Official or Custom-Order: The Best Shoelaces for Your Regal Shoes

リーガルの靴紐の交換には純正シューレースかオーダーシューレース

Here are our recommended shoelaces for replacing the ones on your Regal shoes.

  • For those who want the same shoelaces that came with their shoes
  • For those who want to change the look by altering the "width," "color," or "length"

This guide should be helpful for everyone.

We also introduce recommended lengths, tying methods, and lacing styles, so please refer to those as well.

Two Great Options for Replacing Your Regal Shoelaces

Official Shoelaces

Official Regal Shoelaces

Benefits of Buying Official Shoelaces

You can replace your shoelaces with new ones without changing the look of your shoes.

How to Purchase

Available at retail stores and on sites like Rakuten.

We could not confirm their availability on the official e-commerce site.

Two Types for Dress Shoes: Flat and Round

For dress shoes, we could only confirm two types, flat and round, with two color options: black and dark brown.

*This was based on our research at retail stores. There may be more variety available if you consult with Regal Repair or similar services.

[Round Laces (Waxed)]

Round Laces (Waxed)

Color Options Black, Dark Brown
Length 66, 76, 81, 90 (cm)
Width Approx. 2.5mm
Type Round Laces
Material Waxed Cotton
Aglet Plastic
Country of Origin Unknown
Price (excl. tax) 450 yen (for 2 pairs)

These are simple waxed shoelaces.

Many Regal dress shoes come with round laces, so if you don't want to change the look, these are the ones to choose.

The relatively wide range of lengths is a nice feature.

[Flat Laces (Cotton)]

Flat Laces (Cotton)

Color Options Black, Dark Brown
Length 66, 76, 81, 90 (cm)?
Width Approx. 4mm
Type Flat Shoelaces
Material Cotton
Aglet Plastic
Country of Origin Unknown
Price (excl. tax) 450 yen (for 2 pairs)

While the round laces are waxed, the flat laces are unwaxed cotton.

At about 4mm, the width is also on the thicker side for dress shoe flat laces.

Flat laces have a more classic feel than round ones, so they are mainly found on higher-grade Regal models and Shetland Fox dress shoes.

However, as they lack sheen and are quite thick, they don't have a very dressy appearance. If you're looking for a more premium feel, we recommend choosing the waxed flat laces introduced below.

Recommended Shoelace Length for Regal Shoes

The right length depends on the number of eyelets, the distance between them, and the gap of the facing.

When buying new shoelaces, we recommend measuring your current ones and using that length as a guide.

If you prefer not to measure, please see the length guide in the article below.

Lacing and Tying Methods for Regal Shoes

The Standard Lacing Method is "Parallel"

The standard lacing method is Parallel lacing.

A similar-looking method is Single lacing, but Parallel provides a better hold and is easier for putting on and taking off your shoes.

For instructions on how to do Parallel lacing, please see this article.

A Knot That Stays Tied

We recommend the "Berluti knot."

It's a bow knot with one extra step that makes it significantly more secure.

To learn more about how to tie it, please see this article.
