Enhanced lace tightening system including a plurality of apertures extending through the main body of a shoelace and smoothly finished end caps allowing unimpeded passage therethrough. A process includes a finishing step whereby end caps are generated without frayed edges to facilitate passage of the same through apertures to position appropriate aspects of the laces rapidly in a position from whence little tension loss occurs when properly disposed. Products by the process incorporate silicone, metallic elements, and related enhancements providing specifically improved shoelaces for any number of applications for a stated goal of drawing and fixing together two opposite edges.

1. A shoe lace for drawing and fixing together two different edges, comprising: a lace body having a longitudinal length and at least two opposing sides; the lace body further including a plurality of discrete apertures disposed therethrough and along the longitudinal length, and an end cap device having a smooth outer finish, which the end cap passes readily through each of said plurality of discrete apertures without becoming frictionally engaged within any of said plurality of discrete apertures, thereby permitting said lace body to engage said discrete apertures for drawing and fixing together the two different edges.
