Needles, pinks and co.
Well - we had to get to the bottom of this question right from the start of our passion for shoes. And yes, the end of the shoelace actually has a name.
At Lace Place we call the end pin or metal pin and metal capsule. But basically the end of the shoelace is called a needle.
With shoelaces made of synthetic fiber, the... Needles pointedly welded together or covered with a plastic film. If the end of the shoelace is a metal capsule, then it is called Pinke.
Metal pins and metal capsules
Shoelaces without tying. Is that possible?
So that your shoelaces don't constantly come unraveled or you don't have the problem of frayed, wide needles, we have put together metal capsules and metal pins in the hottest colors for you at laceplace. All you have to do is tie the metal capsules to the ends of your shoelaces and you can easily connect the shoelaces by simply screwing the two capsules together very easy without binding.
The situation is similar with the metal pins - you don't have to do anything else after attaching the pins. Simply slip into the shoe and you're done.
