In the conventional lace with knobby portions having elastic rubber core, there is difference in degree of stretch between both ends and core of the knobby portion. Therefore, there are a portion that is subjected to heavy stretching force and a portion that is subjected to no stretching force, and when large strain is accumulated at the boundary between the portions subjected to different stretching forces and the strain reaches the limit, the lace ruptures. In order to solve the above problem, we provide a lace provided with tubular lace body of elastic material, comprising knobby portions repeatedly placed at intervals, of which diameter vary depending on tension on the knobby portion in an axial direction. 1. A lace provided with tubular lace body of elastic material , comprising:a knobby portion repeatedly placed at intervals, of which diameter varies depending on tension on the knobby portion in an axial direction.2. The lace according to claim 1 ,wherein the elastic material is braided by rubber-like material and less-elastic normal material.3. The lace according to claim 1 , further comprising:a centrally-placed lace that is centrally placed in the tube configured by tubular structure of the lace body, consists of less-elastic material, configures a core of the knobby portion, and is balled up at a portion corresponding to the knobby portion so as to follow a variation of distance between ends of the knobby portion in response to the variation of the diameter of the knobby portion.4. The lace according to claim 1 ,wherein the diameter of the knobby portion of the lace body is 1.5 times or more of that of a non-knobby portion of the lace body without tension in the axial direction.5. The lace according to claim 1 ,wherein the diameter of the knobby portion of the lace body is 1.3 times or less of that of the non-knobby portion of the lace body under tension in the axial direction.6. The lace according to claim 2 ,wherein the lace body is braided at 45 degrees ...
