Abstract
A molded athletic boot such as an ice skate boot or ski boot is formed of a lower portion to which is hinged an upper. The lower includes an upstanding extension on each side of the forward instep portion to which flexible straps are secured. The extensions are crossed and the straps pass through apertures in the upper to encircle the back of the boot. The straps may then be drawn tightly around the back of the boot and secured together to close the boot around the foot of the wearer.
