Fire brigade?

Go to A&E - in my experience they can get any leather boot off you within a few seconds, not exactly an emergency but I am sure they will quickly get you sorted.

Ice bucket.

Then it is a cut off job unfortunately

A&E will only cut it off surely better do it at home?
Do you know why your ankle is so swollen?

 

[cobgoblin]

Is it stuck halfway off or is your foot actually in the boot?

If in the boot get a very thin plastic bag and cut the end off so that it's a tube. Pull over your boot and poke it down around your foot as far as possible, especially around the heel, with the shoe horn.... This may give you enough 'slip' to use the boot jack.

Some time my joins swell due to an illness I have 🙄XX

I can’t get through the boot with scissors. Might send mum to get some sharp ones 🙈

Clothing/bandage scissors.
I work in A&E ... haven't met something I cant get off yet

Or hang your foot from the ceiling for a bit?

 

[cobgoblin]

Seriously.. Try the plastic bag, it makes a huge difference.

Whoop whoop it’s finally off had to go for the cut it off option in the end with some different scissors. I tried a plastic bag but couldn’t get it past my ankle . Thanks all better go buy some more boots 🙈 xx

Have a look at Tuffa. I love their long country boot. Expensive but hugely adjustable so if you have this issue again hopefully you can remove them easily and save some money!

Put your foot in plastic bags before you put your new boots on. Bread bags good for this. Happened to me on riding holiday in Spain.

Pop in to your nearest fire station. They're excellent at cutting things off, including wedding rings.

Make sure your new boots have zips all the way down.

 

[risky business]

Glad to hear the boot is off!

I did have a small chuckle imagining all the different ways you've tried to remove the boot!

You need a pair of tuff cuts! Working for the ambulance service means I usually have a decent supply, cut through most things they will.

 

[AFB]

Full length zips next time!

Endurance style short riding boots with laces, no problem getting those off.

I had my wedding cut off again , for the third time. You think I would learn.
