What are some common sizes of shoelaces?

Shoelaces commonly come in 25-inch, 32-inch, 37-inch and 42-inch lengths, or small, medium, large and extra-large, respectively. Additional shoelace lengths are available for different types of shoes and boots.

A good way to determine the proper length of shoe laces is to look at the current shoelaces when they are tied, assess whether they are too long or too short, remove them from the shoes and measure them. Shoelaces available for dress shoes range from 21 to 84 inches depending on the type of shoes, while athletic shoe, hiking boot and work boot shoelaces range from 27 to 160 inches.
