Frequently asked questions about replacement shoe laces

What is the hole that laces go through?

The holes on your shoes that you thread shoe laces through are called eyelets.

What size shoe laces do I need?

The shoe lace length you need depends on how many eyelets your shoes have. For example, shoes with 3-5 pairs of eyelets will need around 60cm, and shoes with 7-8 pairs of eyelets need roughly 100cm. While shopping for shoe laces on the Timpson site, you’ll see the length of each product and the number of eyelets this corresponds to. 

What are the ends of shoe laces called?

The metal or plastic tips at the end of shoe laces are called aglets. This is derived from the middle English term used to describe the metal ends on ropes, which were made by dipping the rope in molten metal. Aglets make it easier to thread shoe laces through the eyelets on your shoes. 

Are round or flat shoe laces better?

Your choice will mainly depend on personal preference, but flat shoe laces may be better for shoes used for multidirectional sports like tennis and football. However, round shoe laces tend to be denser and more rigid, which makes them more durable and long-lasting.
