Abstract: Apparatus for assisting the removal of snow sports boots such as alpine ski boots and snowboard boots is described. The device includes a boot heel engagement member that cooperates with and engages the standard heel edge on a ski boot and a boot sole support that is forward from the heel engagement member. The heel engagement member and the boot sole support are either integral parts of a stable floor plate, or mounted to the floor plate and the floor plate has an extended rear portion. The boot sole support is elevated relative to the heel engagement member and has an angled surface that slopes downwardly toward the heel engagement member.
