ABSTRACT:
A shoe lacing system comprises a lace, anchor elements, and a mechanism for releasably attaching the ends of the lace to the shoe. The anchor elements comprise guides having a first portion for attachment to an existing eyelet of the shoe, and a second portion through which and with respect to which the lace may move. The lace comprises a double-strand of material having a low friction outer surface. A middle portion of the lace is routed through and between the anchor elements located on opposite sides of a tongue of the shoe. The ends of the lace extend from the anchor elements near a top of the tongue along opposite sides of the shoe to the rear of the shoe. Each lace is connected to a tab having a section of hook or loop material designed for engagement with a mating section of material on the rear of the shoe.
