English term or phrase: slip-in part

I am translating a technical description of a fireman’s boot like this: http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8260/bootb.jpg.
The text was probably written / translated by a German technical writer.
What does ‘’slip-in part’’ mean in Item 2.1.7 below?

‘’2.1.5 At the upper leg height edge an ending made of net webbing has to be put in, which
supports the transport of water vapour.
2.1.6 At the rear upper leg height a slip strap has to be attached which is helpful when
putting on the boot and which protects the back heel bend t at the same time.
2.1.7 At the rear slip-in part a slip strap of at least 28 mm width has to be put in.
2.1.8 In the area of the ankle reticulated foam of 7 mm thickness is set in. The foam has to
be set in in a way so that it meets the anatomy of the heel.
2.1.9 On the sides reticulated foam of 3 mm thickness has to be set in.’’

Thank you

Selected answer:slip in strap or set of straps

Explanation:
Many boots have a strap or usually a pair of straps that the wearer can hold to help get the foot into the boot.

These are "slip-on shoes/boots" as opposed to "lace up shoes/boots."

With a lace up, the shoe/boot opens up more widely, so it is easier to get the foot in. The slip-on (shoe without laces) requires a slip-on handle.

The following links have useful pictures of these handles that are sewn on to the shoe/boot.

This is a section with a variety of "slip on safety boots." They all have some sort of handle, although since they are short boots they have smaller handles
