This is the thing I’ve always needed but didn’t know it! I have some gardening boots that I barely wear because they are so difficult to remove and sometimes they also “suction” to my legs, making removal doubly difficult. My yard can be quite muddy at times, so I need to be able to use these boots. I tried the boot jack out and it easily removed my boots in 2 seconds flat! Now I’ll be able to wear my gardening boots more often. This will be handy for removing snow boots too. I really like the little hole on the end also. I can hang it up somewhere or keep it tucked under the porch bench and use the hole to grab it easily. I asked for it to be painted a distressed blue and I’m happy with how it turned out. It arrived a lot faster than I expected too, considering Hurricane Helene hit down that way. Thanks so much!
