An AGLET or AIGLET is the little plastic or metal cladding on the end of shoelaces (or any type of lace, though shoelaces are the most commonly referenced) that keeps the twine from unraveling. The word "aglet" (or "aiglet") comes from Old French "aguillette" (or "aiguillette"), which is the diminutive of "aguille" (or "aiguilee"), meaning "needle".
I hope a correct spelling with etymological explanation counts more to you. :-)

According to dictionary.com, the piece of tape at the end of the shoe string is called the "aglet." Here is the source for it.
