Abstract

The invention relates to a method for fastening a shoe (), having an upper part () and a sole () connected thereto, a rotary closure () for fastening the shoe () on the wearer's foot by means of at least one tensioning element (), the rotary closure () having a rotatably arranged tensioning roller (), and the tensioning roller () being driven by means of an electric motor (), and a switching element (), which is connected to control means (), wherein the switching element () and the control means () can actuate the electric motor (), wherein the operation of fastening the shoe () takes place by virtue of the person using the shoe () using a finger () to actuate the switching element (). In order for it to be possible for the shoe to be fastened on the wearer's foot in a particularly straightforward and reproducible manner, the invention provides for the switching element () to have a number of touch-sensitive sensors () which are arranged one beside the other and form a surface () which is accessible to a user's finger (), wherein the method comprises the following steps: The finger () is passed over the surface () of the touch-sensitive sensors () in a first direction (R), the control means () detects the signal from the touch-sensitive sensors () and the control means () and the electric motor () cause the shoe to be fastened on the wearer's foot with a first level of fastening force. The invention also relates to a shoe.
