Abstract
A boot jack that is removably attachable to a distal end of a rod so that the individual can grasp a proximal end of the rod and use the boot jack to remove their shoes while either sitting or standing. The boot jack has a v-shaped part between which the user can place the heel of their shoe to removably engage the shoe with the boot jack. A clamping structure attaches to the v-shape part for removably securing the boot jack around the distal end of the rod so that the boot jack extends outward away from the rod at approximately a 90-degree angle from the longitudinal axis of the rod.
