Abstract
A lacing stud for slidably retaining a lace is disclosed which comprises a curved groove defined transversely by an inner side surface, an outer side surface and a bottom surface in between said inner side surface and said outer side surface. The curved groove features a braking means that partially restricts the sliding motion of the lace and is located within a portion of the curved groove which is engaged to the lace during the exertion of a pulling force on the lace in the normal upward lace tightening direction. When the pulling force is reduced, the lace is restricted from sliding back through the curved groove by the braking means thereby allowing the user to easily bring the lace across the front of the footwear to either complete the knot or to engage the lace to a subsequent lacing stud.
