I'm a UK11, and the last few pairs I bought were 54 inches, which was perfect length.
As for width, thats all down to personal preference. Some prefer the standard 7-10mm that come with the kicks, others like 15mm some like 20mm. It depends on the show as well. Sometimes, fatties jusy look too much and you're better off with 10-15mm.
Experiment dude, see what you like best. You look at my collections, I have all different sizes and lacing styles. When it comes to lacing, ones style does not fit all!Very Happy

That's how I roll too, one lacing style just won't do, I've got a few variations, it really depends on the shoes.

Minky - If I'm going phats I find 54" is about the right length to lace the shoe and poke through the top hole, no room for bows though - if you're that way inclined

I tie mine up behind the tongue most of the time. This hides the ends, but it also stops the tongue from gradually sliding over to one side.

ok everyone thanks for all your help.I have now re-laced 3 of my pairs,just waiting for more laces to arrive.The laces on these are 1.5cm wide,which is probably just right for me..cleaned these sups up abit(although the black/white are beyond care)...
