ABSTRACT:
A boot lifter comprising two elongated members arranged in side-by-side relation, the two members having forward and rearward ends and substantially flat coplanar surfaces thereon, each member having a cut away portion within its forward end forming a substantially U-shape opening adapted to receive the heel portion of the user's boot. Adjustable fastener means are provided for securing the two elongated members together while permitting relative movement of each member with respect to the other, whereby both the size and contour of the substantially U-shaped opening can be varied to fit most any type of boot. A pedestal member elevates the forward end of each member so that when placed on a level surface, the boot lifter is inclined at an angle which will accomodate placement of the idle foot or boot of the user to stablize the boot lifter when removing the boot.
