Hey Dan!
Sorry for the delay - the boots are a pain if they fall off. One of mine came off the plastic clip. I remember I fought it for a bit, and I thought I was doing it all right, but no. You need to pull the rubber if I remember right, and it will secure around the plastic. You might be able to put the clip in and then toss the boot on. Have you tried that? I remember I fought with mine, but it was cold and dark...I got it right, but I was not sure how I got it. I will go look more tomorrow...(too dark now)
