Shoelaces for Converse Chuck Taylor

Start with 65 inch Spiffy laces for Converse Chuck Taylor, then check the actual eyelet count and lacing route before ordering. Start with 65 inch for eight pairs laced to the top. A six- or seven-pair low shoe is more likely to start at 55 inch; measure if you leave the ankle pairs open.

Typical eyelet pairs: 6–8

The retailer guide distinguishes All Star low, mid and high shoes, and Chuck 70 versions. A high-top and a low-top should not be assigned the same length just because both say Chuck Taylor. 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 Converse Chuck Taylor 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 55 inch as well as 65 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.
