Round Laces - round shoelaces for sneakers
Round laces are among the classic shoelaces in the sneaker world. Their round shape makes them look distinctly different from flat shoelaces and can significantly change a sneaker's look.
Depending on their thickness, round laces can appear very clean or much more prominent. While thinner versions tend to look minimalist, thicker round laces add more volume to the lacing.
Many sneakerheads use round laces to give their sneakers a subtle upgrade without making the lacing too dominant.
Round Laces in 6mm and 9mm
At SNEATED, you'll find round laces in two different thicknesses. This allows you to customize the look of your sneakers precisely.
6mm Round Laces
6mm Round Laces are among the slimmer round shoelaces. They look clean, minimalist, and are especially well-suited for sneakers with a clean upper.
This variant is perfect for a subtle look where the sneaker itself remains the focus.
9mm Round Laces
9mm Round Laces are significantly more substantial and create more presence in the lacing. This makes the sneaker appear a bit bulkier and the lacing system becomes more visible.
Many sneakerheads choose 9mm Round Laces when they want a slightly more prominent look without directly switching to very thick rope laces.
Difference between Round Laces and Rope Laces
Round Laces and Rope Laces look similar at first glance, but differ in their structure.
Round Laces are classic round shoelaces with a smooth surface and usually appear somewhat cleaner.
Rope Laces have a more strongly braided structure, making them appear more voluminous.
