Easy-On Boot Trick

If your tall, tight fashion boots (or any tight boots, really) don’t have laces or zippers, a plastic bag can help you get them on easily. Place a closed plastic bag into the boot, with the bottom of the bag reaching into the boot’s foot area and the top of the bag extending out over the boot opening. Hold the top of the bag and the top of the boot with both hands, then slide your foot in on the top surface of the bag lining the insides and into the boot. You can cut open the bag if it isn’t big enough to fit your boot—it’s the “slidey” plastic part that’s important. Once your foot is in the boot, pull out the bag.
