An ornamental structure that is constructed and arranged to be coupled to an end of a cord includes a body with a through-hole and a cord-end receiving cavity that has a width about equal to a diameter of the cord, where the through hole and cavity are proximate one another.

A shoelace system includes an elastic shoelace having a first end and a second end, and a T-bar attachment attached to the first end. The T-bar attachment is rotatable such that the T-bar attachment anchors the first end of the shoelace to an eyelet of a shoe when the elastic shoelace is pulled through that eyelet. The shoelace system further includes a fastening bracket having one or more openings. Each of the one or more openings has a plurality of inward-facing projections for receiving the second end of the elastic shoelace. The fastening bracket secures the second end of the shoelace in place after the second end is threaded through the one or more openings of the fastening bracket.

A laced shoe comprising a fastener is presented. The fastener comprises at least one fastening element, configured as an extendable connector which is by its opposite ends attachable to regions of the shoe at, respectively, anterior and posterior parts of the shoe, such that when the shoe is worn by an individual, said at least one fastening element, in desirably extended and attached state thereof, properly fits the shoe to individual's foot.

A strap tip structure includes a positioning fastener member and an outer cover. The positioning fastener member includes a mainbody, at least three clip members and an external screw structure. The at least three clip members are flexibly connected to the mainbody, and each of the clip members is an arc plate and has an end portion. The external screw structure is disposed on an outer surface of the mainbody. The outer cover is detachably connected to the positioning fastener member. The outer cover includes an inner space and an inner screw structure, and the inner screw structure matches the external screw structure. When the inner screw structure of the outer cover and the external screw structure of the positioning fastener member are screwed together, the positioning fastener member is accommodated in the inner space.

A quick tightening system for a shoe comprises at least two shoelace segments, a pull-tab having a first side of a hook-and-loop fastener on a bottom surface of the pull-tab, and a second side of the hook-and-loop fastener. The at least two shoelace segments each includes an aglet at a distal end of the shoelace segment, each of the at least two shoelace segments coupled to the first side of the shoe at a proximal end of the shoelace segment and extending through the eyelets on the first side of the shoe. The pull-tab includes aglet channels. The aglet channels each is sized to removably receive at least a portion of one of the aglets into one of the aglet channel while each of the at least two shoelace segments extends from the aglet channels into the eyelets on the first side of the shoe. The second side of the hook-and-loop fastener is disposed on an outer surface of the second side of the shoe.
