Abstract: The present invention is a method for creating a device suitable for holding a shoelace. The purpose of the invention is to prevent injuries caused due to the presence of excess shoelace length when a user is wearing a shoe. The device consists of a fastener with hook and loop fasteners on one side and a bridge on the other side. The laces of a shoe are threaded through the bridge and are secured using the hook and loop fastener. The invention is designed such that the excess shoelace length is directed parallel to the sole of the shoe, thereby minimizing the possibility of the excess shoelace length contacting the ground and posing a hazard to the user.
