ABSTRACT:
The shoe construction generally includes a closure component having a set of interleaved, opposed stretchable fingers, and a stretchable cord securing the ends of the fingers together. The fingers are composed of stretchable material to grip the foot in a yieldable manner. Such a shoe construction and closure component is comfortable, due to the stretchable cord and fingers which expand during walking or running. Moreover, the resilient and stretchable closure component of the present invention, at the same time, aslo fits snugly against the upper contours of the foot to provide a new form of comfortable support. At the same time, in some forms of the novel construction of the present invention, it can be slipped on or off the foot, without undoing, or otherwise altering the closure component.
