A children's soccer coach has invented a solution that stops laces coming undone after getting frustrated by games being stopped so a player could have theirs tied up.<br />
<br />
Paula Henley, who runs an under 9s football team, had a lightbulb moment when a child turned up for training with a rubber band wrapped around each boot which held his laces in place.<br />
<br />
Mrs Henley, who like many football coaches and parents across Britain regularly has to run onto the pitch to fasten a child's errant laces, went away to develop a foolproof design that appealed to children - and came up with Laceeze.<br />
<br />
The product is a robust but brightly-coloured silicone strap that fits over any boot or trainer and has an enlarged centre section which totally covers the laces.
