A footwear lacing system (22) 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 (24 and 29) of the footwear (20). The lace (23) and guides (50) preferably have low friction surfaces to facilitate sliding of the lace (23) through the guide members (50) so that the lace (23) evenly distributes tension across the footwear member (20). The tightening mechanism (25) allows incremental adjustment to the tension of the lace (23). A release mechanism (63) allows a user to quickly loosen the lace (23).
