An apparatus configured to secure a shoe, the shoe having a sole, and an upper body, including a tongue region with two or more shoe flaps, wherein each shoe flap includes an interior side, an exterior side, and one or more shoelace eyelets:
- an exterior connector including a first protrusion, wherein the exterior connector is coupled with a primary body, and wherein the first protrusion is configured to extend from an interior side of the primary body, the first protrusion being configured to couple with another protrusion,
- an intermediate connector including an intermediate plane, a second exterior protrusion, and a third interior protrusion, wherein the intermediate plane is configured to sit on the exterior side of a shoe flap and above the shoelace eyelet on the shoe flap, wherein the second exterior protrusion extends from the intermediate plane in the exterior direction to couple with the first protrusion, the third interior protrusion is configured to extend from the intermediate plane in the interior direction towards the shoe flap to couple with another protrusion and sit in the shoelace eyelet,
- an interior connector including an interior plane and a fourth protrusion, wherein the interior plane is configured to sit on the interior side of the shoe flap and directly below the shoelace eyelet on the shoe flap, the fourth protrusion extending from the interior plane in the exterior direction towards the shoe flap to couple with the third interior protrusion,
- and wherein, responsive to the second exterior protrusion of the intermediate connector being coupled with the first protrusion of the exterior connector, and the fourth protrusion of the interior connector being coupled with the third interior protrusion of the intermediate connector, the primary body is secure to the shoe and the connectors are in a secured configuration.
