    Abstract: A tieless shoelace that consists of two strings for one shoe with attachable ends and limited loose string that can be used on any shoe that has standard shoe eyelets. The attachable ends are to be inserted into the first upper row of a typical shoe. The attachable ends cannot be extended out any further than 3.5 to 4.5 inches due to a sewn stitch to reduce the risk of tripping over loose shoe strings. Once the first row is inserted with the attachable ends, the remaining shoe eyelets, starting from the second row and moving from top to bottom until the end is reached, would be inserted with the lower part of the shoe string. When the desired tightness is met, a knot is made from the two lower ends of the shoe string and the installation is complete. Any excessive string at the bottom of the lace would be cut-off to eliminate the risk of tripping on it. When the upper, two attachable ends are pressed together, the two pieces are temporarily connected to one another.
