If you play hockey, you know that overly long skate laces can often get in the way. Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the right length and some tips on skate laces with different colors and features.

The main factor that determines which lace length you should choose is the size of your skates. Here’s a simple table to help you pick the right length:

The table above is a good starting point for choosing skate laces that are long enough for your skates. However, it can sometimes be a matter of preference, as some players like longer laces that they can tie around the top of the skate. This was more common in the past when skates weren’t as stable as they are today.
