Abstract
A training aid for shoelace tying includes an expandable generally cylindrical sleeve having a center passage adapted to be received upon a variety of shoes and alternatively to be placed upon a human hand. A plurality of eyelets are supported upon the sleeve and arranged generally in an equally spaced array of two rows. A flexible shoelace is secured to the sleeve through the eyelets such that the end portions of the shoelace emerge from the sleeve interior and extend outwardly therefrom. In an alternate embodiment, the sleeve is formed largely of a nonelastic material and includes an elastic panel which provides expansion of the sleeve to accommodate different attachments.
