Oval Shoelaces
Select Shoelace: Size & Shape
What are the benefits of oval shoelaces?
Oval laces are designed specifically for performance footwear. Their shape allows them to distribute tension more evenly than round laces, which helps prevent "hot spots" on the top of the foot. Additionally, the textured weave of an oval lace provides superior knot security, making them ideal for running and jumping.
Will oval laces fit any running shoe?
Yes. Oval laces are the standard replacement for most modern athletic brands like Asics, Brooks, and New Balance. They fit through standard punched eyelets and are available in various lengths to accommodate different lacing techniques, such as the "Heel Lock" or "Runner's Loop."
How do I stop my oval laces from coming untied?
While oval laces are naturally more slip-resistant, ensure you are using a balanced knot (where the loops sit horizontally across the shoe). Because oval laces flatten when tied, they create more internal friction than round laces, which is why they are the top choice for marathon runners.
What length should I get for 6-eyelet sports shoes?
For most standard 6-eyelet trainers, a 115cm or 125cm lace is ideal. If you have larger feet or use the extra eyelet at the top for added stability, we recommend stepping up to 140cm.
