A system for connecting mated pairs of shoes to prevent separation and possible mismatching when offered for sale in self-service stores. According to the system, the shoes at the time of manufacture are provided with a fastening tab inside the shoe. The tab comprises a length of narrow strong sheet material having a hole or loop at one end for receiving a fastening filament. The fastening tab is folded and disposed with one portion having the hole or loop at its end extending vertically up from the sole along the inside wall of the inner portion of the shoe but not attached to the shoe wall. The other portion of the fastener tab is secured by means of strong adhesive, stitching, staples, or all three, to the bottom sole of the shoe and the inner sole applied on top of the adhered portion of the fastening tab. The shoes are fastened together by passing a filamentary connector, preferably a locking plastic fastener, through the hole or loop in each of the fastening tabs and through the price tag before joining the ends together in a closed loop.
