Abstract (en)

An improved method for preparing non-untying shoelaces, particularly for footwear, in which: - the end portions (4) of a shoelace to be prepared (2) are soaked in an aqueous solution comprising a softener adapted to create a rubbery surface layer, - the end portions (4) of the shoelace are dried after the extraction thereof from the solution in which they were previously soaked, thus obtaining a shoelace (2) which has, at said end portions (4), a rubbery surface texture which is suitable for ensuring the hold of a knot formed therewith, and characterized in that said softener comprises a fatty acid amide derivative in aqueous emulsion.
