Aglets

Aglets are small protective caps or tips placed on the ends of shoelaces or cords. They help threads pass smoothly through eyelets or holes, prevent fraying, and increase the durability of the laces. Typically made of plastic, metal, or other materials, aglets also contribute to a neat appearance and make laces easier to handle when tying or threading through eyelets. In essence, they are functional components that enhance the longevity and usability of laces and cords.
