<p>PURPOSE: To enable a fastener to prevent unexpected hooking and play roles of fastening and protecting, by arranging the upper end of a hooking structure at a position withdrawing from the outer surface so that the upper end is at the height same as that of the outer surface of its support. CONSTITUTION: A protective means for a string 1 is constituted of a protective flap 8, fixed on one side 4 or 5 of a vamp, and made so as to cover the central part, which is occupied by the string, of the vamp when the free end 9 of the flap 8 is fixed. The upper end part of the hooking structure 10, comprising hooks or loops, on the vamp 4 is placed on a position withdrawing from the outer surface 12, so that the height thereof is made same as that of the outer surface 12, preferably little lower than that. Thereby dangerousness to be hooked or to damage cloth or the hooking structure is prevented.</p> |
