Do you have shoelaces that are too long and would like to know how to find the right length?
Do you constantly make a double loop to reduce the length?
So if you wonder, “How do I find the correct shoelace length ?”, read on.
To find the correct shoelace length, there are 3 methods, each has its advantages and disadvantages. Let's start with the easiest one:
Probably the easiest method is to thread the original laces out of your shoes and measure them. This way, you can assure that the new laces are the same length and fit. If the original laces were too long or too short, choose a shorter or longer length when buying new laces, or use one of the following 2 methods.
Often, original laces are kept very long. This is to ensure that every foot, no matter how wide or narrow, will fit into the shoe. You may know the problem when a shoe is very narrow, and you need to widen the lacing to get comfortably into the shoe. This is precisely the reason laces from brands tend to be sold or enclosed in longer lengths.
