My Grandfather’s Boot Rack Way back, probably in the 1960’s or maybe even before that, my grandfather made a boot rack. It was a simple rack, had a base with feet and six dowels to hold the boots. I can remember it always being on the porch and we would take our snow boots off and put them on the boot holder so the snow would melt off and drip on the cement floor rather than inside the boot.
