Learn how to pick the right length, color, and style of replacement shoe laces for your Diemme sneakers and boots, with simple decision rules.
Quick answer
To choose replacement shoe laces for your Diemme footwear, match the length to your specific model—125 cm for low styles like Marostica Low and Cornaro, 165 cm for mid and high boots—and pick a color that complements your shoes.
Why length matters most
Getting the right length is the difference between laces that stay tied and ones that drag or are too short to secure. Diemme offers laces in three lengths—125 cm, 165 cm, and 220 cm—each designed for specific styles. Using the wrong length can lead to frequent retying or an untidy look.
Check the model you own: low-profile sneakers and hikers need 125 cm, while taller boots require longer laces. If you are between sizes, err on the longer side because you can always trim, but you cannot extend.
Color and style: match or contrast
Replacement laces are a simple way to refresh your footwear. Navy and blue laces can either blend with your shoes or add a subtle contrast. For a classic look, match the lace color to the shoe's hardware or stitching; for a bolder statement, choose a contrasting shade.
Diemme laces come in various patterns and colors, so you can personalize without compromising the shoe's character. Consider the material and thickness too—thicker laces feel more rugged, while thinner ones are more refined.
Decision rules for choosing replacement laces
- Identify your model: Check the style name on the shoe or box. Match it to Diemme's recommended lengths: 125 cm for Marostica Low, Cornaro, Cornaro Gomma, Grappa Hiker; 165 cm for Roccia Vet, Civetta, Anatra, Galibier; 220 cm for taller boots. Write down your model and the recommended length before shopping.
- Choose the right length: If your model is not listed, measure your current laces from tip to tip. Add 10-15 cm if you prefer a looser fit or plan to use thicker laces. When in doubt, choose the longer option—you can trim, but you can't extend.
- Pick a color that works: Navy laces blend with dark leather and denim; blue laces add a pop of color. Consider the shoe's hardware and stitching for a cohesive look. If you want versatility, navy is safer; blue is bolder.
