The Purchase of Shoe Laces Really IS a Big Deal
Shoe laces might not seem like such a big deal, but with shoes being a multi-billion dollar industry, shoe laces really are a big deal when we spend so much on shoes.I purchased these laces for my mom, as one of the laces on her Nike's broke. I've always bought Nike shoes for myself but when a shoe lace has broken, Nike will not sell you the original laces for replacement, which are the quality and color needed to make your Nike's look like Nike's. I believe they expect you to purchase new shoes if you don't want to use any off-Nike brand shoe lace replacements. Every time I've purchased off-brand shoe laces to replace the broken originals, I was never able to get the same quality and color. Also, even though there are so many colors available out there to choose from, there just never is a color close enough to the original. I explained that to my mom and set out to order her a pair here on Amazon. I spent more time than I probably should have looking at all of the various laces from different sellers as I was determined not to purchase something that would disappoint her. After all that time I kept coming back to these laces because they appeared to be the closest match to what my mom had. So, I took a leap of faith and ordered them. LOL - I hit the Shoe Lace Jackpot. The laces got to her within 2 days and they matched her original Nike laces perfectly -- quality and color. When mom is happy, everybody is happy! :)

The laces Converse should have come with all along!
Love these! The OEM Converse laces are WAY too long when laced to my preference. I ended up cutting them down and putting on metal lace tips, but they would clank around when I walked and were annoying.I finally gave up trying to make the OEM laces work and bought these (50"), and they fit PERFECTLY! Not too long, just right.They are a tiny bit thinner than the OEM Converse laces, but still look great. Getting two sets (four laces) was great as a back up pair.

1.5" shorter than described
I bought these shoelaces specifically because they are described as 45" shoelaces. However, as you can see from the photos they are shorter than this. They are actually 43.5". That is a major difference and makes these shoelaces too short. On another note please know they are about 6mm wide. I'd call them medium width (I have some shoelaces at 8mm, and the ones that came with my New Balance sneakers are 4mm).

Wide array of varying lengths....
My Nike AF1 (a mid-top style shoe) needed a shorter lace; usually stores stock only 54" (which came with the shoe) or 45" (which would be too short) so I needed a pair that was a 'happy medium'. I found these in a 50" length...P E R F E C T I O N !!!! I have just enough length without having to double tie. The flat width closely resembles the original Nike lace, and the fabric feels not like the cheap polyester style....I bookmarked these for the array of colors & lengths for future purchases!!!!

and was disappointed in the width
The WIDTH of the laces is somewhat smaller than what appears in the picture, especially when you zoom in on it. I purchased these laces for a pair of New Balance athletic shoes, and was disappointed in the width. The length was perfect as advertised, and they are fine and I am using them, however could be wider. You should change your picture to show the exact width lace that you are shipping out.

Quality, Sturdy, Attractive Laces
These seem like very high quality shoe laces. The narrow size made them easier to thread through the existing holes in my shoes. There was no exact match to the size of the original laces, so I ordered a slightly longer length. The new laces fit perfectly, so i was very pleased about that. The only negative was the blue colour of the laces was not an exact match to the navy blue colour of the shoe. But, that's not the manufacturers fault. There are so many shades of navy blue, they can't match everything. Just be aware these laces are on the brighter blue end of the navy spectrum. My shoes were a darker navy colour. I like the laces other than the colour, so I'm going to keep them. I doubt many people will notice the colour is not an exact match.

32-34 size for womens New Balance size 9 shoe
OK, I’ve never done this before but I had to replace the shoelaces on my new balance fresh foam tennis shoes. They were absurdly long, I was having to double not them a dozen times it was ridiculous. I loved the shoes so I looked into getting shoelaces, and I found these and several others on Amazon, I bought several different sizes in a couple different brands and I liked these much better than the others.Basically, these are very flat and thinner and therefore better for in my opinion athletic shoes. I like the 32 inch ones because I like them slightly shorter as opposed to longer, but I certainly could’ve gotten the 34 If I preferred a longer lace. I will get them in different colors, started with the black

The shoelace vendor I've been searching for
Nice shoelaces available in a variety of lengths. After shopping fruitlessly at local shops only to find the same narrow selection of Kiwi laces, none of which met my needs, discovering this vendor was a godsend!
