A tubular member extends from a top of the base and a recess is defined in a top of the tubular member. A protrusion extends from a bottom of the lever member and a strap head is pivotably connected between two legs of the lever member. A toothed strap extends from the strap head and is disengagably connected to an engaging means on the boot. The protrusion is disengagably engaged with the recess in the tubular member.
