Best to use this when the soil is damp and soft so it's easiest. if it's too muddy, it's harder to pull up to step forward. If it's too dry, it's harder for the spikes to penetrate the ground.Definitely to wear with work boots or Army boot, but not shoes.For smaller sizes, patience is needed to move the straps to accommodate smaller sizes, but it's not difficult.Women with size 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 can use these, but great care must be taken to ensure the front strap is as far back toward the ankle as possible and as tight as possible, or the strap might slip off. The platform the boot rests on is not too long for a woman wearing size 5 1/2 to use.The straps are easy to adjust, and not uncomfortable, even when pulled tight. Readjustment/retightening might be needed after a half hour or so of nonstop aeration. Aerating the lawn this way is moderate work and good exercise. This will work legs and provide some cardio because it's not just like walking around the yard. These do take some getting used to, and someone might need a walking stick or (someone else's) rollator with large wheels for balance. These are not a goof product for someone that uses any kind of rollator for daily activities/walking assistance. Easier to go up and down hills instead of across them.Much easier, faster, and cheaper than the hard-to-use push-type aerators.After some rain, there was a noticeable difference between the aerated part of the lawn and the unfinished (unaerated part).

Could be better quality and easier to put on but for the price I give them a thumbs up

At my request, a representative of TruGreen came to my home recently. He surveyed my yard and recommended, among other things, that I aerate the soil. When he sent an estimate for just that service, the charge was $150. I told him I would do it myself. My wife and I researched available products and we settled on these aerator shoes. Before trying them today, a man from an independent lawn service, who canvassed my neighborhood, stuck a business card in our front door jamb advertising $80 for aeration. So, I have already saved quite a bit by purchasing these shoes.The product came intact and fully assembled. I donned them without any real difficulty, but it took a while to figure out how to align the Velcro straps. I'm 5' 10 1/2", weigh 165 pounds, and wear a size 12D shoe. I wore my Merrell Nova Traveler trail runners over the aerator shoes. I could not push the aerator shoes into the ground first before donning them as suggested by the enclosed illustrated instructions. My North Texas soil was too hard and compacted in the bare spot where I chose to start. I had to don them while sitting on my Coleman camping stool. Once I got up and put my weight on the aerator shoes, the spikes sank into the soil. I noticed that it was harder for them to penetrate dry soil. The spikes penetrated moist, grass-covered soil much easier. I struggled to maintain my balance at first. I learned that it was easier to walk in them if I canted my feet slightly inward while stepping down.Overall, I am well pleased with these shoes. They appear to be durable and well-made. The biggest advantage they offer me is saving money. They cost considerably less than the price of hiring professionals. And, since I only have to pay for them once, the more I use them, the more I will save.

Once I figured out how to put them on, they were easy to use. I just walked around with them on. I carried a 6-foot pole with me that I used to help steady myself with, especially when one foot would get stuck. You have to have strong legs to use them. It was a good workout for me, and I work out regularly. One thing that helped was that we had gotten a lot of rain recently so penetrating the soil was a lot easier. I gave it 3 stars for 2 reasons. One reason is that I don't have anything to compare it too. I don't know how much better rented equipment would have done. I only had about 500 sq. feet to aerate. Secondly, it's only been about a week since I used them and I'm waiting to see if it helps my grass come back. I am seeing signs that it has helped so that's a positive. If I see a noticeable improvement in my yard in the coming weeks, I will revisit my review and upgrade it. I have to believe that it will help at least a little bit.

Spikes are not tapered and are threaded at the 'sole.' This tears out grass, roots and dirt which stick to the 'sole.' This must be periodically scraped off or you no longer penetrate the soil to any degree.Holes almost immediately seal up after watering. A tapered and sharpened ferrule in place of sharpened bolts might solve this and the issue of material sticking to the spikes.Foot bed/ sole is plastic with little flex. I surmise it will deteriorate rapidly.XL was still three inches too short for my size fourteen feet.The foot bed/ sole is flat with the straps attached to it. Every time you step on the ground so do the straps which wears them out quickly. Easily solved in the injection mold process to include raised sections to incorporate the straps and eliminate a premature wear condition.Straps are too short for work boots.Summary:Needs longer strapsNeeds more rigid foot bed/ sole design for longevityNeeds raised edges for straps to keep them OFF the ground.Tapered (conical) shaped ferrules in place of the bolts to create larger pores and to minimize clogging issues.A longer device for large feet. Specific measurements should be provided for different needs.This was a great idea with real applicable use, unfortunately, all of its potential is completely unrealized in this cheap, poorly designed, poorly constructed, laughable waste of materials.

These are easy to use. They really helped the hatching and are completely economical, fit great, and are durable! Once you get comfortable walking in them, it's fine. Give them a go!

I liked that the design stayed on my boots and did not slip off. Was able to make many holes closer together than the two-pronged digging tool.

I live near the ocean, which for those of you who are in the same geographical location will understand my pain - around my lawn I have a lot of rock. I didn't fully understand HOW much rock until I put these on.For the most part, they sunk into the ground very easy. Do they work? I'll have to wait and see how my lawn holds up and when the grass starts growing greener!It was easy until I found some gravel/rock under the grass. One stone and you're falling over. You can't really catch yourself because your other foot is stuck in the ground - so be careful! Overall they were very easy to use, and came in one solid piece. I have smaller feet so I had to wear big boots for them to fit and work properly. I strapped them on fairly quickly, and make sure you have the straps in the correct spot and secure your shoes so they don't come flying off you when you're stomping around.It's definitely a leg workout so take it easy when you're trying them on your lawn.This is absolutely more of a money saver when it comes to lawn care. I was spending closer to $200 per year to have my lawn aerated by a company, and yes there are pro's to this way as I didn't have to work for the lawn, just spend. The company would come spread fertilizer two weeks before aerating, and then the following day come in with grass seed. I would be the one responsible for the upkeep afterwards!Moving forward, I'll be getting my steps in AND saving money - with just a little bit more work on my end. Again, I can't tell you the biggest pro/con list at this time, because my grass is just starting to reappear in its green state. For those looking for a more cost friendly way to take care of your lawn, I would 10/10 recommend.

Can use whenever you want and don't have to do everything in one day. Good exercise and well built. Be careful you don't too much the first time or your feet will be very sore the next day.
