I recently cleaned up my Aldens after not wearing them for a couple years & I need to know what length laces to get.
Thanx!!!

Re: Aldens Laces Length
Personally I use 45" versions. The longer versions are just TOO much lace for me.

Re: Aldens Laces Length
I usually use the standard size 54" laces, but I agree that they are pretty long. Although I never use the top eyelet (which makes the length problem worse) I double knot the bow which takes up a lot of the extra length.
I have one pair on which I use 72" laces but I tie those with a full wrap around the top of the boot AND a double bow.

Re: Aldens Laces Length
That information used to be posted on the main site in the FAQ's before the rebuild, as it was information I gathered back when I was part of the old 'IndyDiggs' website and we were contacting original manufacturers and vendors of gear. Alden's has always done that as a high end shoe maker.
They also did it through their official shoe stores as well.

Re: Aldens Laces Length
Well, the timing for me was perfect, as my laces are about to break. I emailed them today asking for help in terms of length, and they are going to send them to me for free.
Thanks for the tip!!
