Christchurch, Canterbury in the Colony of New Zealand, Drover, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention for "Improved boot Fastening" to be as follows.
In this invention a series iof loops are
fastened to both side of the upper of a boot and a strap is employed which is connected to
the boot upper upon one side near the bottom loop.

a buckle at the top of the boot upon one side enables the end of the strap to be made
secure.
