Tieless footwear lacing system, apparatuses, and methods of using the same

Abstract

A footwear lace securing system which in some embodiments may comprise a first tension strap apparatus having a first elongate strap body with a first medial end, a first distal end, and first tension strap fastener. The first medial end may be coupled to a shoe lace between two shoe eyelets. The system may also comprise a second tension strap apparatus having a second elongate strap body with a second medial end, a second distal end, and a second tension strap fastener. The second medial end may be coupled to a shoe lace between two shoe eyelets opposite to the first elongate strap body. The first and second tension strap apparatuses may each be configured to wrap around the upper and sole portions of the article of footwear in opposing directions and may be secured to one another by coupling the first and second tension strap fasteners together.
