Black Round Shoelaces 65 cm – Thick Barth Laces

Description

Black Round Shoelaces, 65 cm – strong German-made Barth laces

Looking for a proper pair of black round shoelaces? These thick round laces in black are 65 cm long and made by Barth, the German family firm I trust more than any other for laces. If your favourite shoes or boots are let down by a frayed, stretched or snapped lace, a fresh pair like these is the quickest and cheapest way to bring them back to life.

Black is the workhorse of the lace world. It suits everything from smart Oxfords and Derbies to work boots and everyday trainers, which is why I always keep a spare pair in the drawer at home.

Why choose these black round shoelaces?

• Genuine Barth quality – Barth has been making laces in Bavaria for four generations, spinning most of the yarn themselves. That care shows in laces that hold their shape and resist fraying far longer than cheap alternatives.
• Strong and hard-wearing – the tightly woven thick round construction stands up to daily lacing and unlacing without going thin or weak at the ends.
• Neat, secure aglets – the tips are firmly finished so they feed through eyelets smoothly and do not split, which makes re-lacing genuinely quick.
• A colour that works – Black is easy to match, so these laces suit low shoes, derbies and trainers without looking like an afterthought.
• Supplied as a pair – laces always come packed per two, so you have a matching set for both shoes with nothing left to chase up.

How to choose and fit your black laces

Getting the length right is the bit people worry about, so here is how I do it:

1. Count your eyelets. Count the eyelets up one side of the shoe. That tells you how many pairs of eyelets you are working with.
2. Match it to the length. At 65 cm, this pair is a good fit for footwear with about 3 to 4 pairs of eyelets – typically low shoes, derbies and trainers. If you can, measure your old lace tip to tip to be sure.
3. Remove the old laces and give the eyelets a quick wipe while the shoe is open.
4. Re-lace from the bottom up, keeping both ends level as you go so you finish with an even amount of lace on each side.
5. Tie and check. Do up a normal bow – if the ends are very long or very short, drop or go up a size next time.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if 65 cm is the right length?

As a rule of thumb, 65 cm suits shoes and boots with roughly 3 to 4 pairs of eyelets. The surest method is to lay your current lace out flat and measure it from tip to tip – if it is close to 65 cm, this pair will fit beautifully.

Will thick laces fit my eyelets?

Thick round laces are about 4 mm across, so they are ideal for shoes, trainers and boots with normal to larger eyelets. If your shoes have very small, dainty eyelets, a thin round lace will thread more easily.

How are the laces supplied?

Always as a matching pair, so both shoes are sorted in one go.
