Description

Thin Round Shoelaces – Medium Brown, 65cm (Barth)

A tired, frayed lace can make a smart pair of shoes look years older than they are. These thin round shoelaces in medium brown are the quick, affordable fix I reach for again and again: a slim, tubular 65cm lace that slips neatly through the eyelets and pulls up into a clean, understated bow.

The round profile keeps things elegant, which is exactly why this style suits dress shoes, brogues, Derbys and Oxfords so well. In medium brown they blend in quietly and let the leather do the talking. Each order is supplied per pair, so you have two laces ready to relace both shoes.

They are made by Barth, a German family firm that has been spinning shoelaces for four generations. I stock Barth because the braiding is tight and even, the tips (aglets) are properly bonded so they do not split, and the laces simply keep their shape wash after wear.

Why choose these medium brown round shoelaces?

• Smart, slim profile. The thin round shape gives a refined finish that flatter formal and smart-casual shoes rather than bulking up the lacing.
• Genuine Barth quality. Four generations of German lace-making means tight braiding, strong core threads and a lace that resists fraying.
• Secure, tidy bow. The medium brown laces hold a knot well without that slippery feel you get from cheap synthetic cord.
• Right length for the job. At 65cm they suit roughly 3 to 4 pairs of eyelets, so your bow sits neat rather than trailing or straining.
• Colour-matched. A considered medium brown tone that keeps your shoes looking coordinated and cared for.
• An easy upgrade. Swapping laces is the cheapest way I know to make an older pair of shoes feel new again.

How to fit your new laces

1. Remove the old laces and give the eyelets a quick wipe.
2. Even up the new pair so the aglets sit level at both ends.
3. Lace from the bottom eyelets upward in your preferred pattern, keeping the tension even as you go.
4. Pull through, check both sides match, and tie your usual bow.
5. Trim nothing – at 65cm they are cut to length for roughly 3 to 4 pairs of eyelets.

A tip from me

Not sure on length? Lay your old lace out flat and measure it tip to tip. If it falls between two sizes, size down for a snug bow on smart shoes. And when you lace up, do the very top eyelets a touch looser – it keeps the collar of the shoe comfortable around your ankle.

Frequently asked questions

Are these laces waxed?

No, these are unwaxed thin round laces with a soft cotton-blend feel. If you specifically want a water-resistant, glossy finish, take a look at our waxed round shoelaces instead.

What length do I need for medium brown shoes?

As a rule of thumb, 65cm suits roughly 3 to 4 pairs of eyelets. Counting the eyelet pairs on your shoe is the quickest way to be sure.

Should I keep a spare set?

I always recommend it. Laces are the one part of a shoe that wears out long before the shoe itself, and at this price it is worth tucking a spare pair in the cupboard so you are never caught out the morning of an important day.
