Abstract (en)

An athletic shoe (10) is secured on the wearer's foot by means of a lacing member (32) which the wearer ties to the requisite condition of tightness peculiar to his comfort for strenuous movements of his foot, In order to obviate undoing the lacing member from its requisite condition of tightness upon removing the shoe, as well as to maintain such condition upon donning the shoe, a quickly operable auxiliary securing means (40 or 50) extends forwardly alongside the course of the lacing member from the opening (16) of the shoe. The auxiliary securing means is operable by a simple finger-applied force successively to enlarge and restore the foot opening relative to its lace-secured size and may, for example, by a slide fastener (40) or a "Velcro" type of fastener (50). Such fastener may be disposed either on the instep or outstep side of the shoe; or two such fasteners may be used, one on each side of the shoe.
