Shoelace
Shoelaces for roller skates
Shoelaces for roller skates are essential for keeping your skates fitting properly. Here, you’ll find a reliable selection of laces suitable for fitness, dance, park, and street skating. The right shoelaces provide better support, comfort, and control, and can help extend the life of your skates.
Worn-out or short laces can make it difficult to tighten the boot correctly, which affects both comfort and safety. By switching to new, durable laces, you can easily refresh your skates without needing to replace the entire boot.
How to choose the right shoelaces
When picking new laces for your roller skate accessories, there are a few important things to keep in mind. Consider fit, material, and how you use your skates in everyday skating.
- Length: Choose laces that suit the height of your boot. Higher boots need longer laces so they can be tightly fastened and tied securely.
- Width and shape: Flat laces generally give a steadier hold and keep their tension better, while round laces can be quicker to tighten.
- Material: Tough synthetic materials usually last longer, stretch less, and handle moisture and dirt better than softer fabrics.
- Durability: For aggressive, park, or freeskate use, it’s best to choose strong, tightly woven laces that can manage repeated tightening and heavy landings.
- Stiffness and grip: Some laces come with a light wax coating or a slightly textured surface to help them stay tight and prevent loosening as you skate.
- Colour and style: Add a fresh touch to your skates with new laces – choose colours that match your wheels or protective gear for a personalised look.
For fitness and recreational skating, most skaters prefer soft yet durable laces that are comfortable to tighten. If you skate in the park or on the street, go for stronger laces that can withstand more pressure and wear.
Choose the laces that fit your roller skates and skating style, add them to your basket, and enjoy a simple, effective upgrade before your next session.
