lazy laces - Minky Starshine - 24-02-08
Hey guy's....viewing some of your pics and the lacing and laces are looking really great..so I did a laces search,but to be honest there were so many threads on laces I gave up(couldn't be arsed more like)..so when buying fat laces..how long should they be and what width..I've seen diff lenghts and widths..alittle confused(please bear in mind I like to tie a bow
)I know this must have been discussed at lenght before but just a few words will be great..ta
RE: lazy laces - cracky - 24-02-08
depends on your size, im a size 8 recently got some 20mm 125cm laces and they are perfect for me, laced wide with no bows there is about 20mm left at the top. mr shoeshotta's yer man for laces
RE: lazy laces - Sneakerphile - 24-02-08
I'm a UK11, and the last few pairs I bought were 54 inches, which was perfect length.
As for width, thats all down to personal preference. Some prefer the standard 7-10mm that come with the kicks, others like 15mm some like 20mm. It depends on the show as well. Sometimes, fatties jusy look too much and you're better off with 10-15mm.
Experiment dude, see what you like best. You look at my collections, I have all different sizes and lacing styles. When it comes to lacing, ones style does not fit all!

That's how I roll too, one lacing style just won't do, I've got a few variations, it really depends on the shoes.
Minky - If I'm going phats I find 54" is about the right length to lace the shoe and poke through the top hole, no room for bows though - if you're that way inclined

I tie mine up behind the tongue most of the time. This hides the ends, but it also stops the tongue from gradually sliding over to one side.

ok everyone thanks for all your help.I have now re-laced 3 of my pairs,just waiting for more laces to arrive.The laces on these are 1.5cm wide,which is probably just right for me..cleaned these sups up abit(although the black/white are beyond care)...
