There are three simple steps to using one of these: 1st slide the heel of your boot into the U shaped opening. 2nd place other foot on the black part of the Jack and apply pressure. 3rd pull your foot out of your boot. It will slide right out of there without any argument. This particular boot jack is stained wood with the Chaar logo. The lining of the U shaped cut out will protect the heel of your boots from any scuffs or scrapes.
