ABSTRACT:
A fastening mechanism for the bootlace of a boot, which includes two upright and serrated side edges provided on either side of a cut-open portion of a boot to form teeth and notches all along the length of the edges, each tooth having an eyelet and projecting upward in the same direction of a lace running diagonally from one eyelet to the next-upper one on the other side to effect a better delivery of power of pull on eyelets for even tightening. Each of the teeth and notches gradually becoming larger in width and height step by step upwardly and equally on either side to effect a larger spacing between adjacent eyelets at each step upward, consequently resulting in a lesser number of eyelets being required and in less friction of the lace between the eyelets and a tongue provided on the inner side of the fastening edges, and including a lacing both ends of which are run initially outward through the bottom eyelets from the inner side to run to the next-upper eyelets on the opposite sides to continue in the same manner through them again to the next-upper eyelets on respective sides to effect an instant, simultaneous and uniform fastening throughout all eyelets, to bring comfort to the feet of the wearer under any condition and shortening of time of a fastening action for emergency operations such as military operations.
