Oval Shoelaces

Oval shoelaces have a cross-section that sits between flat and round, wider than a round lace but with more structure and grip than a flat one. This shape creates extra friction at the eyelet edges, which means they stay tied better during running and high-movement activities while still sitting neatly in the tongue of your shoe. They are the standard lace type in most premium runners, cross-trainers and performance sneakers from Nike, Adidas and Asics. At Pear Shoelace, you can find replacement oval shoelaces in a range of colours, lengths and styles to help refresh worn shoes or create a cleaner, sport-inspired finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oval Shoelaces
What are oval shoelaces?
Oval laces fall between flat and round, offering better grip and less slippage, making them ideal for athletic and running shoes.
Are oval laces better than flat or round laces?
They’re a great middle ground. Oval laces combine the low-profile look of flat laces with the strength and hold of round laces.
What shoes typically use oval laces?
They’re common in runners, cross-trainers, basketball shoes and some modern sneakers from brands like Nike, Adidas and Asics.
Do oval laces stay tied better?
Yes. The shape creates extra friction, reducing the likelihood of loosening during activity.
Can I get oval laces in custom lengths?
Yes. If the standard lengths of 90cm to 160cm do not fit your shoes, we can cut and finish oval laces to your exact required length. Measure your existing laces from aglet tip to aglet tip and specify the length at checkout, or contact us before ordering and we will advise the right length for your shoe type and eyelet count.
Do oval laces come with metal aglets?
You can choose to add metal aglets for extra durability and a premium finish.
Are elastic oval laces suitable for running?
They are better suited to casual and everyday wear than intense running. For high-impact running or other sports, traditional oval lace-up laces provide a firmer, more adjustable hold.
What are oval elastic shoelaces?
Oval elastic shoelaces are no-tie laces made from stretchy material that expand as you slide your foot in and spring back when you walk. They have the same oval cross-section as regular laces for a neat look, but eliminate the need to tie and untie. They are popular for kids shoes, everyday sneakers and anyone with mobility considerations.
Can I personalise oval laces with text?
Yes. Add custom printing to your oval laces for a personal touch, great for sports teams or unique styling.
Are oval laces suitable for kids shoes?
Yes. We stock shorter oval laces in 75cm and 90cm lengths that suit most children’s sports and school shoes. Oval elastic laces are especially popular for kids shoes because they eliminate the need to tie, making mornings easier. Check our oval elastic range for no-tie options.
