ABSTRACT:
A collapsible bootjack for use in both putting on and removing boots having boot straps. The bootjack has a base member for supporting it on a flat surface and an elongate platform pivotally connected at a rear end to the base member with a generally V-shaped opening at its front end for receiving the heel of a boot. A pair of laterally spaced boot strap receiving elements disposed one at each side of the V-shaped opening extend forwardly from the front end for receiving the boot straps of a boot. The platform is movable to an upright erected position wherein the boot strap receiving elements are disposed in a generally horizontal position for receiving the boot straps and suspending the boot therefrom to allow a user to insert their foot into the suspended boot, and to a collapsed position wherein the platform is disposed on an inclined plane relative to the flat support surface with the generally V-shaped opening facing forward to allow a user to place one foot on the platform and engage the heel portion of a boot being worn on their other foot in the generally V-shaped opening and withdraw their foot from the engaged boot.
