How to Choose School Shoelaces

Check the lace shape, length and colour before selecting a replacement pair for school.

1

Match the Lace Shape

Flat laces suit many school sneakers and sports shoes. Round laces commonly suit leather and dress-style school shoes.

2

Check the Length

Measure an existing lace from tip to tip. If it is missing, count the matching eyelet pairs on one shoe.

3

Choose the Colour

Black is common for black school shoes, white for sports shoes and brown for selected leather footwear.

Simple Size Guide

Find the Right School Shoelace Length

Count the pairs of eyelets on one shoe and match them to the guide. Measuring the original shoelace will provide the most accurate result.

Eyelet Pairs Suggested Length Common School Footwear
2 pairs 45–60 cm Small children’s shoes
3 pairs 60–75 cm Small school shoes
4 pairs 75–90 cm Low-top school sneakers
5 pairs 90–120 cm Everyday school shoes
6 pairs 100–140 cm Sports shoes and high-tops

Important: These measurements are a starting guide. Shoe width, eyelet spacing, tongue thickness, lacing method and preferred bow size can affect the required shoelace length.

School Shoelace Questions

Helpful answers about choosing, fitting and caring for replacement school shoelaces.

Choosing Shoelaces for School Footwear
Frequently Asked Questions – School Shoelaces
What length school shoelaces do I need?

Measure an existing lace from tip to tip for the most accurate result. If the original lace is unavailable, count the matching eyelet pairs on one shoe and compare them with the length guide above.

Are flat or round laces better for school shoes?

Flat laces suit many school sneakers and sports shoes. Round laces commonly suit leather, dress-style and formal school shoes with smaller eyelets. Match the new lace to the original shape whenever possible.

What colour school shoelaces should I choose?

Choose a colour that matches the shoe and school uniform requirements. Black commonly suits black leather shoes, white suits many school sports shoes, and brown works with selected leather footwear.

Are no-tie laces suitable for school shoes?

Elastic no-tie laces can suit compatible school shoes and sneakers, particularly for children who find traditional bows difficult. Adjust them so the shoes feel secure without being uncomfortably tight.

How can I stop school laces from coming undone?

Select a suitable length that leaves enough lace for a complete, balanced bow without creating long ends. Tie the bow firmly and check that it sits across the shoe rather than twisting lengthways.

How should school shoelaces be cleaned?

Remove the laces from the shoes and wash them gently by hand with mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry. Avoid harsh bleach and high heat, which can affect the fibres, colours or aglets.
