Abstract

Variable tension footwear lacing systems and methods permit and facilitate adjustment of selected zones by a user. In an embodiment, stop devices are used with a footwear lacing system to prevent opposing closure edges of a footwear article from advancing towards each other. The stop device includes a stop guide configured for fastening to a portion of the footwear article, and a stop element. In an implementation, the stop element includes a stop head and a releasable affixing member. The stop head is configured to be manipulated by a user to releasably secure the affixing member to a selected position across the length of the stop guide. The stop head is operable to contact a first closure edge of the footwear article. In an embodiment, during use first and second stop devices contact first and second opposing closure edges of the footwear article and prevent them from advancing towards each other.

2. A footwear lacing system for an article of footwear that includes a tongue area having first and second opposing side edges comprising: a plurality of lace guide members affixed to the first and second side edges and positioned in opposing relationship to each other for guiding the lace to traverse the tongue area; at least one lace guided by the guide members to traverse the tongue area; and at least one adjustable stop device configured to contact a lace guide when the lace is tensioned for preventing the first side edge from approaching the second side edge when the lace is tensioned; wherein the stop device comprises a stop guide and at least one adjustable stop element, the at least one stop element having a stop head and a releasable affixing member, wherein the stop head is configured to be manipulated by a user to releasably secure the affixing member to a selected position across the length of the stop guide and wherein the stop head is operable to contact a lace guide member; a first distal end of the stop guide is configured for attachment to a tongue of the footwear article; and 31
a cross guide member configured for attachment to the tongue, the cross guide member comprising a base section with a sleeve to accommodate a free-floating, second distal end of the stop guide, and a guide portion including at least one channel for guiding the lace.
3. A footwear lacing system for an article of footwear that includes a tongue area and first and second opposing closure edges comprising: at least one lace having an end that is provided with threads; a lace guiding system having a plurality of lace guides affixed to the first and second closure edges for guiding the lace to traverse the tongue area in a plurality of locations to enable tightening of the footwear on the foot of a wearer; and at least one lace end lightening device affixed to the footwear for accommodating an end portion of the lace to provide for adjustments to the tension of the lace; the tightening device comprising a twist-tightening mechanism for engagement by the user; a threaded member associated the mechanism configured for mating threaded engagement with the end of the lace that has the threads; a structure associated with the threaded member for resisting rotation when not desired; and an end section for mounting to the footwear article; wherein rotation of the twist-tightening device tightens or loosens the lace to facilitate adapting of the article of footwear to the user's foot.
4. The lacing system of claim 3, wherein the structure comprises flattened side portions associated with the twist-tightening mechanism so that the mechanism does not rotate after the user tensions the lace.
5. The lacing system of claim 3, wherein the lace end tightening device end section is freely rotatable with respect to the twist tightening mechanism threaded member.
6. A lacing system for an article of footwear having an upper that includes including an ankle portion that surrounds the wearer's ankle, a lower portion located above the wearer's foot, a tongue that extends from above the ankle to near the toes, two opposed closure edges that partially cover the tongue, and cable guide members associated with the closure edges, the lacing system comprising: a first cable embedded within the upper and extending from the ankle portion to the lower portion for adjusting the fit on the wearer's foot without interfering with the flexing of the wearer's ankle; a second cable operatively associated at least with the cable guide members of the ankle portion of the upper for adjusting the fit of ankle guide portion on the wearer; and a tightening mechanism for tightening or loosening the first or second cables to adjust the fit of the ankle or lower portions of the footwear article.
7. The lacing system of claim 6, wherein the first cable extends form the ankle portion to the lower portion of the upper through the tongue.
8. The lacing system of claim 6, wherein the tightening mechanism is operable to independently tighten or loosen the first or second cables.
9. The lacing system of claim 6, wherein the tightening mechanism is operable to tighten or loosen both the first and second cables.
10. The lacing system of claim 9, wherein the cables are rotationally connected to the tightening mechanism.
11. The lacing system of claim 6, wherein the second cable is threaded in a serpentine path that terminates in an end station.
12. The lacing system of claim 6, wherein the cable guide members are embedded within the upper.
13. The lacing system of claim 6, further comprising a stop device that includes a stop guide and at least one adjustable stop element, the at least one stop element having a stop head and a releasable affixing member, wherein the stop head is configured to be manipulated by a user and is associated with the first cable.
14. The lacing system of claim 13, wherein the stop element comprises a tab. 33
15. The lacing system of claim 13, wherein the stop guide includes a plurality of teeth.
16. The lacing system of claim 15, wherein the affixing member includes at least one tooth for releasably meshing with the teeth of the stop guide.
17.
