Find the Right Laces for Your Sport
Whether you're landing kickflips at the local park, filming street lines, or simply wearing your favorite skate shoes every day, quality replacement laces help keep your footwear performing and looking its best. Our premium skate shoe replacement laces are designed to fit many of today's most popular skate shoes, with durable flat, oval, and fat lace options available in a wide range of colors and lengths.
From classic black and white to bold colors that match your personal style, these replacement laces are built to handle the demands of skateboarding while giving worn sneakers a fresh new look.
Why Skate Shoes Need Durable Replacement Laces
Skateboarding is tough on shoelaces. Every ollie, kickflip, heelflip, and tre flip puts repeated friction across the top of your shoes. Grip tape acts like sandpaper, gradually wearing through standard shoelaces until they fray or snap.
Replacing worn laces is one of the quickest and most affordable ways to extend the life of your favorite skate shoes while maintaining a secure fit.
Our skate shoe replacement laces are suitable for:
- Street skating
- Park skating
- Everyday wear
- School and casual use
- Sneaker restoration
Whether you're replacing broken laces or simply changing colors to customize your shoes, our replacement laces are designed to complement classic skate footwear.
Flat, Oval, or Fat Skate Shoe Laces
Choosing the right replacement lace depends on the style of skate shoe you're wearing.
Chunky Oval Laces
Many skate shoes from DC Shoes, Nike SB and Globe feature thicker oval shoelaces that offer a cushioned feel and a sportier look. If you're replacing the original laces on these styles, chunky oval laces are often the closest match to the factory fit and appearance.
Flat Skate Laces
Classic skate shoes from Vans and Converse typically use flat shoelaces. Their low-profile design delivers the clean, timeless look these iconic skate shoes are known for while providing a secure fit for everyday skating.
Fat Laces for adidas Campus
The adidas Campus has become a staple of modern skate and sneaker culture, with many skaters choosing 15mm fat laces to recreate its signature chunky look. If you're refreshing a pair of Campus sneakers, browse our Replacement Laces for adidas Campus Shoes collection to find premium fat laces available in a range of colors that help restore or customize your shoes while staying true to the classic aesthetic.
Replacement Laces for Nike SB Shoes
Nike SB sneakers are among the most searched skateboarding shoes for replacement laces, and for good reason. Daily skating can quickly wear through factory laces, especially around the top eyelets where contact with grip tape is most frequent.
If you're refreshing your favorite pair, explore our Nike SB Replacement Shoelaces to find premium, chunky oval laces in a variety of colors and lengths that complement your Nike SB sneakers.

Not every shoe uses the same lace length or width, so always check your existing laces before ordering to ensure the best fit.
Choosing the Right Skate Shoe Lace Length
Selecting the correct replacement lace length helps your shoes look and perform as intended.
As a general guide:
- Low-top skate shoes typically use shorter lace lengths.
- Mid-top and high-top skate shoes usually require longer laces.
- Shoes with more eyelets generally need longer laces.
- If you're happy with the way your current laces fit, simply measure them from tip to tip and choose the closest available length.
If you're unsure which size to order, our lace sizing guide can help you find the best match for your shoes.
