ABSTRACT:
A footwear device with an improved means of closing thereof utilizing a lacing means extending through eyelets or hooks and being fixedly secured in a tightened position extending therethrough by being positioned through a cam cleat. Preferably the configuration of the cam cleat includes two individual cam cleating devices one on each opposite side of the ankle of the wearer which each may include a guide ring for facilitating guiding and retaining of the shoelace extending therethrough. It is preferred that the shoelace include a plurality of slits defined therein which are adapted to be positioned extending over and retained by studs mounted in spaced relation with respect to one another adjacent to each of the camming cleats to neatly and in an orderly manner prevent the laces from becoming dislodged from the cam cleat as well as to prevent them from being undesirably loosened. With this configuration the laces will be neatly retained extending along the upper surface of the upper member of the shoe configuration and will not be hanging loosely as with other conventional lace tieing configurations such as tieing the laces into a bow.
