A fastener for sports shoes, comprising a base member, which is adapted to be secured to one side part of a quarter of a shoe, a slider, which is mounted on said base member and slidable along the same in a tightening direction and adapted to be fixed in position to said base member, a tightener lever pivoted to said slider, a loop member pivoted to said tightening lever, said base member formed with an elongated aperture, which extends in the tightening direction and formed with teeth protruding into said elongated aperture, said fastener also comprising a locking block, which is inserted from below into said elongated aperture and extends through said elongated aperture and through a registering closely fitting slot formed in said slider and protrudes above said slider and has teeth in mesh with said teeth of said base member, and spring means engaging between said locking block and one of said base member and said shoe quarter for urging said locking block upwardly so that the locking block when depressed against the force of said spring means disengages said teeth of said locking block from said teeth of said base member and the slider and locking block can then be displaced along said elongated aperture.
A sports shoe comprising
- a shoe quarter having two side parts and
- a fastener for connecting said two side parts,
- said fastener comprising
