SIZING HELP
Not sure what size of laces to buy? We have 3 different ways to help.
MEASURE YOUR LACES
For most accurate sizing we recommend removing one stock shoelace from your shoe, measuring it flat, and then finding a Stretchlace length that matches.
*We also recommend leaving one shoe laced up with the original shoelace so that you can use it as pattern guide for your new Stretchlace.
*We also recommend leaving one shoe laced up with the original shoelace so that you can use it as pattern guide for your new Stretchlace.
WHAT IF YOU ARE IN-BETWEEN SIZES?
For example, you remove your shoelace and it’s 37” and we only offer a 35” or 40”.
THERE ARE 4 FACTORS TO CONSIDER
1
Does the knot and bow feel short? Size up.
Does it skim the ground when you walk? Size down.
Does it skim the ground when you walk? Size down.
2
Is your foot wider, do you have a high instep? Then you may want to size up.
Is your foot narrow? Then you may want to size down.
Is your foot narrow? Then you may want to size down.
3
Most adults do well with a single knot, but most children find a double knot to be useful. If you intend to use a double knot, size up.
TROUBLE REMOVE YOUR EXISTING SHOELACES?
USE OUR EYELET SIZE GUIDE
If you’re unable to remove your existing shoelace our “Eyelet Size Guide” can serve as a rough estimate.
An eyelet is the hole found on on the shoe that’s used to thread the lace. Count the number of eyelets on your shoe.
Important: Eyelets on shoes are counted in pairs, so only count the number of eyelets on one side of the shoe.
Note your foot size: Is it wider, more narrow, or have a high instep? Take these factors into account and size accordingly.
If you are in between sizes, we recommend sizing down.
