2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in sports shoes, the tightening force exerted on the instep is set to a desired magnitude by adjusting the tightening condition of the shoelaces when worn. This is to prevent the shoes from coming off during exercise by tightening them, and to strengthen the sense of unity between the shoes and the feet by applying an appropriate tightening load between the shoes and the feet. This is to ensure easy wearing conditions. If the shoelaces are not tight enough, the shoes may come off during intense exercise.On the other hand, if the shoelaces are too tight, the instep or ankle may be overtightened, causing muscle strain. Problems such as fatigue easily occur. Since the shoelaces are not only capable of being strongly tightened but also have excellent durability, their practicality is evaluated as an inexpensive fastener.

On the other hand, when the shoelace is inserted into the lace hole, frictional resistance is generated at the hole edge portion of the lace hole and an anti-slip force acts, so that the tightening force of the lace is transmitted to the tip of the toe. There is a problem that it is not done, and a problem is also recognized in the swiftness of replacement and attachment / detachment operation when a break occurs. In order to solve this problem, band-shaped fasteners have recently been used, one end of which is fixed in the vicinity of the mouth opening portion of the instep and the other end of which is attached with a fixing member such as a magic tape. This fastener can be used as a single structure or a structure in which two or more sets are combined, and can also be used in combination with shoelaces.

An example of a sports shoe using the band-shaped fastener is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-19512. In this sports shoe, as shown in FIG. 2, an engaging body (10) of a cloth fastener is fixed on an outer upper piece (9) of a mouth opening (11), and an opening portion (center) is formed at the front center of the upper piece. 1) shoe body (2) and front opening (1)
Ring-shaped shoe band insertion rings (3) arranged side by side
(3) ..., and a long belt-shaped shoe band (4) in which the engaging piece (6) of the cloth fastener is sewn to the tip portion (5). The rear end (7) of the shoe band (4) is sewn to the upper instep (8) of the inner side of the mouth opening (11) of the shoe body (2), and the front end (5) of the shoe band (4). After being sequentially inserted through the shoe band insertion ring (3) arranged in parallel along the opening (1), the tip end (5) of the shoe band (4) is engaged with the engaging piece (6) of the cloth fastener and the locking body ( The means for adjusting the tightening force to the central portion is formed by locking the lever by using the pressure engagement with 10).
