I thought this was ridiculous, but it works. My lawn had a lot of dead patches that needed reseeding. I knew I had to do something when I tried to follow the instructions on the grass seed bag: rake the area, turning up the soil. My rake bounced off the hardpan that was the largest dead area. Only two years ago this was sod!After soaking the area with my hose I tried again. Then I grabbed a shovel and started trying to dig. The first 2mm of soil was damp, and underneath was dusty bone dry hard-packed earth. At that point I realized I needed aeration. But I wasn’t about to buy an aerator or rent one from HD for $80 just for 40 square feet of dead lawn (the lawn is about 800 sq feet, so it’s not all dead).I picked these up because why not? It looked pretty dumb, but it was worth a try. At the worst I’d get some exercise stomping on my lawn then return it.I fired up the sprinklers, then went and stomped on the lawn. It didn’t look like it did much, and I resorted to hopping across the dead areas with both feet. My wife has a video of that somewhere. The holes didn’t seem big enough to actually do anything. But after hopping around I fired up the sprinklers again.The next day I did some more hopping. With that round I noticed that the ground was definitely softer, even under the dead areas; even those seemingly tiny holes seemed to do something. When the sprinklers ran previously I could see pooling and it running off of those dead areas. Now it didn’t seem as bad. I hopped for another round, and the spikes went into the ground much more easily. And the rake actually worked somewhat (it actually penetrated the dirt). I wasn’t able to churn up the soil with the rake yet, but now there was hope.After a few more days of this I’ll rake and reseed the area with TurfBuilder and see what happens.So for these, they work. I have them strapped onto a pair of old hiking shoes. You should probably use stiff soled shoes, because it takes a bit of force to get these into hard packed soil.Overall I’d buy these again. It’s a great addition to your never-ending collection of backyard tools.

Real Good. I like the way these lawn aerator spikes work. They have sharp spikes on the bottom that put holes in your lawn when you attach them to the bottom of your shoes and walk around a whole bunch. Most of the grass had died on my front lawn and then I got these and spread seed, peat moss and fertilizer and now it’s as green as can be. I’m an app developer by nature so I attached Bluetooth sensors to the base of each spike and created an app that connected to the spikes in order to gauge the depth and amount of holes they made in the yard. All in all, there were about 10,000 holes after 30 minutes of stomping around with each hole about 1-1.5 inches deep. I’m also an amateur stand-up comedian and was able to make quite a few jokes about my experiences with these shoes. Such as, “So, I live in a very religious neighborhood that has a church on every corner. I mean, it’s a god-fearing part of town if you catch my drift. As I was using these spike aerators in my lawn a few of my neighbors asked me what I was doing. Well, I told them, I’m making a holy lawn.” Needless to say, there were quite a few laughs at the tavern that night. At least 3 people chuckled and the rest of the crowd that didn’t laugh I assumed didn’t understand the joke. I then explained it to the rest of the crowd for the next 10 minutes but was asked to depart from the stage because the tavern was closing. I’ll definitely try this joke out again amongst friends, librarians, and crossing guards on my daily errand runs.
You are now prepared to stomp the yard. First, I have just tried them out once, so cannot yet comment on durability, although they seem really solid and well-made. So, obviously you need to put these on outside, and try not to walk on concrete that might dull the points. Next, you need to put them on as tightly as possible, because the looser they are, the easier it may be to ‘roll your ankle’, ouch. And anyway, you need to be aware of that danger. I found that it is easier to walk and get good penetration if I plant my heel first, forcefully, when I walk. At first, before writing a review, I wanted to see how the freshly stomped ground will behave once the rains come. But that is actually not the aerator shoes’ problem. They were simply made to punch holes in the ground, and I can already say they perform that task quite well, and feel quite sturdy. If you don’t get good penetration, either eat more or perhaps water the ground beforehand. If durability or other issues arise with further use, I will provide updates as warranted.
Great. So at 71 I have slightly weak ankles. BUT I learned to not use tennis shoes or boots! The product tends to slip and can’t tighten as well. I use my low, barefoot, shoes. Lots of coverage and keeps the product steady as I step.I use it each time I mow the yard as well as picking up dog poo. Might as well make use of them as if my yards a golf course and being walked on by cleats from golf shoes. 😜 After this hurricane I noticed the ground drained MUCH better. Really glad I’ve got these.
Watch out for unlevel spots. I’ve finished half the back yard and they do the job of aerating. However they do not stay on my size 9 womens shoe very well. Even strapped tightly they allow my feet to shift a bit. My yard looks level but has a few areas that slope very slightly. Walking these areas is challenging as it feels like my feet want to slip out of the straps and makes me unsteady.
Finally, a pair of spike shoes that actually work. I’ve purchased other spike shoes like these but the reviews seem to suggest that these are the real deal – and they are! Very pleasantly surprised how easy they were to put on and use. The velcro straps work well and never slipped or loosened.I developed my own “walking” style with these to aerate a golf green I have in my yard. It can be a bit tedious but really only took me about 30 minutes to do. You have to walk almost like trudging through snow – to make an effort with each step to lift your leg up. Found a few muscles I didn’t realize I had. It was not really tiring but I paused about 5 times to give my newly-found hip muscles a rest.Afterwards I examined the shoes and there was no damage and everything came out clean. They are very sturdy as they have a strong metal base. Really glad I got them.
Hard work for sure, but effecive. If you have hard compacted soil you should not expect this to be easy. The spikes will go in and they will aerate but not easily. They will get clogged with dirt if you have a lot of open bare spots (probably best to wait until it hasn’t rained for a week or so).They are very tough. My soil is compacted like rock hard and I was able to drive these spikes into it over and over, no problem. Make no mistake, it’s a workout. You may want to do the job in chunks rather than try to tackle the whole lawn all at once.If you have weak ankles you absolutely can turn your ankle using these spikes. If they hit a rock under the surface it can tip off to the side and roll an ankle. For me they’re great, it gives me a workout and let’s me spend some quality time inspecting the lawn while I aerate it. Today I found a termite nest!

