The RF81 “Fou Lace” Mechanical Shoe Tip
Its a shame when you have a beautifully crafted shoe and the first thing that breaks is the shoe lace. The idea to create mechanical shoe tips is inspired from a traditional Italian shoe practice which adds extra leather to the tips of laces to protect them and to keep them from slipping through the holes.
The FOU LACE is based on a patented 'threading' system which glides the shoe string through the pieces so that it grips into place and stays put without the need for screws, clips or any additional fastening mechanism. Plus they can be easily removed and applied to other shoes. Its the details that make the man, and with the FOU LACE your personal style goes right down to the end of your shoelaces.
