ABSTRACT:
A fastener for lace shoes and the like for utilization in combination with a tied shoe lace, comprising a flat base and a conjoined stem thereon suitable for insertion into a lace hole and a button attachable to the stem after insertion into the lace hole, for attaching the fastener to a flap of the shoe,
A tapered configuration on the button providing means for retaining a free loop of the tied shoelace around the button when in use, yet permitting easy removal of the loop from the button so that the flaps of the shoe may be moved apart for removal of the shoe from a foot,
Means for directing the pressure, caused by the pull of the lace, upwards into the shoe material rather than downwards into the foot,
Means for retaining the flat base in an orientation to maintain above direction of pressure,
Means for preventing inadvertent disengagement of the button from the stem,
Means to facilitate relocation of the loop on the button, means for locating the button over a lace eyelet on a lace hole to ensure contact between button and flap material,
And means for firmly attaching the fastener on a shoe having an unusually thin flap.
