ABSTRACT:
A cyclist shoe comprises a sole and an upper. The upper has a vamp with a variable throat located between side panels. Separately adjustable inner and outer straps have releasable hook and pile connections. Opposite end portions of each strap are secured to the side panels. The inner strap extends across the throat and along one side panel in a diagonal direction for primarily fitting the shoe to a cyclist's instep. The outer strap comprises a relatively large, flexible panel covering a substantial portion of the vamp around the throat. It extends across the vamp and the side panels in a transverse direction for primarily fitting the shoe to the cyclist's forefoot. A free end of the inner strap is exposed through a window in the outer strap enabling adjustment of the inner strap independently of the outer strap.
