Introduction

Sneakers are an essential element of every wardrobe. You can comfortably wear sneakers with a pair of jeans or dress them up for an elegant casual look.

From entry-level to luxury fashion statements, there are popular sneakers available for every budget. While sneakers can get expensive an inexpensive way to refresh or tailor them is with shoelace replacements.

What you need to know when replacing your shoelaces

The number of eyelets is a very important factor when considering shoelace replacements. Miscount the number of eyelets and you’ll end up dragging your laces on the ground or they will be too short to tie.

What's an eyelet?

An eyelet is the hole where you thread your shoelaces; we count them as pairs not singles.

Process

Step 1:  Count the exact number of eyelets on one shoe.

Step 2:  Find your number of pairs of eyelets in the chart below and find the coordinating length.
