I'm not too familiar with shoe stuff, but a very small amount of research said that 24" shoe laces was good for a pair of 5 eyed dress shoes. I do not believe this. However, these shoe laces will work until I can get the 27" laces. I gave these laces a 3-star rating because the picture and company name imply that they were made in the USA (which I liked), but the shoe laces that I got say that they were made in Honduras, which is a little better than China, I guess.
