Disclosed is a footwear lacing system comprising a lace (23) attached to a tightening mechanism (25). The lace (23) is threaded through a series of opposing guide members (50) positioned along the top of the foot and ankle portions of the footwear. The lace (23) and guide (50) preferably have low friction surfaces to facilitate sliding of the lace (23) along the guide members (50) so that the lace (23) evenly distributes tension across the footwear member. The tightening mechanism (25) allows incremental adjustment of the tension of the lace (23). A release mechanism allows a user to quickly loosen the lace (23). |
