Abstract
The invention is a single hand operation shoe lacing system which has an elongate lace strap which is affixed at its front end to a lacing area of the shoe in the vicinity of the vamp. The lace strap is looped through a series of lace strap loops positioned in the lacing area of the shoe, alternately on the medial and lateral quarter panels of the shoe. The rear end of the lace strap adjustably carries a first engagement member with a second engagement member being positioned on the counter of the shoe. The first engagement member is adjustably positionable on the lace strap to adjust its working length. When the first engagement member is engaged with the second engagement member, the lace strap will draw the medial and lateral sides of the quarter together, and thereby fit the shoe to the wearer's foot, and when the first and second engagement members are disengaged, the medial and lateral quarter panels of the shoe can be separated, and thereby loosen the shoe on the wearer's foot. The shoe lacing system of the invention can easily be engaged and disengaged by a single hand operation.
