According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Apparatus and associated methods relate to a hands-free rotational shoestring tightening device (RSTD) configured to adjust a tension of a shoestring by rotating a wheel against the ground. In an illustrative example, the RSTD may include a base module permanently attached at a heel at a proximal end along a longitudinal axis of a shoe. The base module, for example, may include an opening at the proximal end of the shoe. The RSTD may include, for example, a roto component configured to releasably couple into the opening of the base module. The roto component may include a wheel. The roto component may include an axle shaft coupled through a hub of the wheel. In an assembled state, for example, the roto component is releasably locked within a cavity defined by the base module and the lock module. Various embodiments may advantageously provide replaceable parts of the roto component."
