Dear teachers,

The other day, me and my friend were taking an evening stroll in the nearby park.

Then I noticed my friends shoe and I said:

Your shoelace has gone loose!

Is that the correct way of expressing that thought? Can anyone think of any other way to express the same?

Thank you,

Sabrina

You will not usually hear, "Your shoelace has gone loose."
Usually we say:-

Your shoelace is undone.
Your shoelace is loose.
Your shoelace has come undone.
Your shoelace has come loose
Your shoe is loose.
