A fastener for securing together two rows of eyelets comprises two strip-like members (12) which are joined longitudinally by a fastener (2) and in which the outer portions of the strip have hooks (5) which enter the eyelets. In order to provide adjustment the hooks may be mounted on fingers (15) selective ones of which are threaded through retaining means (18). The surface of each finger (15) has a saw-tooth profile which engages with a detent on the part (18) whereby the hooks (5) may be slidably adjusted and retained at any position along a finger. In use, the hooks (5) are engaged with lace apertures of a shoe and laterally adjusted along the finger to provide appropriate positioning. The shoe may then be released and removed from the foot in an easy manner by releasing the slide fastener (2). Instead of slide fasteners, comb-type and touch-and-close fasteners can be used. <IMAGE> |
