They Work, but read reviews first
EXACTLY as advertised!
I could have rated them 5 stars,..
I'm not a golfer and didn't play football during my youth.
Therefore, I wasn't prepared for the nuances of having spikes under my boots.
You can't wear them on pavement and even though the straps are convenient,
putting them on and taking them off is a task - for a 68 year old.
So, after wearing them while mowing my front yard, I wanted to continue
by doing between the sidewalk and street. It's a nice sidewalk, smooth and WIDE.
I wasn't sure I could step over it without falling, so I crawled across on hands and knees.
A neighbor was concerned that I was having a health problem and called out to find out.
I replied "No, the only problem at this time is mental illness." And showed her the spikes.
Since I've only worn them once and haven't mowed the back yard, which is larger,
they may prove to require too much energy to walk and mow at the same time.
I'm confident I could wear them and walk my yards without mowing easily.
The soil is sandy here, so the spikes easily penetrate.
Might help that I weigh 230 pounds ...
I WOULD buy them again and will recommend them to fellow Floridians.
