What the AI looks for in Sports Fan Shoelaces
- Length by eyelet count
- Usual guide: about 36 in for 4 to 5 eyelet pairs, 45 in for 6 pairs, 54 in for 7 pairs, 63 in for 8 pairs. Go longer for boots and high-tops. Fan laces are often sold in one length, and a wrong length either won't tie or drags on the ground.
- Profile match
- Match flat or oval laces to the shoe's original laces. Use round laces for boots and some athletic shoes. Wide flat laces may not fit through small eyelets, and round laces can come untied on casual sneakers.
- Color fastness
- Choose dyed or woven team colors over printed patterns if the laces will get wet or be washed. Printed logos and patterns fade and crack faster than woven color.
- Aglets
- Plastic or metal aglets should be firmly attached and narrow enough for your eyelets. Cheap aglets split off quickly, and then the lace frays.
What to avoid
- Single-length packs that don't state the length
- Wide printed laces for shoes with small eyelets
Questions
How do I know what length to buy?
Count the eyelet pairs on one side of the shoe and use the length guide, or measure the laces you're replacing.
