Why Choose Cool Laces
Cool laces are ideal when you want your shoes to feel more personal without buying a new pair. They can turn simple sneakers into a statement, freshen up older shoes, or help match your footwear to a colour, outfit, or occasion. They are also practical replacement laces, giving you the chance to improve the fit, length and finish at the same time as updating the style.
Buying Guide for Cool Laces
When buying cool laces, start with the shoe type, lace shape and length. Flat laces usually suit sneakers and casual shoes; round laces work well with boots and some trainers; and oval laces are a popular choice for sports and active footwear. For the best fit, measure your current laces or count the eyelet pairs on your shoes before choosing a length.
Types of Cool Laces
Cool laces can include bright-coloured laces, two-tone laces, glitter laces, glow laces, reflective laces, patterned laces, waxed laces, elastic laces, and custom-text laces. Choose a subtle colour for a clean everyday look, or go bold with contrast colours and special finishes if you want your shoes to stand out. The best type depends on your shoe style, how often you wear them and whether you want comfort, colour, texture or a stronger fashion statement.
Custom Cool Laces - Lengths & Aglets
Pear Shoelace offers custom cool laces in a range of lengths to suit different shoes, from low-top sneakers to taller boots. You can choose from standard plastic aglets or upgrade to metal or coloured aglets for a more premium finish. Some lace styles can also be personalised with custom text, making them a great choice for gifts, events, teams, creative styling or one-of-a-kind sneakers.
Cool Laces - Size Guide
The easiest way to choose the right size is to remove your current shoelace and measure it from tip to tip. If you do not have the original lace, count the number of eyelet pairs on one shoe and use that as a guide. Shorter laces generally suit low-profile shoes, while longer laces are usually needed for high-top sneakers, boots or shoes with more eyelets.
Caring for Cool Laces
To keep cool laces looking fresh, remove them from your shoes before cleaning and wash them gently by hand in mild soapy water. Avoid harsh bleach, strong chemicals and high heat, especially with glitter, glow, reflective, waxed or printed laces. Let the laces air dry fully before re-lacing your shoes so the shape, colour and finish stay in better condition.
Frequently Asked Questions - Cool Laces
What are cool laces?
Cool laces are shoelaces designed to add colour, style and personality to your shoes. They can include bold colours, patterns, glitter, reflective finishes, glow effects, textures or custom details. They are a simple way to refresh sneakers, casual shoes, kids’ shoes or everyday footwear without replacing the whole pair.
Are cool laces only for sneakers?
Cool laces are not only for sneakers; sneakers are among the most popular shoes to wear them with. They can also suit casual shoes, skate shoes, high-tops, kids’ shoes and some boots. The best result comes from matching the lace shape, width and colour to the shoe style.
How do I choose the right cool laces for my shoes?
Choose cool laces based on your shoe colour, eyelet size, lace shape, and the style you want to create. Bright colours make the shoes stand out, while neutral colours give a cleaner finish. Patterned, glitter, reflective or glow laces work best when you want a more playful or statement look.
What length cool laces should I buy?
The best length for cool laces is usually the same length as your current laces if they already fit well. Remove one lace and measure it from tip to tip, then choose the closest available length. If you do not have the old laces, count the eyelet pairs on one shoe and use a shoelace size guide to determine the size.
Do cool laces come in different shapes?
Yes, cool laces come in flat, round, oval, and elastic styles, depending on the look and fit you need. Flat laces are great for sneakers and bold colour changes, while round laces create a neater finish. Elastic cool laces are useful when you want easier slip-on comfort.
What colours work best for cool laces?
The best colour for cool laces depends on whether you want contrast, matching detail or a bold feature. White, black and grey are easy everyday choices, while red, pink, blue, green, yellow or purple create a stronger visual effect. Multi-colour, two-tone and patterned laces are good for shoes that need more personality.
Are cool laces practical for everyday wear?
Cool laces can be practical for everyday wear when you choose the right material, length and shape for your shoes. A good fit helps the shoe stay secure and comfortable during normal daily use. For active shoes, choose laces that tie firmly and are suited to movement, not only appearance.
Can cool laces make old shoes look newer?
Cool laces can make old shoes look fresher by replacing worn, faded or dirty laces with a cleaner style. A new colour or texture can change the whole look of the shoe without much effort. This works especially well on sneakers, casual shoes and children’s shoes that still have plenty of wear left.
How do I care for cool laces?
Care for cool laces by removing them from your shoes and gently hand-washing them in cool water with mild soap. Avoid bleach, harsh scrubbing, and high heat, especially for glitter, reflective, glow-in-the-dark, printed, or custom-text laces. Let them air-dry flat before lacing them back into your shoes.
Can I customise cool laces?
Yes, cool laces can be customised with options such as different lengths, aglet finishes or custom text, depending on the style selected. Custom details are useful for gifts, events, team colours, personal messages or making sneakers feel more individual. Always check the available options before ordering so the lace suits your shoes.
