Grab 'em by the boot, then twist to the left, then twist to the right, then pull.

"Do the hokey-pokey while you pull it all right out!"

Damn, now that song will be on my mind all night.

Seriously, that's a good way to release a stuck boot. You could also buy a remover tool like so

Boot Puller Tool

To prevent sticky boots in the future, a thin smear of dielectric grease on the inside of the boot will take care of the problem.

Have Fun
