Claim:
A method for mounting an article to a shoe having one or more laces, the method including the steps of: A. first sliding a first member having a first second end between one or more interlacings of the laces and the shoe until said second end of the first member extends outwardly from the one or more laces; B. second positioning a second member having a first and second end that is integral with or supports the article to overlay the first member with the one or more laces between the two members; C. third rigidly clamping the two members together to grip the one or more laces tightly between the members and secure the article in position on the shoe and against movement relative to the shoe by receiving at said second end of one of the members one or more tabs that extend from said second end of the other member in indents that are positioned to correspond respectively to relative vertical separations between corresponding second ends of the first and second members, with the one or more tabs at any given time being received by the particular indents that retain the members in position to tightly grip the one or more laces.
