Day-to-night visibility with woven reflective fibres and a clean, sporty finish.
Flat reflective shoelaces from Pear Shoelace offer day-to-night style and visibility. Unlike surface-coated laces that fade, Pear Shoelace laces have reflective fibres woven in, maintaining performance through wear and washing.
To purchase flat reflective laces, visit Pear Shoelace’s online store, where both styles are available in White, Black, Grey, Red, and Blue starting at $10.95 per pair, with fast Australia-wide shipping dispatched from Sydney.
Flat reflective shoelaces make you more visible in low light, enhancing safety for everyday shoes on runs, walks, commutes, and outdoor activities after dark.
Reflective fibres in the laces bounce light back to its source, making your feet visible in the dark when hit by headlights, bike lights, torches, or street lamps. This alerts others to your presence, a useful safety feature for early or late exercisers.
Pear Shoelace laces feature woven-in reflective fibres that last longer than surface coatings that quickly fade. This woven construction offers reliable, cost-effective performance for ongoing safety.
Flat reflective laces also have a subtle sheen in daylight. The 8mm star-pattern adds a decorative element, making it popular for streetwear and athletic styling.
Both styles fit running shoes, trainers, court shoes, casual sneakers, and school sports shoes, making them a versatile upgrade.
Order your custom-length flat reflective laces today by selecting your preferred length and style on Pear Shoelace’s website. Choose the precise fit for your shoes easily online.
Custom lengths are available for both styles in all colours, ensuring the right fit and look for your shoes.
Standard aglets are included, with optional metal upgrades in Chrome Silver, Black, or Gold. Metal aglets add durability, prevent fraying, and provide a polished finish, especially for active footwear.
Choose flat reflective laces based on style, width, length, colour, and use. Reflective construction is the key extra variable compared to standard laces.
Pick plain 10mm for versatility and a clean flat style with night reflectivity. Choose the 8mm star pattern for a visible design both day and night, or for fashion-focused use.
The 10mm plain lace is wider, fitting most athletic shoes. The 8mm star-pattern lace is slimmer for narrow eyelets or a sleeker look.
Length is determined by your shoe type and eyelet count. Use the size guide below and measure your existing laces for the most accurate result. If you plan to tie a double-wrap knot or prefer extra lace length for added flexibility when tying, opt for the longer end of the recommended range.
Colour for reflective laces works differently from standard laces because the reflective fibres add a visual element that interacts with the base colour. White and Grey reflective laces create a bright, silver-toned flash in light. Black reflective laces appear standard during daylight but reveal the reflective fibres clearly after dark. Red and Blue offer coloured base tones with the same reflective performance. They allow for more creative styling choices.
For safety at night, pick the plain 10mm style in White or Grey for the best reflective effect. For fashion with some safety, pick the 8mm star-pattern in any colour.

Find your lace length by counting the pairs of shoe eyelets and matching them to the guide below. For double wraps or generous ties, choose the longer suggested length.
| Shoe Type | Eyelet Pairs | Recommended Lace Length |
|---|---|---|
| Low-Cut Sneakers | 4–5 pairs | 90–100 cm |
| Standard Trainers | 5–6 pairs | 100–110 cm |
| Running / Training Shoes | 6–7 pairs | 110–120 cm |
| Court / Cross-Trainers | 6–8 pairs | 110–130 cm |
| High-Top Sneakers | 7–9 pairs | 120–140 cm |
| Outdoor / Trail Shoes | 7–10 pairs | 130–150 cm |
Tip: If you plan to double-knot or use a double-wrap lacing style for extra security during night runs or on the trail, choose the longer end of the recommended range to ensure enough lace. Measuring your existing laces end to end remains the most reliable way to ensure an accurate fit.
Flat reflective shoelaces are flat-profile laces with reflective fibres woven directly into the lace construction. They appear like a standard flat lace during daylight, while reflecting light clearly in low-light and dark conditions. Pear Shoelace stocks two styles: a plain 10mm flat reflective lace and an 8mm star-pattern reflective lace. Both are available in White, Black, Grey, Red and Blue, starting at $10.95 per pair.
Reflective shoelaces contain fibres that bounce light back toward its source when illuminated. In low-light or dark conditions, a light beam from car headlights, bike lights, phone torches, or street lamps hits the reflective fibres in the lace. This creates a bright, visible flash at foot level. The effect makes the wearer more visible to drivers, cyclists and other pedestrians. This visibility is a practical safety benefit for anyone active after dark.
The 10mm plain reflective lace is a clean, solid flat lace with reflective fibres woven throughout. It offers a straightforward athletic look during the day and strong reflective performance at night. The 8mm star-pattern reflective lace features a star-print design woven into its surface. It adds a decorative visual element during daylight while delivering the same reflective visibility at night. The 10mm is the more versatile everyday option, while the 8mm star is a stronger choice for fashion and streetwear styling.
The reflective fibres in Pear Shoelace flat reflective laces are woven directly into the lace construction, not applied as a surface coating. This is an important distinction. Surface-coated reflective laces lose their effectiveness as the coating wears away through use and washing. Woven-in reflective fibres maintain their performance over a longer period. They are a more reliable choice for ongoing safety use.
Flat reflective shoelaces suit most shoes with flat laces. These include running shoes, everyday trainers, court shoes, cross-trainers, high-top sneakers, casual sneakers and school sports shoes. They are particularly well matched to shoes for night running, early-morning training, cycling, commuting, or any outdoor activity in low-light conditions. They are also a good choice for everyday sneakers where a reflective styling detail is the goal.
No, flat reflective laces do not glow in the dark. They require a light source to activate their reflective effect. In complete darkness with no light source present, they will appear the same as a standard flat lace. Their reflective performance is triggered by external light hitting the fibres, such as car headlights, bike lights or street lamps and bouncing that light back toward the source.
Pear Shoelace flat reflective laces are available in White, Black, Grey, Red and Blue. White and Grey create the best, most visible reflective effect as the light-coloured base amplifies the reflective flash. Black reflective laces appear understated during daylight and reveal strong reflective performance after dark. Red and Blue offer coloured options for wearers who want a more distinctive base tone alongside the reflective function.
Count the eyelet pairs on one side of your shoe and use the size guide above to find the recommended length. Measuring your existing laces end-to-end is the most accurate approach. If you plan to use a double-wrap knot or prefer extra lace at the ends, choose the longer end of the recommended range for your shoe type.
Yes, Pear Shoelace offers flat reflective laces in custom lengths across both the 10mm plain and 8mm star-pattern styles. Custom lengths are available in all colours, allowing a precise fit for shoes with non-standard eyelet counts, unusual lacing styles or specific length preferences.
All flat reflective laces from Pear Shoelace come with standard aglets included. Premium metal aglet upgrades are available in Chrome Silver, Chrome Black and Chrome Gold. Metal aglets provide a more durable, hard-wearing tip at each end of the lace that resists fraying and splitting through repeated use, and add a polished finishing detail that complements the performance character of a reflective lace, particularly on shoes used regularly for running, training or outdoor activity.
