ABSTRACT:
A closure system is provided for a front entry ice skate sports boot having a top, an ankle portion with a back, a front opening, and sides extending above the ankle bone of a wearer, and an upper with a front opening. A plurality of guide means are disposed on the upper on opposite sides of the front opening for receiving and guiding a substantially flat flexible strap. The guide means are constructed such that the strap can be laced through the guide means in such a direction that the ends of said strap are generally near the top of the boot, and substantially encircle the ankle portion above the ankle bone. A hinge movably attaches the ankle portion to the upper for limited rotation therebetween. A plurality of guide means are also disposed on the ankle portion on opposite sides of the front opening. Fastening means are positioned on the strap and include a strap adjusting part through which the strap passes. The strap adjusting part releasably retains the strap in a fixed relationship with the fastening means. A hook for attaching the strap to the boot may be located on the ankle portion.
