Abstract: A lace adjuster system for selectively adjusting shoelaces (12) of shoes (10A, 10B) of a user, including a first lace adjuster assembly (13) for use with the first shoe (10A) and a second lace adjuster assembly (13) for use with the second shoe (10B). Each lace adjuster assembly (13) includes (i) a lace adjuster (14); and (ii) a feedback assembly (15) that is mechanically coupled to the lace adjuster (14), the feedback assembly (15) selectively measuring statistical data of the user during an athletic performance, the feedback assembly (15) including a sensor assembly (216) that senses a performance characteristic of the user during the athletic performance; and a controller (360) that receives the performance characteristic and generates a statistical data point that is based at least in part on the performance characteristic. The statistical data points can be combined to generate a combined statistical data point having enhanced accuracy.
Abstract: A lace adjuster assembly (12) is adapted to selectively adjust a shoelace (11) of a shoe (10) of a user. The lace adjuster assembly (12) comprises a lace adjuster (14) and a feedback assembly (19). The lace adjuster (14) is adapted to selectively adjust the shoelace (11) of the shoe (10) of the user. The feedback assembly (19) is coupled to the lace adjuster (14). Additionally, the feedback assembly (19) is configured to perform one of (i) selectively measuring statistical data of the user during an athletic performance, and (ii) selectively capturing an image of the user during the athletic performance.
Abstract: A lace adjuster for selectively adjusting and securing a shoelace of a shoe, the shoelace including a first lace end and a second lace end, includes an adjuster body, and a lace end retainer. The lace end retainer is coupled to the adjuster body. The lace end retainer is configured to receive and retain the first lace end and/or the second lace end between the lace end retainer and a surface of the adjuster body. The first lace end and/or the second lace end of the shoelace is thus inhibited from being moved relative to the lace end retainer and the adjuster body when retained by the lace end retainer by a force generated by a contact pressure of the lace end retainer against the surface of the adjuster body. The lace end retainer can be formed from a resilient material.
