Barth Thin Round Shoelaces – Dark Blue 90cm

Description

Barth Thin Round Shoelaces – Dark Blue 90cm — slim, round and quietly smart

The right lace is one of those small touches that lifts a whole shoe, and a deep dark blue adds a subtle, tailored finish that plain black never quite matches. These dark blue round shoelaces from Barth are round and slim, so they thread easily and sit neatly in finer eyelets.

Barth has been weaving laces in Bavaria, Germany for four generations. The tightly woven, lightly waxed cotton keeps each lace strong and smooth, resisting the fraying that quickly spoils cheaper laces.

I love a navy lace on brown or burgundy leather — it is understated but noticeable, and at this price it is an easy way to make a favourite pair feel new again.

Why choose Barth round shoelaces?

• Genuine German quality — made in Bavaria by a specialist with four generations of lace-making behind it.
• Round and slim — a fine, rounded profile that suits dress shoes, smart trainers and shoes with smaller eyelets.
• Lightly waxed cotton — glides through eyelets, shrugs off a little moisture and holds a tidy knot.
• Rich dark blue shade — a refined alternative to black that flatters brown, tan and burgundy leather.
• 90cm length — suited to shoes and boots with roughly five to six pairs of eyelets.
• Supplied as a pair — two laces in the pack, ready to fit.

How to use Barth round shoelaces

Swapping laces is the fastest refresh you can give a pair of shoes, and it takes barely a minute.

1. Take out the old laces and wipe around the eyelets and tongue.
2. Find the midpoint of the new pair so both ends finish evenly.
3. Thread from the bottom eyelets upward, keeping each lace flat and untwisted.
4. Continue to the top, drawing the tension even across the whole shoe.
5. Tie as usual — the sealed aglets keep the ends neat and fray-free.

A tip from me

Navy laces are one of my favourite quiet upgrades. On brown or burgundy shoes they add a touch of personality without shouting — try a pair before you reach for plain black again.

Frequently asked questions

What length shoelace do I need?

Five to six pairs of eyelets usually suit a 90cm lace. Fewer eyelets take a shorter lace; boots with more eyelets need 120cm or longer.

Are these thin or thick laces?

These are thin, round laces with a slim profile, ideal for dress shoes and any shoe with smaller or closely spaced eyelets.

Does dark blue work on black shoes?

It can, though the contrast is subtle. Dark blue looks best on brown, tan and burgundy leather where it adds a refined, tailored accent.

How are Barth laces supplied, and will they fray?

Barth laces are supplied as a pair, so you receive two matching 90cm laces ready to thread straight into your shoes. The tips, or aglets, are sealed to resist splitting, so the ends stay neat and there is no need to trim or singe them. With the lightly waxed cotton, they hold their shape and finish for a long time.
