Step 2: Select the Length & Width 📏
Length and width matter—not just for fit, but for style. Choose what works best for your audience or use case:
-
Lengths range from short (30–40 inches for kids or low tops) to long (50–72 inches for boots or high tops).
-
Widths can be thin and subtle, or wide and bold—great for custom branding and messaging.
💡 Pro Tip: Not sure which size to pick? Our team can help you choose based on your target shoe type or audience.
Step 3: Pick Your Material 🧵
The feel and durability of your shoelaces depend on the material you choose. We offer a variety of options:
-
Polyester: Strong, smooth, and perfect for full-color printing.
-
Cotton: Natural and soft, with a laid-back or vintage feel.
-
Recycled Materials: Eco-friendly and aligned with sustainability goals.
-
Elastic: Adds stretch and convenience for no-tie or activewear applications.
Choosing the right material ensures your laces are not only stylish—but long-lasting and functional, too.
Step 4: Customize the Design 🖌️
Now the fun part: personalization! Make your laces truly unique with:
-
Your brand logo, slogan, or tagline
-
Bold colors, gradients, or patterns
-
Woven, printed, or sublimated designs
-
Custom aglets (lace tips) with branded embossing or color details
