Lawn Care Shoes: Spikes or No Spikes? These Shoes Will Make Yard Work a Breeze!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Well, folks, I finally got around to trying out those lawn aerator shoes I’ve been seeing all over the place. You know, the ones that look like you’ve strapped a bunch of nails to your feet? Yeah, those. My lawn’s been looking a little sad lately, especially in a few patches where the soil’s packed down tighter than a drum. Figured it was worth a shot.

So, I ordered a pair online, pretty cheap, and they arrived a few days later. I unboxed them.

Lawn Care Shoes: Spikes or No Spikes? These Shoes Will Make Yard Work a Breeze!

First off, let me tell you, putting them on was a bit of a workout in itself. They’ve got these straps that go around your regular shoes, and you gotta tighten them up real good so they don’t go flying off mid-stride. After a bit of wrestling, I got them on.

I felt a little ridiculous, to be honest, walking around my backyard like some kind of medieval torture device was strapped to my feet. But hey, if it helps the lawn, I’m game.

I started walking, focusing on those problem areas where the grass was looking thin. Every step felt weird, like I was poking a million tiny holes in the ground. Which, I guess, is the whole point. I could feel the spikes sinking into the soil, breaking it up a bit.

  • Walking: It takes some getting used to, walking with these things. You gotta lift your feet a bit higher than usual.
  • Coverage: I made sure to go over each area a few times, just to make sure I was getting good coverage.

I spent about an hour stomping around, and by the end, I was definitely feeling it in my legs. It’s a decent little workout, I gotta say.

Now, I’ve only done this once so far, but I’m already seeing a bit of a difference. The areas where I used the shoes seem to be draining water a little better after I water the lawn.

I’m gonna keep at it, maybe once a week or so, and see if those bare spots start to fill in. From what I’ve read, it takes a few months to really see results, so I’m trying to be patient. It seems really good.

Anyways, if you’ve got some compacted soil or trouble spots in your lawn, these aerator shoes might be worth a try. They’re not a miracle cure, but they do seem to be helping break up the soil and letting more air, water get down to the roots. Plus, it’s a cheap and easy way to get a little exercise while you’re at it!
