OP, they’re obviously called aglets.
Didn’t Phineas and Ferb teach you anything?
I’m too old to know what Phineas and Ferb is, but when I was young I used to love knowing obscure words like:
-
The indent between your upper lip and your nose is called the philtrum (more commonly known now because of piercings
-
The recess on the bottom of a wine bottle is called a punt.
-
The infinity symbol (like a sideways 8) is a lemniscate
-
The cap on the pointy end of an umbrella, or any other tubular thing (including a pencil) is called a ferrule
-
The space between your eyebrows is your glabella
Etc. Anyway, aglet was one of those. I was always so happy when I had an opportunity to use one (“Oh, man, my aglet broke!”).
And the infinity symbol is likely related to the analemma, the shape the sun traces out over the course of a year.
But are you old enough to remember Tom Cruise discussing them in the film Cocktail? (in the cinema on the original release‽ )
Well, it came out when I was 26, but I don’t think I saw it.
The cardboard ring around a coffee cup is called a Zarf

Shoes.
Shoes, with the Aglets of the laces resting upon them.
They’re aglets. I believe Phineas and Ferb is a cartoon, but I’ve never seen it.
These are Aglets. I didn’t look it up, i watched Phineas & Ferb as a child.
Aglet. Archie comics did a bit on them, that’s where I learned

Too damn close to the camera for my liking.
Aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
Aglets. Terraria my beloved.

Aglets, and it’s 100% due to Phineas and Ferb

Don’t forget it!
Shoes? Maybe Reeboks?
Edit: I am appalled by how many people know the term aglet.
