Kids Laces by Pear Shoelace
Shop kids laces in Australia for school shoes, sneakers, sports shoes and everyday children’s footwear. Kids shoelaces are a practical way to replace worn, broken, or missing laces, helping shoes stay comfortable, secure, and tidy. Pear Shoelace offers a range of lace styles, colours, lengths and aglet options to suit different kids’ shoes and daily routines.
Why Choose Kids Laces
Kids laces are made for shoes that get used often, from the classroom to the playground and weekend activities. A fresh pair of replacement laces can make school shoes or sneakers look cleaner, feel more secure and last longer. They are also a simple way to update a child’s shoes without replacing the whole pair.
Buying Guide for Kids Laces
When buying kids laces, match the lace shape, width and length to the shoes they will be used with. Flat laces are a popular choice for sneakers and school shoes, while round or oval laces may suit sports shoes, boots or more active footwear. For younger children, choose practical colours and lengths that are easy to tie and do not leave too much excess lace hanging over the shoe.
Types of Kids Laces
Kids laces can include flat, round, oval, elastic, and no-tie options. Flat laces work well for many everyday sneakers and school shoes, while elastic or no-tie styles can help children who need easier on-and-off wear. Colours such as black, white, navy, grey and brown are useful for school shoes, while brighter colours can add personality to casual sneakers.
Custom Kids Laces - Lengths & Aglets
Pear Shoelace offers kids laces in a range of lengths so you can choose a better fit for different shoe sizes and eyelet counts. Aglet options can help finish the lace neatly, with standard plastic aglets for everyday use and metal or colour aglets for a more customised look. For younger children, always check that lace ends and accessories are suitable for the child’s age and use.
Kids Laces - Size Guide
To choose the right kids lace length, count the number of eyelet pairs on the shoe and compare it with the current lace length if the original laces are still available. Shorter children’s shoes usually need shorter laces, while high-top sneakers, boots and sports shoes may need longer laces. The best fit is long enough to tie securely, but not so long that the laces drag, trip or sit untidily around the shoe.
Caring for Kids Laces
To care for kids laces, remove them from the shoes before cleaning and wipe or hand-wash them gently when needed. Let the laces air dry fully before putting them back into the shoes, and avoid exposure to harsh heat, as this may damage the fibres or aglets. Replace kids' laces when they become frayed, stretched, hard to tie or visibly worn.
Frequently Asked Questions - Kids Laces
What are Kids Laces?
Kids Laces are replacement shoelaces made for children’s school shoes, sneakers, sports shoes and everyday footwear. They are useful when original laces become worn, too short, too long, dirty or difficult to tie. A fresh pair can help shoes look neater, feel more secure and last longer before needing to be replaced.
What length of kids laces do I need?
The best length for Kids Laces depends on the shoe size, eyelet count and how the shoes are tied. As a general guide, toddler sneakers often suit shorter laces, small kids’ sneakers commonly suit 60 - 75 cm, and older kids’ sneakers often need 75 - 90 cm. For the most accurate fit, count the eyelet pairs and compare them with the original laces.
Are Kids Laces suitable for school shoes?
Yes, Kids Laces are suitable for many school shoes when the length, shape and colour match the shoe. Black, brown, and white are common choices for school footwear because they look neat and pair well with uniforms. For everyday school wear, choose a lace that ties securely and does not drag on the ground.
Which shoelace shape is best for kids shoes?
The best shoelace shape depends on the shoe style and eyelets. Flat laces usually suit sneakers, canvas shoes and many school shoes because they sit neatly across the shoe. Round laces are often better for dressier shoes or shoes with smaller eyelets, while oval laces can work well for active and sporty footwear.
Are elastic or no-tie laces good for kids?
Yes, elastic or no-tie laces can be a good option for kids who find tying laces difficult. They help turn lace-up shoes into easier slip-on shoes while still allowing a secure, adjustable fit. They are especially useful for busy school mornings, sport, younger children, or kids who need more independence with their shoes.
What colours are best for kids laces?
The best colours for Kids Laces are those that suit the shoe, school rules, and the child’s style. Black, white, grey and brown are practical for school and everyday shoes. Brighter colours such as red, blue, green, yellow, pink or purple can add personality to sneakers, casual shoes and weekend footwear.
How do I know Kids Laces will fit securely?
Kids laces should fit securely when they are the right length, shape and thickness for the shoe. The lace should pass through the eyelets smoothly, tighten evenly and leave enough length for a comfortable bow. If the bow is too large or the ends hang low, the lace is probably too long and may need a shorter size.
What materials are practical for Kids Laces?
Practical Kids Laces are usually made from durable woven materials that handle regular school, sport and everyday wear. Polyester and cotton styles are common choices because they are comfortable, flexible and easy to use in many shoe types. Waxed or elastic options may suit specific needs, such as a cleaner finish or easier slip-on wear.
How should Kids Laces be cleaned?
Kids laces should be cleaned gently by removing them from the shoes and handwashing them in mild, soapy water. Rinse them well, press out excess water and let them air dry before relacing the shoes. Avoid harsh bleach or high heat, as this can damage the fibres, colour or aglets.
Can Kids Laces be used for sports shoes?
Yes, Kids Laces can be used for sports shoes when they match the shoe’s eyelets, length and activity level. For active footwear, choose laces that tighten evenly and stay secure during movement. Oval, flat or elastic styles may suit different sports shoes, depending on the shoe design and how firmly the child likes the fit.
