ABSTRACT:
A shoe with a lace fastening cleat which enables the shoe to be secured without tying a knot and with the use of only one hand or one finger, the shoe comprising a tongue, a lace, and two vamps having lace eyelets for receiving the lace and straddling and partially overlying the tongue. The lace fastening cleat is positioned over the tongue generally between the vamps and includes a lower flange, a shank portion extending from the lower flange, and an upper flange mounted to the shank portion and positioned over the lower flange to define a lace receiving opening between the lower and upper flanges. A lace retaining member is positioned on the lower flange and extends toward the upper flange, and the flanges are flexible relative to each other to allow the flanges to move apart from one another in response to the lace being pulled for winding and unwinding the lace about the shank portion.
