Shoelaces for Brooks Running Shoes

Start with 55 inch Spiffy laces for Brooks Running Shoes, then check the actual eyelet count and lacing route before ordering. 55 inch is a starting point for the six- to seven-pair examples. If you use a runner’s heel lock, measure that loop with the shoe on and compare 65 inch; consider 45 inch only for a measured shorter route.

Typical eyelet pairs: 6–7

This is a brand-wide guide, not one shoe model. Retailer examples include six pairs on Ghost 14 and Launch, and seven on Ghost 15/16 and Adrenaline GTS; other Brooks models may fall outside that range. Eyelet counts vary by size and release: count the holes on one side of your own shoe, and count only the pairs you will lace.

Retailer sizing reference. These are sizing estimates, not a manufacturer guarantee.

Three ways to measure Brooks Running Shoes laces

1. Measure the original lace

Remove one lace, lay it flat and measure end to end including the tips. Keep that length if its bow fits; if not, compare the next Spiffy size rather than assuming the original is right.

2. Count the pairs you use

Count one side of one shoe. Use 30 inch for 2–3 pairs, 45 for 4–5, 55 for 6–7 or 65 for 8–10 as starting points; eyelet spacing and your bow can change the result.

3. Thread string through your route

Lace a piece of string exactly as you wear the shoe, include enough at each end for the bow, then remove and measure it. This catches skipped pairs, heel-lock loops and unusual spacing that a model-name chart misses.

Check the adjacent length

Compare 45 inch as well as 55 inch. Double knots, large bows, straight-bar or ladder lacing and US men’s 12+ can require more; skipped pairs or tucked ends can require less. Do not buy 65 inch if your measured route needs more than our longest size.
