This is a decent sized hefty paddle that delivers a good sting with very little effort. Consensual couples into some medium to heavy BDSM activities would find this product to be a good addition to their red room of pain!
The boot tread pattern makes for some whimsical jokes about giving your partner a boot to the ass while also giving a fair amount of ouch factor. While we haven't had reason to discipline that hard yet I would imagine the treads would make some noticeable marks on a plump tush. Beginners should take care when using the Jackboot because it's quite simple to overdo it with this product. More skilled players will appreciate the ergonomic comfortable handle and it's weighty quality feel.

The makers of the Raging Stallion Jackboot Over The Knee paddle have put a comical tinge to a paddling toy. Despite the somewhat novelty look this is a well made quality addition to your pain chest that should last for years.
The wood backing looks to be manufactured from laminated oak and is thoroughly lacquered with a nice stain and clear finish. It resists attempts to bend it and is thick enough that I can't imagine anyone being able to snap it during even very rough trade. The handle has some faux leather glued to either side and it's further held in place with 5 stainless steel screws. My opinion is it will be very difficult for this to peel off even with years of spankings.
The rubber boot tread pattern is also held solidly onto the wood body and the raised tread pattern is pronounced about 1/4 " with a raised stallion emblem in the middle. The rubber does posses an odor but isn't overpowering and instead reminds me of a new car smell. There is also a braided polyester loop at the handle that is meant for hanging up the piece.
The overall length of the Jackboot is 15 inches with a maximum diameter of 4 1/2 inches. The handle itself is approximately 4 inches long fitting any size hands with good ergonomic control.

This is a paddle that I wouldn't recommend for areas of the body that don't have some plump flesh to them. Personally I find it delicious to be given a good rump spanking and it's also delightful on my thighs. I found it overly painful when my partner tried a few good whacks on my back because the skin is close to the bone there. The tread pattern leaves some good red reminders of the paddling I've received but nothing that hasn't faded in a few hours. As I mentioned already we haven't ramped up the roughness to a point where any tread patterns have been left on my ass but I would think that this paddle could do such a thing. My partner always treats my buns to some good healing kisses and massaging after to relieve the pleasurable sting which is key to the whole pain/pleasure game.
One thing I do find missing is the slapping sound that usually accompanies the use the standard paddles. The Jackboot's tread don't allow a full large area smack to the skin instead giving the receiver dozens of little pressure points during contact. It's a different feel with a different sound and sometimes I just enjoy being disciplined with the solid wood reserve side of this toy.
So far it has worn well with no damage or de-lamination of the materials and my partner finds it comfortable in his strong hands.

Maintenance of the Jackboot is quite simple. I recommend a wipe down with a damp cloth after use only and avoid storing it in direct sunlight. Don't soak the toy in water because the wood will peel, swell, or crack.
Sunlight will also degrade the wood, fade the finish and make the rubber become brittle. For storage we hang it up in our toy cabinet on it's handle loop.

The greenies out there will be thrilled that the packaging is just a plain small clear plastic bag. There are absolutely no instructions included with just a small paper tag adorning the paddle with the product name, what it's made of, and that it was assembled in the PRC.
