Let\u2019s keep this one short\u2014literally. Because when it comes to shoelaces, length matters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re replacing laces on your trail runners, walking boots, or approach shoes, the right size makes a big difference. Too short, and you’re straining to tie a knot. Too long, and you’re catching loops on rocks and brambles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Crib Goch Outdoor, we often help customers match the correct lace length based on eyelets<\/strong> (those holes the laces pass through) and the type of shoe or boot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want extra lace<\/strong> for a heel lock or more advanced lacing techniques, go up a size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
