A closure is made up of a strap (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610) and a holder (130, 230, 330, 430, 530, 630) that engages with the strap while it tightens and loosens, and a retainer (170, 270, 370, 470, 570, 670), which retains the holder in one of the two positions relative to the strap. For items opening lengthwise (e.g., sneakers), the closure includes a lace (795). To unlock the closure, the user moves the holder to the unlocked position. To lock the closure, the user pulls the strap, which automatically moves the closure back to the locked position. The strap has two sets of teeth (112, 114, 212, 214, 312, 314, 412, 414, 512, 514, 612, 614). One set (112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612), the switching teeth, automatically moves the holder from the unlocked position to the locked position.

A shoe has a sole, an upper and a counter portion. The upper is securely connected to the sole and has a rear end defined with an opening. The counter portion is pivotally connected to a rear end of the sole to close the opening in the upper. A fastener is mounted on the upper and the pivotal counter portion to connect the pivotal counter portion to the rear end of the upper. Accordingly, a wearer's foot in the shoe can be vented. Also, for a pair of tied shoes with the pivotal counter portions can be put on or taken off without tying or untying the laces. The use of the shoe becomes more versatile and more convenient.

A barefoot shoe with bottom and upper, and with fasteners for fastening the barefoot shoe on the foot of a person wearing the barefoot shoe, has a bottom consisting entirely or at least almost exclusively of ring structures. Preferably, the upper also consists entirely of ring structures, or the upper has areas consisting at least almost exclusively of ring structures. A barefoot shoe is thus created by which the feet of a person wearing the barefoot shoe are, in quick succession, kept wet, dry, cold, warm, etc., without there being any danger of injury and without there being any danger of annoying foreign bodies entering the shoe. The barefoot shoe also has good static friction properties, even on irregular ground surfaces. The barefoot shoe can be quickly cleaned and has sufficient hygiene properties. The barefoot shoe is also light and flexible and can be given an attractive appearance.
