When replacing laces in footwear, by far the best method is to measure the laces already in the shoes and buy the closest to that length. If they aren't available then you can use our rough guide below to determine the length of laces you will require. We also sell kits for shortening laces if you are after a very precise length.

It was refreshing to find a place where I could finally locate laces for my Karimore walking shoes.Even the shop I brought them from didn't carry laces so I was forced to use shoe laces that weren't up to the job. The laces supplied are exactly as described, hard wearing and colourful. Delivery was quick, no hesitation in giving a full recommendation

I searched high and low on the high street for fat laces and could find none! Now i have found 'Big Laces' the search is over. Thank you for a great product, excellent delivery and value for money!!
