Abstract: A device for facilitating removal of a boot from a foot by a standing person has an elongated shaft with a preferably right angled upper end that is grasped by the person and a pair of arms that extend out from the shaft. The arms are positioned to abut a rear portion of the boot at an elevated location and function to strip the boot from the foot as the foot is raised. The shaft has a lower end which extends below the location of the abutment of the arms and the boot in order to contact the underlying ground or floor during removal of a boot. The user leans on the shaft in order to maintain the device in a fixed position as the foot is being pulled out of the boot and in order to maintain balance while the foot is lifted.
