ABSTRACT:
A shoelace fastener for a shoe includes a clamp unit and a pull lace. The clamp unit includes at least one generally U-shaped flexible string section defining an opening, and at least one clamp member attached slidably to and extending across the flexible string section to divide the opening into a first aperture and a second aperture. The flexible string section has a U-bend cooperating with the clamp member to confine the second aperture. The clamp member is slidable along the flexible string section between a clamping position in which the clamp member moves toward the U-bend, and a releasing position in which the clamp member moves away from the U-bend. The pull lace is connected to the flexible string section for pulling the flexible string section so that the clamp member slides along the flexible string section to the releasing position.
