Have you ever thought of walking with lawn aerator shoes on your lawn? If you didn’t know, there’s a lot of benefits using aerating shoes for the roots. Spiked shoes will penetrate the ground and, allow the nutrients, water and air to get to the roots. On a long term basis, your lawn will be healthier and stronger!

There’s 3 options that you can consider choosing to aerate your soil. You can use a spike aerator, a yard aerator or spike shoes! Usually the spike aerator is the most popular choice, but it may require renting a machine. This year I decided to try the option of studded shoes for one reason, my curiosity. I wanted to give them a chance!

Makes aerating easy by creating 2in. deep holes with each step.

Lawn Aerator Shoes

Take each stud and hexagonal nut, screw them in every hole by using the tool. Make sure you enter them in the right direction.

Complete each foot.

Once you’ve finished, you will have a step left, attaching the straps.

Get the strap through the holes to be able to tie them with your shoes.

The Bottom Line

I found that walking as a soldier was the best way to use them. Some of my friends are using them while they mow their lawn. The plastics are really durable and strap holders are doing the job even in hard-packed soil. The strap length is longer then expected but you can easily cut them.

If you have any areas in your yard that needs to be aerate, those shoes can be the solution at low cost! Have you ever tried them?
