Oval Asics laces for running shoes
Oval laces are the standard for Asics running shoes like the Gel-Kayano, Gel-Nimbus and Gel-Cumulus. Their semi-round cross-section shifts less in the eyelet during the repetitive motion of running, providing more consistent tension across the instep stride after stride. Choose 120 cm for most models. Compare with Flat Asics Laces for lifestyle models where a flat profile is preferred.
