Friction Supported Boot Strap Having a Grippable Surface and Method of Making the Same

Abstract

A stretchable boot strap having a friction enhancing layer and a comfort enhancing layer is provided. The stretchable boot strap is adapted to be positioned on a portion of the wearer's lower leg. When the stretchable boot strap is positioned underneath a boot, the frictional interaction between the stretchable boot strap and the interior surface of the boot prevents the boot from sliding down the wearer's leg.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for preventing boots from sliding down a wearer's leg,
 comprising of a stretchable strap having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface including a friction enhancing layer with at least one friction enhanced region and the second surface including a comfort enhancing layer; wherein, when positioned on the wearer's leg, the first surface is adjacent to an interior surface of a boot and the second surface is adjacent to the wearer's skin.
