We would like to help you a little and have put together a few tips:

100cm / 39.4
inches is the most common size, it fits approx. 3-5 eyelets.
120cm / 47.2 inches is best suited for shoes with approximately 5-8 eyelets.

Check how long and wide the distance between the eyelets is, as this is also important for finding the right length for your shoelaces. If the eyelets are very close together, you will need shorter shoelaces, i.e. if there are 6 or more eyelets, a shoelace with a length of 100 cm / 39.4 inches is sufficient.

For children's shoes, 100 cm / 39.4 inches is definitely sufficient.
