Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021262721A1] A lace adjuster (16) for selectively adjusting and securing a shoelace (14) of a shoe (10), the shoelace (14) including a first lace end (18) and a second lace end (20), includes an adjuster body (22), and a lace end retainer (24). The lace end retainer (24) is coupled to the adjuster body (22). The lace end retainer (24) is configured to receive and retain the first lace end (18) and/or the second lace end (20) between the lace end retainer (24) and a surface (22A) of the adjuster body (22). The first lace end (18) and/or the second lace end (20) of the shoelace (14) is thus inhibited from being moved relative to the lace end retainer (24) and the adjuster body (22) when retained by the lace end retainer (24) by a force generated by a contact pressure of the lace end retainer (24) against the surface (22A) of the adjuster body (22). The lace end retainer (24) can be formed from a resilient material.
