<p>An automated tightening shoe (100) includes a sole (11) , an upper (12) , a closure member (20), a tightening mechanism (30), and a drive unit (40). The tightening mechanism (30) includes a first fastener (31) mounted on the upper (12) , and a second fastener (32) connected to the closure member (20) and capable of removable engagement with the first fastener (31) so as to retain releasably the closure member (20) at a tightened state. The drive unit (40) is mounted inside the sole (11), and is operable so as to pull the second fastener (32) toward the first fastener (31) in order to inter-engage the first and second fasteners (31, 32), thereby resulting in automated tightening of the shoe (100). <IMAGE></p> |
