samboy Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Hi gang. Will continuous use of pulling wellies off with a boot jack cause damage to the heels eventually ?. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I think it depends on how hard you have to grip/pull, but the potential for damage is certainly there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgsontour Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I find the inner of my wellies give way first but you don't realise how knackered they are until you buy a new pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Hello, depends what kind of boot jack, a V one in wood or a round style that fits you boots better, mine is the latter in plastic and years old but never damaged my wellies, even my Aigles going on 2 years, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All have a rounder 'boot socket' shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 You’re going to damage your boots pulling them off without a boot jack if they are that tight 🤔 anyway the boot jack comes in many different designes this is one of the most popular things that the customers kid’s want to make in my workshop for there dads / mums Christmas presents there designs vary enormously but the foot plate is usually big enough for a shoe from their horses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
