It is an object of the present invention to provide a footboard which can be used in case of necessity by drawing out a footboard main body as a tread from a lower portion or a vicinity of the lower portion of a portion for getting on and off and then by lowering the footboard main body to an intermediate position of a height from a drawn out position to the ground below the footboard in order to make it extremely easy not only for general well-built adult men but also children, women, elderly people, people with leg or lumbar disabilities to get on and off a step portion and especially an automobile with a large vehicle height, called a van or a recreational vehicle, and having a door for getting on and off in a relatively high position. The invention is formed by assembling attachment members for attaching the footboard to the step portion, e.g., a floor face or a vicinity of the floor face of the portion for getting on and off of the automobile, left and right slide rails supported by the attachment members to advance and recede in a back-and-forth direction, left and right lifting/lowering stays formed by supporting through pins slide rails respectively mounted to the left and right slide rails, a footboard main body supported horizontally by the left and right lifting/lowering stays, and a mortise grip provided to the footboard main body for carrying out advancing/receding and lifting/lowering operations of the footboard main body in the back-and-forth direction.
