Abstract: A system is provided which prevents boot tops from slouching or sagging. The system includes a wrap-around garter for the leg, having on its outer surface a hook-and-loop fastener surface. Self-adhesive strips having the mating hook-and-loop surface are attached to the inside of the boot, near the top of the shaft. The garter is fastened to the leg at the appropriate height, the boot is pulled on, and the hook-and-loop surfaces on the strips are pressed against the hook-and-loop surface of the garter. The garter then holds the boot shaft to the leg, preventing the boot from sagging.
