Abstract

The guide device for boot lace is constituted by an outer framework (11) possessing mechanical strength properties and capable of being fastened to the boot upper, and by an insert (12) made of a material having a low coefficient of friction fastened inside the outer jacket (11) and delimiting the path (12b) of the lace inside the guide device. This guide device makes it possible, in particular, to reduce the friction generated between the lace and the guide device.
