The boot jack includes a generally rectangular base having two bores in one end. A rod-like member forms a V-shaped stirrup having portions extending vertically and horizontally with respect to the base so as to form a loop. The ends of the horizontally extending portions are inserted into the bores for attaching the rod-like member to the base. The base is maintained horizontally while the rod-like member provides an incline for the V-shaped stirrup. The rod-like member is preferably made of mild steel so as to provide a spring action in gripping the heel of the boot.
