John Golomb, The Original Glove Doctor, has restored over 70,000 gloves over the past four decades. These are the same laces we use in our shop every day.

Each 72" leather lace is cut from premium American hide and tanned for superior resistance to moisture and heat. Our laces retain their firmness and flexibility longer, resist cracking, and outlast standard replacement laces, even under heavy use. Made in the USA.

These baseball glove laces are built for glove repair and relacing. If your glove feels loose, worn out, or needs tightening, replacing the laces is one of the most effective ways to restore structure and performance. We use these same laces every day in our glove repair work, where durability, consistency, and long-term performance matter.
