The Shoe Valet provides a way to put on boots or shoes without having to bend over. The patented device is 24 inches tall and has rubber-lined jaws that securely grip the boot without damaging it. Holding the Shoe Valet by its upper handle, the user slides the jaws over the boot or shoe then pulls upwards. This action causes the jaws to close over the boot so it can be pulled onto the foot. Once the boot is on, the upper handle is released, letting the jaws slip off the boot.
