How to Create Custom Shoelaces with Ease: Your Ultimate Guide 👟✨

Custom shoelaces are the underrated accessory that can completely elevate your brand, product, or style. Whether you're launching a sneaker collab, creating merch that pops, designing swag bags, or adding a creative detail to packaging, custom laces are a small touch with major impact.

At Pinlord.com, we’re all about helping brands, artists, and creators bring bold ideas to life. We’ve designed everything from pins to patches—and now, we’re helping you step up your game (literally) with fully custom shoelaces that are fun, functional, and made to get noticed.

Let’s walk through it, step by step:

Step 1: Choose Your Shoelace Style 🎨

First things first—pick the lace style that matches your vibe. Each style offers its own unique look and function:

  • Flat Shoelaces – The everyday go-to. Great for sneakers, dress shoes, and casual wear.

  • Round Shoelaces – A classic for boots, runners, and athletic shoes. Sleek and durable.

  • Elastic No-Tie Laces – Perfect for kids, fitness brands, or convenience-focused designs.

  • Reflective Shoelaces – Great for night visibility and streetwear drops.

➡️ Explore all our custom product options to find the perfect fit for your project.

Step 2: Select the Right Length & Width 📏

Getting the right size is key—not just for fit, but for style and impact.

  • Lengths range from 30–72 inches, depending on the shoe (low-tops, high-tops, boots, etc.)

  • Widths vary from slim and sleek to bold and branded

💡 Pro Tip: Not sure what size you need? No stress—our team will help you match the perfect length and width for your target shoe style.

Step 3: Pick Your Material 🧵

The material sets the tone for durability, comfort, and vibe. Choose from:

  • Polyester – Smooth, tough, and perfect for full-color sublimation or print.

  • Cotton – Soft with a vintage, laid-back feel—ideal for lifestyle brands.

  • Recycled Materials – Made from post-consumer plastic bottles. Great for eco-conscious branding.

  • Elastic – Adds stretch for easy-on, easy-off functionality.

Choosing the right material means your custom laces don’t just look good—they last, too.

Step 4: Design the Details 🖌️

Now for the fun part—customizing your laces. Whether you're going bold or minimalist, we've got you covered:

  • Add your logo, slogan, or tagline

  • Use patterns, gradients, or full-color art

  • Choose between woven, sublimated, or printed designs

  • Customize the aglets (that’s the lace tips!) with embossed logos or colored finishes

Step 5: Add Packaging That Pops 📦

Want your laces to feel extra premium? Package them like a pro:

  • Custom header cards

  • Eco-friendly boxes or wraps

  • Branded tags, labels, or inserts

Whether you’re selling, gifting, or including them in influencer kits, custom packaging adds that final wow factor.
