Tip 1: Boot Removal

When havign a problem with a boot stuck on a foot, first try to maneuver the foot so that the heel is upwards towards the top on the boot with the toes touching where the arch of the foot would normally be, if you try this and the foot will not pull out anyfurther, you should use a lubricant of some type, I've heard of people using everything from babypowder to cooking spray, just be sure it's not oil based such as WD40 because this may cause the boot to begin to breakdown (get really sticky) and eventually ruin it. I have also heard hot water can help this problem, too. if all these tips fail, get an exacto Knife and carefully cut a slit from the heel to the top of the boot and remove the foot that way. Just remember a pair of boots is cheaper than a new figure.
