Abstract
In some implementations, a boot includes an outer shell having a first side and a second side located opposite the first side. The boot also includes a retention strap, a first one-way tensioning device, and a second one-way tensioning device. The first one-way tensioning device is coupled to the first side of the outer shell, and the first one-way tensioning device is configured to allow movement of the retention strap in a first direction and to restrain movement of the retention strap opposite the first direction. The second one-way tensioning device is coupled to the second side of the outer shell, and the second one-way tensioning device is configured to allow movement of the retention strap in a second direction and to restrain movement of the retention strap opposite the second direction.
