No-one knows exactly! Like shoes, shoelaces have been around for thousands of years, long before either names or inventors were ever recorded. Having started as basic string or leather thongs with which primitive humans bound their foot coverings, they would have gradually evolved into the shoelaces that we know today, with no individual ever credited with their "invention".It is widely mis-reported that shoelaces were invented by Harvey Kennedy on 27th March 1790. This date is centuries after shoelaces were in common use and is clearly NOT correct. Perhaps he patented a particular type of shoelace, but he did not "invent shoelaces".
The first aglet was produced by dipping the fraying end of shoe lace into hot wax. When the hardened it made it easier to tie up the shoes. There is no record of who first made the aglet, but the word comes form the Latin and French words for needle ("aguillette", a little needle).
They're called aglets.
