Learn how to replace Diemme laces with the correct length and add a personal touch with blue, orange, or red options. Step-by-step guide included.
Quick answer
To replace and style Diemme laces, first measure your current lace or check the model-specific length guide, then choose a color that complements your footwear.
Why length matters more than color
Diemme offers replacement laces in three lengths: 125 cm, 165 cm, and 220 cm. Using the wrong length can make tying difficult or leave excess lace that looks sloppy. Always match the length to your specific Diemme model before picking a color.
Choosing a color that works
Blue, orange, and red laces each create a different look. Blue offers a subtle contrast on neutral sneakers, orange adds a sporty pop, and red makes a bold statement. Consider the main color of your shoes and how much attention you want the laces to draw.
Step-by-step guide to replace and style Diemme laces
- 1. Remove the old laces completely: Unlace each shoe entirely, noting the crisscross pattern. This gives you a clean start and lets you measure the old lace if you don't know your model. Common mistake: cutting the old lace instead of unlacing. Always remove fully to avoid damaging eyelets.
- 2. Determine the correct length: Check the Diemme lace length guide: 125 cm fits Marostica Low, Cornaro, Cornaro Gomma, Grappa Hiker; 165 cm fits Roccia Vet, Civetta, Anatra, Galibier; 220 cm fits taller boots. If unsure, measure your old lace from tip to tip. Using a lace that is too short will make tying difficult; too long will leave excess that can trip you or look untidy.
- 3. Choose your new color: Select blue for a subtle accent, orange for a sporty look, or red for a bold statement. Consider the main color of your shoes and how much contrast you want. A common mistake is choosing a color that clashes with the shoe's hardware or sole. Hold the lace against the shoe before buying.
- 4. Lace the shoes using the original pattern: Start from the bottom eyelets and work upward, keeping the lace flat and even. Match the crisscross pattern you observed when removing the old laces. If the lace twists, it can cause uneven tension and wear faster. Straighten each segment as you go.
- 5. Tie and adjust tension: Tie a secure bow and adjust the tension so the shoe feels snug but not tight. The lace should hold firmly without digging into your foot. Over-tightening can damage eyelets or cause discomfort; too loose and the shoe won't stay on. Find a balanced fit.
