Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a shoe lacing configuration for an article of footwear such as a boot (1), where the boot is provided with two rings (15), one ring supported on either side of the boot proximate an ankle supporting portion of the boot. A long strap (20) is looped through the two rings such that the long strap defines an elongated C-like shape. Each end of the long strap is formed with eyelets. A lace extends through eyelets formed in the boot in a traditional criss-cross manner, and the lace further extends through the eyelets formed in the long strap. The long strap has the effect of doubling the force applied to the lace in a manner similar to that of a block and tackle thus improving the lace tightening characteristics of the boot. <IMAGE>
