    Works as expected

    These are easy to assemble and generally easy to use. They have slipped off on occasion but think that's down to user error more than anything else. Quality seems to be OK, only time will tell. Spike the lawn fairly well so do the job as intended.

  • Most critical review

    Has some drawbacks.

    Easy strap on? No I don't think so. Firstly no instructions as to the best way to thread the straps on. Secondly, the straps are way too long. Once put on and tightened there is about 30cm or more flapping about which must be kept out of the way. The spiked soles MUST be strapped tightly to the foot - not easy whilst balancing on 2 inch nails - else they will come off whilst lifting your food after spiking. Once fitted, I think they do the job well. It's just such a fart arse performance putting them on!

  • A great spikey lawn walk!

    I did read others reviews before I bought these lawn spike shoes, once they had got over the hurdle of strapping the shoes on, it was rated a great product. I have to AGREE. The plastic 'sole' is absolutely rigid, you have to walk flat footed in the main, so don't expect the sole to bend with your shoe, which basically means you have to make sure the straps are tight over your toe cap, and tight up around your heel or your foot may come out when lifting your heel - hence more flat foot!. Itsa basic 'double back strap fitting' like you get on some bags and case straps, and once threaded you can tighten and loosen. I suggest sitting in a chair, on a wall, floor etc by the grass to fit them, or stand on the grass whilst doing it, seems simple yes, but I did sit on the flagstones first, and had to take them off, easy to forget these are 'spiked shoes'. The spikes are easy to install, and would benefit when you have fitted them, from just tightening a tweak with a small spanner or pliers, they do hand tighten but you may find you are doing this each time after a 'lawn run', but no big deal, just dont want to loose a nut in the grass. . Once on , i stomped all over the lawn, and for my money THEY WORK A TREAT. Certainly easier to store than a rotary spiker, yes the rotary spiker works faster, is bigger, and possible greater for large lawns, but for my money, strap these on when using your mower and do two jobs at once - magic!

  • Let down by cheap straps.

    The soles of these 'sandals' are tough, the spikes are strong, sharp, and are easily and securely fitted. The problem arises with the straps: they loosen by themselves as you put strain on them when lifting the spikes out of the ground, and when I attempted to re-tighten one of the straps, the plastic buckle disintegrated, making that sandal useless. I ended up doing the whole lawn with one off, one on.

  • Not great 😕

    These are no good for me. They are one size so can't be adjusted. The straps don't hold them when you try to lift your foot from the ground. I tried to make them work but they don't. Someone else mentioned that the straps were not hemmed and would fray. I noticed that mine were the same but this at least can be fixed my melting the end.

  • The straps are very short

    I bought these as I am sick of aerating my garden with a pitchfork, but these "shoes" are very flimsy and I found it impossible to get the back straps to go over my shoe and hold on tight. The straps barely hold on and after 2 steps forward untie. If they were 4 inches longer it would have been an amszing product. I got some old shoe laces and tied it around my shoes, which did the job

  • Lawn Aerator

    Product strong, well made and easy to assemble. Straps work loose from fitting. Velcro would have been better

  • Not a great product

    But I suspect that despite being cheaper than competitors, the quality isn't any worse, those were some of the cheapest on the market. The plastic is very hard and durable wyich is good, but straps don't hod them sufficiently tightly to your lgs and you keep losing the sandals stuck in the ground.

  • Spiked shoes

    Had to put extra straps on to prevent them coming off. But there are unused spaces that I used. They seem to work OK now.

  • Labour saving

    I was a sceptical of these at first. I started to aerate my 90 sq mtr lawn with a fork but got bored after about a foot! Decided to look at faster ways to do this without hiring a machine and saw these. I must admit they did a fantastic job and I had the whole lawn done in less than 10 minutes. I recommend giving the lawn a good soaking before using especially if it's rock solid after the dry spell we've had. After my weekly ritual of using the sprinkler for 2 hrs I stomped around in these, bit wonky to start with but you soon get used to using them. Now my lawn will look great without me getting back pain and swearing at a garden fork for being so slow! Highly recommended for people who do not have enough time or painkillers to use a fork. I have size 12 feet and they fit fine.
