Vans shoelaces (Replacement laces)
Most Vans low-tops (Old Skool, Authentic, Era) sit around 100–120 cm, while Sk8-Hi commonly uses ~140 cm. Treat all lengths as indicative — shoe size and lacing style (tight, chunky, untied) can shift the need by ±20 cm. Use the chart to confirm your pair.

Vans Replacement Shoelaces
Old Skool/Authentic/Era: 100–120 cm; Sk8-Hi: ~140 cm. More eyelet pairs or higher routing = longer lace.
Flat vs oval/rope & width
Classic Vans look = flat laces (medium width). Oval/rope adds volume and can push you to the longer option; match width to eyelets for easy threading.
Measure & cm/in conversion
Remove old laces and measure tip-to-tip. Quick refs: 100 cm ≈ 39″, 120 cm ≈ 47″, 140 cm ≈ 55″ — use as indicative baselines.
Vans silhouettes differ by eyelet count and collar height, which drives lace length. As a practical baseline, Old Skool/Authentic/Era work with 100–120 cm flat laces: pick 100 cm for a neat, tighter bow or 120 cm for a roomier tie or slight looseness. Sk8-Hi typically maps to ~140 cm due to the higher collar and extra eyelets. Consider these values indicative — larger sizes, thicker/oval laces and loose/untied styling often push you to the longer end (about ±20 cm). When between two sizes, choose the longer option and tuck excess cleanly.
