Abstract:

A boot collar adapted to be attached to the end of a boot. The collar is generally U-shaped having an internal rib adapted to engage the land of the boot. In one embodiment, the collar has a boot removal arm with a first end pivotally mounted to the boot collar. The removal arm is normally biased in a stowed position and movable to a operable position. When in the second position, the removal arm provides a cantilever upon which force can be exerted to assist in removing the footwear from the foot. When in its normally biased stowed position it is disposed where it does not interfere with the wearing of the boot. In another embodiment, a mounting post having a rotatable spur is attached to the collar.
