What is the metal or plastic tube fixed tightly around each end of a shoelace called?

That metal or plastic tube fixed tightly around each end of a shoelace is called an aglet. 
Aglets serve two primary purposes: 
  • Prevent unraveling: They stop the woven fibers of the lace or cord from fraying.
  • Make threading easier: Their firmness and narrow profile allow you to easily push the lace through the eyelets of a shoe. 
The word comes from the Old French word aguillette, which is a diminutive of aguille, meaning "needle".
