Park crews don protective footwear to mow grass safely
Thanks to a recent donation of footwear from LawnGrips LLC, Mow-Ron volunteers can trim grass in New Orleans’ City Park with enhanced safety and comfort. The Mow-Ron volunteer organization helps maintain the privately funded City Park, which does not have a sufficient budget to hire a landscaping crew for mowing the grounds and removing weeds. LawnGrips footwear contains a Grip-N-Go outsole that enhances forward and lateral traction, even on wet grass. Built-in cleats and pivot points are slightly rounded to shed grass clippings and dirt. Also equipped with a steel shank; composite insole board with polyurethane midsole for support; and water- and stain-resistant leather uppers. Available in styles for men and women, such as slip-on models, 6-in. lace-up versions and clogs. LawnGrips LLC, Lake Oswego, Ore.
