ABSTRACT:
A shoe having an elasticized lower vamp opening in combination with an adjustable and flexible closure assembly to fasten the shoe. The elastic at the lower vamp opening permits this part of the shoe to expand as required by the flexing of the wearer's foot and to recover the tautness and tension originally available in the shoe. The closure assembly utilizes separable fastening members having complementary coacting flexible gripping elements as the fastening means, a fastener strap and an anchor means which engages the free end of the fastener strap to permit the wearer to easily adjust and maintain the closure assembly to the precise tautness desired and to fasten the shoe, using only one hand. The improvements of this combination enables the wearer to obtain the optimum custom-fit and overall foot comfort.
