bootjack

A bootjack is a V-shaped or U-shaped device used to help remove boots without bending over or using your hands.

You place your heel in the notch, step down on the base with your other foot, and pull your leg free from the boot.

Bootjacks were common household items when tall riding boots were everyday footwear; they remain useful for anyone wearing snug-fitting boots.
