A means to secure a device or parts thereof to the flaps of an associated shoe is flexible, and comprises a plurality of flap attachments which can be fixedly or detachably secured to the flap(s) of a shoe. Each flap attachment is attached directly or via intermediate attachments to an elongate member which is securable to the device. Each intermediate attachment has two ends, one secured to the flap attachment and the other to the elongate member. The elongate member can be longitudinally extendable and retractable and can be made up of shorter segments connected to each other. The flap attachments are pivotably secured to one another in a linear sequence where at least one segment is attached directly or indirectly to the device. One type of flap attachment is permanently secured to the shoe by methods like adhesive bonding and fasteners. Another is detachable from the shoe and consists of three versions. The first version has a peg-like structure placed through an eyelet of the flap and confines a portion of the flap between surfaces. The second version consists of a small elongate member, with two ends, inserted in a loop, where the loop itself is secured to the flap. Each end is securable to a support completing a closed circuit confining loop. The third version has the terminal end of a peg-like structure pinning a portion of a flap against one surface when the peg-like structure engages an opening in a proximal surface.
