Product Description
Give your lawn a breath of fresh air with lawn aerator sandals. Attach spikes to molded plastic base, strap onto your shoes, and take a walk on your lawn! As the spikes of your lawn aerating shoes puncture the ground, they allow air, fertilizer, and water to get down to the roots. An alternative to renting expensive lawn equipment. One size, 5 1/2"x 12" long.

As far as usage goes, im 170 pounds. The spikes had no problem going right down all the way. One thing I did do was spray a little coating of wd-40 on the spikes right before using....it keeps the dirt off and helps them sink in better. I walk in a herringbone pattern. don't try and walk like you would normally do. You have to push straight down and pull straight up for these to work. The best way is how I mentioned above. Imagine you have skis on and the tips are pointed away from each other. This makes it easier to balance and easier to walk in. Also, if the spikes don't go all the way in, wait until its raining or just rained to try again, or do the lawn as best you can then try again in a few weeks. Forcing them is a sure fire way to break one......so that's it.....for the price these are unbeatable. work like a charm if you follow the directions and use a little common sense.
4/19/2013 Update - After putting the product together and using it for the first time, i felt compelled to update this post. The straps are of the cheapest quality and DO NOT stay on your feet, thus when walking through your yard, it makes for a VERY akward experience and you will be lucky if they stay on your feet. I tried for literally a sold hour to weave the straps in and out of the plastic pieces to try and find a way to get them to stay on tightly without comming lose to no avail. I am a fairly intelligent hands on guy and I am telling you first hand, this product will not work. I wish i had rented or purchased another product of much higher quality. At times, you win when saving money by purchasing a cheaper make shift product, but this unfortunately is not one of them. You would literally be better off taking basic garden tools to try and aerate your yard, trust me.
This product is of the cheapest of the cheap and i highly recommend staying away from it. I will be literally throwing it away. It does not even make sense to keep in a garage just in case as it will NEVER work and furthermore if you have children it is an extremely serious hazard as it is a very dangerous product to have in reach.
STAY AWAY. I would post this novel unless i truly cared and would hope that others would benefit from my experience as i have benefited from similar posts about products.
Other tips: wear heavy work or hiking boots. Also, don't do it when the soil is muddy or it really builds up between and you have to stop every few minutes to scrape it out with a stick. Best when the soil is just moist enough to soften it.
Note that I can't speak to the effectiveness of lawn aeration, that's not what I bought them for. I had large bare patches and weeds in hard compacted soil, so I used these to loosen up the top layer so the new grass seed I put down would have a chance to get in and grow. Worked pretty well for that
