Abstract
A lace tightening apparatus includes hooking elements or eyelets for tightening two portions towards one another. The eyelets are positioned in a single lacing plane and are inclined with respect to the lacing plane by an angle allowing the lace to be in contact with the eyelet only at two opposite points which are spaced from one another in the longitudinal direction. The lace tightening apparatus is particularly useful on a shoe.
