Oval laces in two widths: 6 mm basic and 9 mm thick. The oval shape is the stock lace on many Nike runners and Asics models. Also check out flat laces and round laces.
Oval laces: grip and a sporty look
Oval laces stand out for their shape-holding grip and sporty look. They sit wider across your tongue than round versions, so they stay in place better while you move. That makes them a solid choice for running shoes, walking sneakers, and models with lots of eyelets like the Air Max 90 or the New Balance 2002R.
The material matters. These laces are tightly woven from durable polyester that won’t fray quickly. Because of their shape, they don’t slip loose easily and stay firmly in place even during long days or heavy use. You’ll find them in neutral tones or bold colors. When choosing, pay attention to the number of eyelets and your sneaker’s silhouette.
Oval laces work with almost any model and are a stylish alternative to flat laces if you want a bit more grip. Extend their lifespan by hand washing them regularly in cold water. Avoid washing machines and dryers so the structure stays intact.
