Pick up a buckle-style spur strap. Hold the spur strap so that the buckle is on the right side, facing away from you. Attach the spur button on your right side through the right button hole.

Note that the dove-wing straps have one button hole on one end and many button holes on the other. The multiple button hole end of the strap goes on the inner ankle of the boot. Each spur and spur strap should form the shape of a circle with two diametrically opposing points, like polar axis. Match the spurs and strap together to ascertain which ends correspond to which. Ensure that the multiple button holes on both straps will face one another.

Adjust the fit of each strap by slipping the spur button on the inner ankle through one of that strap's button holes, which should also be on the inner ankle. Ensure that the spur fits securely with no wiggle room. Pull on your boots!
