 disa-point-ingJun 08, 2008
By J. Bemis
"green thumb"
I was disappointed with these spike shoes, even though they weren't very expensive. The straps did not secure the shoes very well over my shoes, even when I adjusted them properly. I pulled one of the straps tighly and the plastic nylon buckle snapped. Bottom line, when I did get them to fit and stay attached, I had to walk very carefully to avoid them falling off completely. The average person is not going to want to deal with it. The spikes are very strong and do a good job of aerating whatever you do managed to step on. If they improved the strap system and they stayed on your feet, I'd pay MORE for a product like this.

Useless strapping system and instructionsJun 27, 2006
By Iatros
If you want to even try them for the first time, be prepared to develop your own strapping system. The instructions are useless, and the strapping system is not intuitive at all. It seems as if the designers never tried them before.

 Marginal ProductJul 09, 2006

Shoes too small for anyone with a decent size foot. Company had no symphathy when called and complained! Did some rework with them to fit over shoe. Would not deal with company again.

Great idea, bad implementationMay 10, 2008
By Brad
"Brad"
It's a great idea but poorly implemented.
Here's what's not so great about these "shoes":
1) the buckles on the straps are plastic and after tightening they bend. if you tighten too much they break. They should be metal buckles.
2) the heal plate is way too small and your shoes will eventually loosen and your feet will slip off the back easily.
3) when walking on dirt it tends to stick to the shoe. stay on the grass and you'll have a better experience.
4) the straps come loose too easily
5) the straps are way too long
6) after the buckle starts bending it's really hard to loosen the straps.
I wore them as i mowed the grass and they worked ok for the first go around. then they slipped off. Then the buckle broke. Then they wouldn't stay on. It was a lot more work mowing! for better or worse ;)

Not good. Needs a better design.Apr 26, 2008
By William Martin
"Zone 7 Gardener"
I weigh 210 and I guess I am too heavy for these because when I stepped on the soil and sunk in it brought up the soil on my lift. This caused divots. Also one of the plastic fasteners cracked.
I found a better way to airate the lawn. I used the weed hound and it left nice holes where the weed was. I hit those holes with the hose and I know water is getting down there.
