"I need new shoelaces for my dress shoes, but I don't know where to buy them."
If that sounds like you, we've compiled a list of places where you can find them.
We hope you find it helpful.
Brick-and-Mortar Stores
First, let's look at physical retail stores.
To save you a trip, we've rated each option on a four-point scale (×, △, ◯, ◎) based on two key factors: "Product Selection" and "Expert Customer Service." (Please note that these ratings are based on our own impressions and experience, and may vary by location.)
Department Store Shoe Sections

Expert Customer Service | ◎ |
With a relatively large selection and knowledgeable staff, you can shop with confidence.
Look for stores like Mitsukoshi Isetan, Daimaru, or Takashimaya in your area.

Shoe specialty stores like Tokyo Shoe Distribution Center and ABC-Mart, or brand stores like Regal, which has many locations nationwide.
Shoe Repair Shops

Expert Customer Service | ◯ |
You can also find them at shoe repair shops like Mister Minit, Kutsu Senka, and Riat.
