Given your special requirements though I’m not sure you will find what you need without having it custom made, and that might not be within your budget. It seems what you need is a boot grip with a covered back strap. I’m not sure there is such a animal.Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258825059275756221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510602155400642279.post-77179237410398730992011-04-05T10:19:57.310-06:002011-04-05T10:19:57.310-06:00No, I appreciate the links!

I believe it's a common problem, so don't feel all alone.
