Abstract
A shoe closure system is capable of operating in two modes. One is a conventional mode wherein the closure is secured in a conventional manner using a threaded and tied lacing member. The other is a quick-fastening mode where the closure may be secured using a hook-and-loop fastener and wherein the shoe may be opened without unlacing the lace member from the lace bars. A removable lace bar is provided with eyelets and a hook-and-loop fastener such that it may be releasably secured in overlying fashion to one of the other lace bars. In the first closure mode, the removable lace bar and one of the conventional lace bars function as a single lace bar with the other conventional lace bar. In the quick-fastening closure mode, the lacing member is laced only through the removable lace bar and one of the conventional lace bars such that the removable lace bar may be selectively fastened to the other conventional lace bar.
