Description
Dark Blue Flat Shoelaces 180 cm – Wide Barth Laces – broad, flat laces with real German staying power
Looking for dark blue flat shoelaces? These wide, flat dark blue laces are cut a good deal broader than an everyday lace, so they sit flat across the tongue and hold a bow beautifully. Each pair measures 180 cm, which suits shoes or boots with around 8 to 9 pairs of eyelets.
Dark blue is a smart, versatile colour that works with navy, grey and black footwear without shouting for attention. At a generous 180 cm these are made for tall boots and high-top trainers with plenty of eyelets to thread.
I am Haico, and I have spent years helping people find the right lace for the right shoe. If a flat, wide lace is what your trainers or casual boots have been missing, these are the ones I reach for first.
Why choose these laces?
- Genuinely wide and flat – so they lie neatly against the shoe and fill the eyelets without twisting or rolling into a thin cord.
- German Barth quality that is woven to be strong and hard-wearing, for laces that keep their shape wash after wash and wear after wear.
- Holds a secure bow because the broad, flat surface grips against itself, so your laces stay done up through a busy day.
- Sold as a pair, so you have a matching set ready for both shoes with no odd-lace hunting.
- A dark blue that works with trainers, casual boots and smart-casual shoes alike, refreshing a tired pair in seconds.
- Easy to thread thanks to firm, tidy aglets on each end that feed through eyelets first time.
How to fit your flat wide laces
Swapping laces is one of the quickest ways to give a pair of shoes a fresh look. Here is how I do it:
- Remove your old laces and give the eyelets a quick wipe so the new laces feed through cleanly.
- Line up both ends of the new lace so they are even, then start threading from the bottom eyelets.
- Work your way up, keeping the lace flat against the shoe at every crossover so it never twists.
- Even out the length on both sides once you reach the top.
- Tie your usual bow – the wide, flat weave will grip and hold nicely.

About Barth laces
Barth has been making shoelaces in Bavaria, Germany, for four generations. That long experience shows in every pair: consistent weave, tidy aglets and a strength that holds up to daily wear. When I stock a lace, I want it to last, and Barth has earned its place on my shelves.
A tip from me
If you are between lengths, I would size up rather than down. A lace that is a touch long is easy to live with, but one that is too short leaves you fighting for that final bow. For 180 cm, aim for shoes with about 8 to 9 pairs of eyelets.
Frequently asked questions
How wide are these laces?
They are a broad, flat lace – noticeably wider than a standard trainer lace. That extra width is what lets them sit flat and fill the eyelets neatly.
Will 180 cm be the right length for my shoes?
As a rule, 180 cm suits shoes or boots with around 8 to 9 pairs of eyelets. If yours have more eyelets, go longer; fewer, go shorter.
Do they come as a pair?
Yes. Every order is supplied as a matching pair, so both shoes are sorted at once.
