 6 eyelet pairs.
They still use a thin flat sport lace, just in a shorter length than the flagship runners. Measure the original lace to confirm the closest match.
Which Fresh Foam Do You Have?
The Fresh Foam range spans two main lace sizes: the bigger runners (1080, 880, 860) take about 140 cm across 7 eyelet pairs, while the everyday models (Contend, EVOZ, Hierro, Arishi, 680) take about 120 cm across 6 pairs. All of them use a thin flat sport lace.
The safest guide is your own lace — count the eyelet pairs and measure the length before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions – New Balance Fresh Foam Replacement Shoelaces
What length shoelaces do New Balance Fresh Foam shoes use?
It depends on the model. The larger Fresh Foam runners (1080, 880, 860) use around 140 cm (55"), while the everyday models (Contend, EVOZ, Hierro, Arishi, 680) use around 120 cm (47"). Measure the original lace before ordering.
Are New Balance Fresh Foam laces flat?
Yes. Fresh Foam models use flat laces — a thinner, lightweight flat sport lace suited to running shoes. A flat replacement keeps the original look, so choose flat for the closest match.
How many eyelets do Fresh Foam shoes have?
The flagship Fresh Foam runners (1080, 880, 860) typically have 7 eyelet pairs, while the everyday models (Contend, EVOZ, Hierro, Arishi, 680) have 6 pairs. Use the eyelet count as a secondary check and measure the original lace as your main guide.
What length do the Fresh Foam 1080, 880 and 860 use?
The Fresh Foam 1080, 880 and 860 use flat laces around 140 cm (55") across 7 eyelet pairs. Measure the original lace to confirm the right length for your pair.
What length do the Fresh Foam Contend, EVOZ, Hierro, Arishi and 680 use?
These everyday Fresh Foam models use flat laces around 120 cm (47") across 6 eyelet pairs. Sizes vary, so measure the original lace to confirm the right length.
Do all Fresh Foam models use the same laces?
No. They all use a thin flat sport lace, but in two lengths: around 140 cm (7 eyelet pairs) for the bigger runners and around 120 cm (6 pairs) for the everyday models. Always match the lace to your specific Fresh Foam model.
What width laces suit Fresh Foam runners?
Because Fresh Foam shoes are runners, a thinner flat lace suits them — Pear's narrower New Balance flat option (around 6 mm) is a close match. Measure the original width for the best fit in the eyelets.
Are Fresh Foam laces available waxed?
Fresh Foam shoes come with flat laces as standard. Waxed flat laces are available as an alternative for a firmer, glossier finish, though a standard lightweight flat sport lace best suits the running feel.
How do I measure my Fresh Foam laces for replacement?
Remove one lace, lay it flat without stretching it and measure from one aglet tip to the other. Also note the width and count the eyelet pairs as a secondary check, then match those to the closest available length.
Can I use no-tie laces on my Fresh Foam shoes?
Yes — and no-tie laces are especially handy on running shoes. Elastic no-tie flat laces let you slip the shoe on and off while keeping a secure, laced fit. Pear offers flat elastic and capsule-lock flat no-tie options suited to Fresh Foam models.
Can I use different-coloured laces on my Fresh Foam shoes?
Yes. Swapping lace colour is one of the easiest ways to refresh a Fresh Foam runner. A contrast colour makes the shoe stand out, while a matching shade keeps the original look. Keep the flat shape, width and length close to the original for a clean fit.
Can I order custom Fresh Foam replacement laces from Pear Shoelace?
Yes. Pear Shoelace offers aftermarket laces suited to New Balance Fresh Foam models in different lengths, colours and widths, with selected aglet and personalised-text options. They are not original or OEM New Balance products.
