Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a shoe lacing configuration where short straps attached to sides of an article of footwear are formed with loops. At least one long strap extends through the loops in the one pair of the short straps, the long strap extending from side to side of the article of footwear. The long strap is further formed with loops at either end thereof. A lace extends through the loops in the long strap. The long strap has the effect of doubling the force applied to the lace on the short straps in a manner similar to that of a block and tackle thus improving the lace tightening characteristics of the article of footwear.
