Dark Blue Wide Flat Shoelaces 75 cm – Barth Laces (Pair)

Description

Dark Blue Wide Flat Shoelaces 75 cm – broad, flat laces that give trainers an instant refresh.

A tired pair of laces can age a good trainer overnight. These wide flat laces in a deep dark blue put that right in a couple of minutes. They are made by Barth, the German family firm that has been producing shoelaces for four generations, they measure 75 cm and they come as a proper pair (two laces). The broad, flat weave sits nicely across the tongue and fills wider eyelets the way a round lace never quite manages. It is a simple upgrade I recommend all the time in the shop, because it costs very little and instantly makes a well-worn pair look cared for again.

Why choose these dark blue flat laces?

• Genuine Barth German quality. Four generations of lace-making means a dense, even weave that keeps its shape and shrugs off everyday wear.
• Broad, flat profile. The wider tape fills trainer and casual-shoe eyelets neatly, so the lacing looks full and deliberate rather than thin and lost.
• Rich dark blue. A versatile deep blue that lifts white, grey, navy and tan trainers, and makes a smart change from the laces they came with.
• Sold as a proper pair. Two laces per pack, so both shoes get the same fresh treatment.
• Strong and hard-wearing. German-made and tightly woven, they resist fraying at the tips and hold a knot securely all day.
• Great value. Refreshing your laces is the cheapest upgrade your trainers will ever get, and it takes just a couple of minutes.

How to lace them up

• Take out your old laces and wipe around the eyelets.
• Thread one new lace through the bottom eyelets so both ends match in length.
• Lace upward in your chosen pattern – a criss-cross works well for trainers.
• Pull each row snug and tie off, then square up the bow.

As a rough guide, a 75 cm flat lace suits trainers and casual shoes with around 4 to 5 pairs of eyelets.

Looking after your laces

These flat laces are hard-wearing, but a little care keeps them looking their best. If they pick up dirt, a damp cloth with a spot of mild soap usually does the trick; let them dry naturally before re-lacing. Loosening the laces before you take your trainers off saves the tips and keeps the weave from stretching, so they stay crisp wear after wear.

Frequently asked questions

Will 75 cm fit my trainers?
As a rough guide, 75 cm suits trainers with around 4 to 5 pairs of eyelets. If yours have more eyelets or sit high on the ankle, you may prefer a longer length.

Are flat laces better than round ones for trainers?
For most trainers, yes. The wider flat tape fills the larger eyelets and lies flatter across the foot, which looks tidier and tends to stay tied better than a thin round lace.

Can I wear these with white or grey trainers?
Absolutely. A deep dark blue is one of the most versatile colours you can pick – it lifts white and grey trainers with a smart contrast, and blends neatly into navy and darker styles.
