Handmade boot jack

Slip off your muddy Muck Boots with ease. These English oak boot jacks are made in the basement of an old stone mill in Lancaster England. Chris Foxsources the finest hardwoods from England’s Lake district that will last decades outdoors.

Use the rigid rubber non-slip surface to secure the jack with your opposite foot. Put in the back of your boot and off it comes.

Although originally trained as an engineer, I’ve always worked with wood and have been running my own furniture-making and woodturning business for a number of years.

I have a workshop in the basement of an old stone building in NW Lancashire, which is towards the top left hand corner of England.

Much of my timber is locally sourced, while the oak for larger pieces are Forest Stewardship Certified European stock.
