"Best Aerator" Opmeiro Lawn Aerator Shoes "Aeration" (Full Review) 2023 💯😁

at home with Lucas here so today we're going to be talking about a pair of lawn aeration shoes but these are not just normal shoes they'll actually slap onto any pair of shoes that you have but as we find out later on in this video preferably you want to wear some kind of boots or hard sold shoes [Music] so in this video we're doing a quick Hands-On with the Box First Impressions on said lawn shoes then I'm gonna put those bad boys to the at home Lucas test to figure out are they something you should buy or maybe skip all together I'm here for use I have to waste your time buying and returning all right let's go ahead and jump into it [Music] all right let's take a look at this bad boys you got lawn aerator shoes for better and healthier environment that's what's up people there's an image of what's to come in the box pre-assembled pre-assembled ready to use strong and durable that is all you need to tell me right there I bought a pair of these and they made me screw in every single one of the little things and it was absolutely annoying you had to hold the nut on one side and screw it in from the other side it was terrible people all right easy to use hopefully uh one size fits all six shoe sizes fully assembled absolutely love that all right let's get inside this box people all right let's take a closer look at this bad boy so there you go those are all the tines right there assembled fully ready to go they did the hard work for you you don't have to try to screw those in take a look at the top where your shoes are gonna go oh okay this is way better you got a little heel support right here and you have two straps on the back not just one so that's really cool just like sandals yeah the last pair I bought you just had one over the front like this and then you had this one here and it was terrible they kept getting loose and getting stuck in the ground not fun at all so uh yeah I think it's gonna rain tonight so that means I'll be out there tomorrow morning let's get these reviewed okay I definitely missed this in the Box they they stuck in a little trowel or possibly more likely a weed um digging tool let's take a look yeah that's definitely something uh to dig into your lawn I like the fact they gave you that so it's got this serrated side over here so if you have like a little tree growing in your grass and you want to cut it down I'm sure you could do some damage with that and this side is just regular um but yeah a little bonus very cool I like when companies do that big thumbs up for that okay so it looks like these are right and left so this is obviously going to go on the inside and this is going to go on the outside so that's how you know but the shape is basically The Identical so let's go ahead and slap these on my feet okay there we go so one size fits all maybe maybe I wear a size 12. uh eleven and a half sometimes so you can see my toes are definitely sticking over for sure this side tightened down really tight I have a lot of excess on this side I have almost none so I'm not sure if I did something different on this side versus on this side but nonetheless they feel really good let's get them out to the lawn and get a stomping okay here is my lawn in question right here this is what I think is compacted you can see in this area right here it just doesn't grow as much and it really doesn't grow very fast and it has a lot of thatch build up and when you walk on it it's like walking on basically like the sidewalk over there so that's going to be the main area right here that I'm going to focus on the most um so let's go ahead and get a going okay so like I said earlier it definitely was gonna rain it did rain and I am walking through this like it is nothing um it's going in and coming out really really easily very very nicely wow yeah the last pair that I had when you went to pull up this would all stretch and just really be quite a mess and cause you to have to like wrench your foot out kind of hard but this is very nice okay so what I was doing is I walked it straight across then I walked it up and down and I tried to keep my feet really close to one another and try to make my stepping a little bit more of a half gate if you will that way I was able to cover basically the entire lawn and not miss an area where it didn't get any holes punched in it so this was the best way that I found plus you could watch the grass and see where you were before so that was actually really nice it kind of made it look like I had aerated the lawn which was really cool [Music] okay so one thing I did find out is you definitely have to make sure you're giving a good push and not just walking because sometimes if you're just walking like normal heel toe what's going to happen is you're not going to impact the full Spike depth so I was finding myself sometimes impacting the heel more and the toe a little bit less because I popped out like a normal walk so I was having to push and you do this sort of like stomp thing as you're going along and you can create your own you can go sideways another thing I found out is that these definitely want to be worn with boots so if you have soft shoes like these they're gonna loosen up the heel kept popping off right here which was super annoying I'm probably gonna have a little bit of calluses um but that's because I have the wrong Footwear for sure but yeah so they definitely definitely did their job um if your soil is dry to the touch I would say don't do this um sprinkle it with a sprinkler or wait until it rains and then do it okay let's give these things a star rating so I think they do a good job I like the fact that they're a solid base at the bottom they didn't feel like they're wiggling or wobbling um my grass is a slight Hill so what I was Finding when I was on certain spots if there was like rocks or something it would kind of tip me a little bit um and that's probably because I wasn't wearing boots and these weren't able to be completely locked down they definitely locked down way better than the last pair that I used so that's a big thumbs up on the spikes going into the ground they're not that thick and they're not that long but this is basically the standard that you're going to get so they really don't get much longer than this for shoes probably because you'd have a harder time pulling it out of the soil so I'm gonna give these things a solid 4.8 star rating I'm going to say that they're almost five stars it actually looks like you can adjust it down here I didn't even notice that so it looks like you can bring this up closer yes you can right there so that would help out if he had smaller feet so one size fits all is probably more accurate but if your foot is a size 13 or or bigger it's going to start to stick out so definitely take note of that but yeah so learn how to walk in these things and they're going to do phenomenal do it when your grass is damp and not super um super compacted and dry so I highly recommend it to everyone out there that knows where they're buying buy it okay it's been a week later and this area right here uh got fertilized well the whole lawn got fertilized after I stepped on it um and I have noticed that it's gotten a little bit Greener and it's a little bit thicker in this area so if we walk over here I can definitely tell that this is much much thicker um than before I did the lawn aeration it's a little bit softer so I'm going to step on the lawn again with the aerator shoes um a couple more times before the hot summer comes but um yeah I definitely think it has made an improvement and you can see down there I did it over there definitely made a big Improvement down there for sure so this soil was definitely had rocks kind of near the surface and it just had a lot of compacted soil and it was really really bad so I definitely think that the shoes helped out tremendously and I can also tell that the soil was able to take in the fertilizer whereas before you would just see long strips of dark green and then light green and the dark green is where the soil was actually able to take in the fertilizer and then the light green slash yellow was where there was no fertilizer that went in it just kind of rolled over and did not absorb so compacted soil is really bad [Music] if you enjoyed this video if you did definitely click

while I was walking I actually found a rock over here in the grass it was on the surface so I was able to pick it up but it was definitely covered with grass and a little bit of soil so I can imagine if your yard had large rocks bars stay right there had large rocks then you would be able to use this and get right down into the ground and dig out that rock so that was something I found while I was doing the walking of the lawn is that there's a lot of surface rocks
