silly question
I am just starting to learn to skate and bought my own skates (Riedells). I decided I should get a pair of laces to keep in my skate bag. So I don't have to take mine out of the boot to measure does anyone know how long most laces are?

That's not a silly question at all, and it's a great idea to keep an extra pair of laces with you; many of us do that. The length of your laces depends on the size of your skates. I wear a size 6.5 shoe and use 90" laces. RainboSports sells them in sizes 72", 81", 90", 100", 108", 112" and 120", and happens to be having a 20% off sale right now.

One thing you can do is take the laces out of your skates and measure them -- I would guess with an 8 1/2 shoe/skate size you would need laces that are 108".
These laces from Rainbo are also combination Nylon/cotton laces which are okay, but I find that they slip, or feel slippy on my boot. I am pretty picky about laces and prefer cotton ones, but others prefer the nylon laces. |

I like the combo cotton/nylon laces. If you know which you have now, and like them, then you should try to stay with that kind.

I like the thin nylony ones that I have on the Harlicks but they don't half hurt my fingers! I've got callouses on my ring fingers from tightening them up x
