I sold some here for a friend. I think he got them from a mailorder catalogue.

I want some too, was thinking i could possibly make some with wood and long nails!

I don't see why not, because all they were was a solid plastic type sole and they strapped on to your shoes. The prongs were set in the soles, so if you glued a piece of something over the heads you would be right. Good luck.

Just use a garden fork ,works really well and wont cause ankle strain.

Yes I wondered about making them, think would need fairly strong nails or they would just bend especially if they hit a stone.A packet of Ramset nails would be good.Agree a garden fork could be better if you apply some side leverage before lifting but takes a while to do a whole lawn.
I see they are available on eBay but postage is high.
Yeah ta.Higher purchase price but loads cheaper delivery $2.50.Good show.

Go easy with this, I made some and they actually worked well, but the motion of stamping and pulling stuffed my knee and needed surgery!

I have some but they are very very hard to use on compact ground (as per above).I use our heavy concrete demolition bar and it is much more effective (ha ha, can list the 'aerating shoes'.).

LOL I used to import them. Fairgo had a go at them and then declared them perfect for the job. I have not been importing garden tools for a number of years but if I did start again they would be on the list.
