About Vans Sk8-Hi Shoes
The Vans Sk8-Hi is a high-top skate shoe with a padded ankle collar, reinforced toe area and the Vans Sidestripe. Its taller upper requires more lace than low-top Vans models.
Because the Sk8-Hi uses a high-top padded skate upper, replacement laces should stay close to the original shape, width and length.
Choosing Replacement Laces for Vans Sk8-Hi
A medium flat lace is the closest starting point for most Vans Sk8-Hi releases. Pear's current reference lists flat laces, although special editions, kids' sizes and later versions can differ.
Measure one original lace from tip to tip and compare its width before ordering. This is more reliable than using the model name alone.
Choosing Colours for Vans Sk8-Hi Laces
White, black and tonal colours preserve the familiar Sk8-Hi look, while contrast colours can highlight the Sidestripe, foxing stripe, canvas panels, suede sections or sole.
Keep the replacement close to the original width so the colour changes the style without making the lace look oversized or too narrow.
Caring for Vans Sk8-Hi Shoelaces
Remove the laces before cleaning and hand-wash them gently with mild soap and cool or lukewarm water. Air-dry them completely before relacing.
Avoid bleach, aggressive scrubbing and high heat, particularly on coloured, printed, personalised or metal-aglet laces.

Pear's current model guide lists 140 cm flat laces for Vans Sk8-Hi shoes with approximately 8 pairs of eyelets. Measure the original lace because size, release and lacing style can vary.
Are Vans Sk8-Hi laces flat or round?
Pear's guide lists flat laces for Vans Sk8-Hi shoes. Match the original shape because special editions or later versions may use a different construction.
How many eyelet pairs do Vans Sk8-Hi shoes have?

What width shoelaces suit Vans Sk8-Hi shoes?
A medium flat lace is a practical starting point for Vans Sk8-Hi shoes. Measure the original width because a very wide lace can crowd the eyelets, while a narrow lace changes the appearance.
Can I use different-coloured laces in Vans Sk8-Hi shoes?
Yes. Choose white, black or a tonal colour for a classic look, or use contrast laces to highlight the Sidestripe, canvas, suede, foxing stripe or rubber sole.
How do I measure Vans Sk8-Hi shoelaces?
Remove one lace, lay it flat without stretching it and measure from one aglet tip to the other. Record the width or diameter and count matching eyelets as pairs.
Can I use elastic or no-tie laces in Vans Sk8-Hi shoes?
Elastic or no-tie options can work when their width and length suit the eyelets. They change how tension is distributed, so adjust them gradually and avoid overtightening.
How should I clean Vans Sk8-Hi shoelaces?
Remove the laces and hand-wash them gently with mild soap and cool or lukewarm water. Air-dry them completely and avoid bleach or high heat.

No. Pear Vans Sk8-Hi replacement laces are aftermarket products designed to fit selected shoes. They are not original or OEM Vans laces and are not manufactured, supplied or endorsed by Vans.
