Boot Jack

What is Boot Jack

A boot jack, sometimes known as a boot pull, is a small tool that aids in the removal of boots. It consists of a U-shaped mouth that grips the heel of the boot, and a flat area to which weight can be applied with the opposite foot. To operate it, the user places the heel of the boot in the mouth of the jack, stands on the back of the device with the other foot, and pulls his foot free of the front boot. The process is then repeated to remove the other boot.

Benefits of Boot Jack

A boot jack helps you get your boots off
I don't know what it is with Wellingtons but they love to stay stuck on your feet, if you like to keep warm and have a neoprene version these have some sort of special suction mode that comes as standard, which just loves to keep them stuck to your feet. So it's great to have a helpful devise like a Boot Jack to break that suction.
So how does it work–Well a Boot Jack is a fantastic piece of kit that has been around for many years, Its simple. You put your heel in the U section of the Boot Jack and your other foot on the flat part to hold it firm. And simply pull your foot out the Boot. It really is that easy and takes all the heave hoo out of the procedure, it saves your back too.

Helps keep your boots in good condition
You may be tempted to use the back door step or the toe of your other foot to help get your wellies unstuck from your feet but this really doesn't do your boot any good. It puts all the pressure in one place and can weaken that area of the rubber on your Boots and cause splits and cracks. You can pay a lot of money for a good pair of technical wellies, so they are worth looking after.
If you interested on how best to store your wellies to help keep them in good condition, you can read my blog about the use of welly racks here. Our wooden Wall mounted welly racks are a great way to store your wellingtons.

A boot jack will help keep you and your back door step clean
We wear wellies because it's muddy and wet right? So you've been out for a dog walk, had a day's shooting, walking across cover crops in wet sticky soil, or like me doing the fabulously luxurious job of poo picking your horses. Your covered in mud.If you didn't use a boot jack, how would you get your wellies off? Sit on the floor and pull at them with your hands, doing so sort of fancy Yoga move. Or have you tried to pull them off with your hands while standing up. That's a challenge that needs to be on the TV as it would win awards for how funny it is. Although it's not funny when its you who ends up splat in some mud. (After a day out in the field in a muddy car park). Not to mention the amount of mud you get on your hands. Yuck. So using a simple Boot Jack which can be stored in your Boot Bag along with your wellies after you have finished at the yard or after a walk makes life so much easier and cleaner.

Helps with aches, pains, bending and no pulling
Like I mentioned previously Boot Jacks don't just need to be used for Wellingtons, they can be used for Work Boots, Foot Ball Boots or even shoes. Young or old there is no age limit.
For someone who finds it difficult to bend, has back problems or even arm problems a Boot Jack can be a great help.–I have had quite a lot of people that have purchased them for this reason and even if you don't wear wellies.

How to Make a Boot or Shoe Jack

Cut a piece of ¾ x 4-1/4 x 12-1/2 hardwood, then cut the traction kerfs.

Hot glue a thin wood gauge to help you visually line up your saw blade with 15 marks starting two inches from the bottom and spaced every ¼. Set your saw to cut 1/16 deep kerfs into the surface. I glued some sandpaper to the backside of the miter gauge to keep the wood from slipping as I pushed the workpiece through the blade.

Sand the edges of the kerfs with 150-grit sandpaper to keep them from chipping. Just ease the edges. You’ ll want to retain a bit of an edge to act as a gripping surface for your shoe or sock. This added texture will make slipping your boots off a piece of cake.

Cut the tapers on the sides of the blank with a sled, tapering jig or a bandsaw. Each side tapers about 5/8.Print out the 2-page template and tape the halves together to get a full-size template so it looks like the image here. Trim and match the pages to fit your blank. I used 3-M spray adhesive to glue it to the wood blank to act as a guide while cutting the shapes. If you don’t have a printer, draw a grid on some thin plywood or MDF and then sketch the pattern using this drawing as a guide. The shape doesn’t have to be perfect to work.

Use a band saw or a scroll saw to cut out the shapes at the top and bottom of the blank.Cut the support foot from ¾ stock. The long side (toward the large cut-out) should be 1-3/4 and then beveled back at an 11-degree angle. I cut the bevel from longer stock on my table saw with the blade tilted and supported with the miter gauge. Drill two 3/8 holes ¾ deep then drill a pilot hole in each for the screws. Be careful not to drill all the way though! Assemble with screws and glue. Once the piece is assembled, give it a final sanding with 220-grit and apply a wipe-on oil finish.
