Abstract: A shoe closure mechanism that uses the weight of the user's foot to close two pivoting closure arms secured to the flaps of the shoe. The shoe closure mechanism includes a curved, shape returning, foot surround member with a central saddle back section positioned between two curved connecting ends, two pivoting closure arms each connected together at the bottom ends thereof with a pivot assembly and each connected at a top end thereof to one curved connecting end of the curved foot surround member. When the user places his/her foot through the foot surround member and places weight onto the central saddle back section, the saddle back section is straightened out forcing the two curved connecting ends together along with the two pivoting closure arms. The pivoting closure arms are automatically locked in the closed position by a locking mechanism including a spring biased locking bar.
