Abstract
A shoelace locking device has a base with holes through which shoelaces can be threaded to attach it to a shoe. The base has a first well in which the knot can rest, and a plurality of serrated projections for retaining the laces. The base has a flexible elastic sheath integral with an elastic hinge and cover. The cover has a matching second well for receiving part of the knot. An elastic latch on the cover can be pulled over a catch on the base to lock the assembly closed and prevent the knot from untying.
