A nice idea, but the straps that hold the sandal on are totally inadequate!! I’ve tried several companies version of this product-all have the same straps that SUPPOSEDLY hold the sandal in place but DON’t! Save your money.

Also, spike aeration is nowhere near as good as core aeration. Any core aeration sandals?

I tried these shoes (spiked sandals) about a decade ago when we lived in NE Kansas. The top soil there was high in clay content. When the lawn was dry, the spikes (and my weight which is not insignificant) would not penetrate the soil, and the sandals kept coming loose and falling off. Wehn the lawn contained some moisture, the spikes would stick, and the sandals would pull off. My recommendation: don’t waste your money. If your lawn needs aeration, rent a core aerator or hire a lawn service to handle it for you.
