Lawn Aerator Sandals

Comments about Lawn Aerator Sandals:

Takes effort to get it set up right, but worth it since it does the job as described. I would recommend using heavy duty boots. I used an old pair of vasque sundowner leather hiking boots and it worked nicely. I was able to walk a good pace and even jog a couple of times.

Be sure to tighten the nuts very well. I did lose two.

It would work if you can get it to stay on your shoe. I tried boots and tennis shoes and they come off after I take one or two steps. My husband tried them and he couldn't get them to stay on. We tried strapping them on several different ways.
They didn't come with instructions on how to strap them on or some helpful hints.

I feel like I just threw my money in the trash with these awful things

[...]I gave them to the man that does my lawn. They fit fine, and worked well. He punched holes in my lawn with the shoes and then he seeded it. Time will tell if the seeded worked, but I know the shoes did.

Come on, you guys, I expected better from Vermonters! What would be so big about including a little diagram showing how to fit the straps on these things so they work, for those of us that are strap-and-buckle deficient? After trying maybe a half-dozen combinations, I finally found what I THINK is the correct setup - and they STILL came loose and fell off after a few steps. And "Rob from Atlanta" told you a year ago that the heel lip needed to be higher... do you pay attention to this stuff?

Buyers, before you return these (or toss them in your recycling bin), do what I did: replace the supplied straps with leather boot laces, cross the rear ones around behind your ankle, Prince Valiant style, and tie them with a regular square-knot-with-a-bow (like you tie your shoes). Then they'll work a treat! (can't do it with loafers or bare feet, tho, they'll cut into your ankle and instep - I use my motorcycle boots)

I give them an "A" for concept, but a "D" for execution.

Do not waste your money on this item. Read the reviews. They will not stay on your feet.

This is a great idea, they just didn't design it well. There's not enough of a vertical lip at the back of the heel to keep your shoe in the correct position, so after taking just a few steps, they fall off... the straps are not enough to keep your shoes positioned properly on the plastic platforms.

I am somewhat of a clutz so I started slowly by just using one shoe, it worked out fine. I then got up the courage to use both at once and made sure not to step on my own feet, I was good to go!
The yard look great, I used it for getting the lawn back in shape, 1st made the holes then sprinkled some grass seed, in a week the lawn was greener(a bit of rain) and I didn't have to worry about fetilizers that poison pets.

The nails are sinking into the lawn, so I guess aeration is happening. If nothing else, my neighbors got a [...] laugh out of it as I made a grab for their escaped basset hound just as I stepped out in them for the first time! Go figure, on his timing. Hope I don't end up on YouTube for that one.

I love these! They were easy to assemble and worked great! Even in the hardest areas of the lawn. Just a quick walk around the yard and the ground is softer and much more easily accepts the water, rather than having continuing run off! Thank you for the wonderful product!! :)
