Abstract
With the advent of the protective shoelace storage compartment incorporated within the new designs of the sports footwear, the shoes will appear less cluttered with the bow and lace ends concealed or all the laces, the bow and lace ends concealed. Without the laces dangling those individuals engaged in active sports like skateboarding will not have to worry about the laces of their shoes getting tangled in the wheels of the skateboard. The shoelace storage compartment may be closed by means of a zipper on the preferred embodiment or the hook loop fastening means on the alternate embodiment. The novelty of this invention is the added benefit of the concealed storage compartment for articles like identification, driver's license or money for those in sportswear not having any pockets or those traveling where additional precautions are necessary.
