Abstract
An article of footwear is provided with a lace adjustment device that provides bi-modal lace adjustment. A toggle body has a lace aperture positioned eccentrically. The toggle body rotates about the central axis to move between a first position and second position. In the second position, the at least one lace has a greater amount of tightness than when the toggle body is in the first position. The toggle body has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and the lace aperture is positioned adjacent the first surface. The toggle body rests on the first surface when in a first loose position, and when the toggle body is in a second tighter position, it rests on the second surface.
