Aglet is what it's called.

One solution is to save some grams by removing the aglet, and melting the
end of the lace with a flame. This only works with synthetics of course.

Smarter still is to go with a velcro shoe, but make sure you get the kind
that once tightened expose only loops in the excess regions as the hooks
tend to grab the airstream quite tenaciously.

The best solution is to gaffer-tape your bare feet to a set of rubber
block pedals, but as I garner from you tone, you're probably not ready for
this level of commitment quite yet.