Fallen leaves can get stuck in the spikes and block them from penetrating the soil. The media could not be loaded. The DenForste Lawn Aerator Shoes have got some seriously sharp nails, which is great for soil aeration, though the straps look a bit flimsy.The recommended shoe sizes are women’s 6-10 and men’s 6-9, and I appreciate the honesty. If your shoe size is a bit bigger by 1-2 sizes, they’ll still work, but don’t expect a perfect fit. For example, I wear a men’s 9, and my shoes are bigger than the aerator foot, which you can see in my video.I loved how easy it was to walk around in these, whether I had boots or sneakers on. I tested both, and they stayed on just fine. But these aren’t going to replace a machine aerator. I used them for about 10 sessions of an hour each, and they’re great for small areas with high foot traffic, like a garden entrance. But covering more than 2,000 sq ft in a day? That’s pushing it.One thing to note: if you walk around with these after cutting your hedge, the fallen leaves can get stuck in the spikes and block them from penetrating the soil. It’s better to clean up the leaves first!From my experience, these shoes work best after mowing the grass. If you’re expecting them to dig deep, it depends on your soil’s compactness and your weight. They won’t go deep unless the lawn is still developing or has some areas needing special attention.So, if you’re looking to maintain a small patch of lawn or have some problem spots, these are perfect for you. But if you’re aiming for large-scale aeration, you’re better off renting a machine.

Simple. The media could not be loaded. I have a few bare patches in my grass but didn’t want to pay for aerating. I have used the push ones but these are so much easier to use. They were not hard to walk in and felt secure on my shoes. I walked in the patches, then put down the seed. Simple.They worked so well and were on sale so I bought a pair for my mom. I don’t think these would be good for a large yard but for smaller patches definitely worth it.

Great and easy to use. I live in East Tennessee and use these while I mow my yard with a walking mower. I did it when it was dry outside, and they easily punctured the ground and did not clump up with any mud. I would not use these if the ground was wet as I could see a lot of mud clumping on them if it was wet. Overall, just do it when it’s on the more dry side and these things work great.
Great Idea, But My Shoes Now Have a Dirt Mustache. I was so excited to try the DenForste Lawn Aerator Shoes—finally, a way to get a healthier lawn and sneak in a leg workout at the same time. And for the most part, these deliver! The spikes dig into the soil beautifully, and after just one session, I could practically hear my grass thanking me. My lawn is already looking greener and healthier.However, there’s one issue: the dirt clumping. After about five minutes of aerating, my shoes looked like they had sprouted their own little mud gardens. Every few steps, I had to stop and scrape off the clumps, which made me feel like I was fighting a losing battle with Mother Nature. It doesn’t make the process impossible, just a bit… messy.On the bright side, the shoes are pre-assembled (a win for lazy DIYers like me), sturdy, and easy to strap on. Plus, they make you feel like a backyard ninja with spikes! 🥷🌱Overall, these are a solid tool if you don’t mind dealing with the dirt buildup. Just keep a stick or something handy for scraping, and you’ll be good to go. Four stars for the green lawn—and the brown shoes!
