Shoe laces were originally very narrow thongs of leather which were used to tie on the persons shoes. Nowadays they are purpose made much like woven threads with a small plastic coating on each end. They are threaded through the eyes of the shoe and when on the feet are tied, usually in a bow. Velcro is rapidly taking over from laces.............

Shoelaces (also bootlaces) are thin cords fitted to shoes to prevent the shoe from slipping off by accident. The shoelace can be untied and loosened, permitting the shoe to open wide to admit the wearer's foot; it can then be tightened and knotted. Shoelaces did not become widely popular until the 20th century, previously shoes were slip-on, buckled or buttoned. Buttoned shoes used a special tool, a button hook, to close the buttons but this was slow and difficult.
