• said tongue having a transverse forward edge surface disposed above the upper surface of the base;
• an elongated upstanding planar link pivotally connected at its depending end portion with the bifurcated end portion of said base and normally contacting said tongue edge surface for preventing rearward pivoting movement of said link;
• and,
• a normally horizontal yoke comprising a generally U-shaped planar member having a bight portion and forwardly projecting diverging legs adapted for frictionally engaging a boot quarter when disposed therebetween to facilitate removal of the boot from the user's foot,
