A laced shoe includes an upper having a pair of adjacent rows of laterally opposed eyelets. A lace is looped across each opposed pair of eyelets, upon the top of the shoe upper, to form a series of parallel horizontal stretches. A lace is vertically interwoven, in a basket-weave fashion, between the horizontal lace stretches such that a substantially co-extensive mass of horizontal and vertical stretches is formed to provide a lace enclosure offering a fastener of enhanced firmness. Alternatively, two separate laces or a longer single lace may be used to provide the horizontal and vertical stretches, with the distal portions of the single or dual laces being tied together following the formation of the interwoven mass. In the case of two separate laces, the respective ends may alternatively be tied into separate knots at the top and bottom of the lace enclosure. By forming the horizontal and vertical stretches from lace segments of disparate composition or colors, unique personalization is obtainable.
