Anti-Fatigue Floor Mats

[hermit]

I've got several mats on my basement shop floor. In retrospect, rather than buying several, I'd buy a small mat, cut out shoe-shaped pieces, and glue them on my shop boots ...

Interesting idea, Wonder if it would work?

I actually did see this as a shop idea submitted by someone in one of the wwing mags a while back.

That is pretty much what an insole insert is right?

Yeah, but they don't work so well on my concrete floor after a full day.

Rockler has theirs on 50% off $9.99 for 2'x4', not bad it seems based on the other posts here.

I was over at costco, and saw the mats there. they are selling (8) 2 x 2 ft mats for 11.99. the item number is 122975. call them before you go and give them that item number and see if they have any in stock.

Sears also sells a similar pack in the hardware area but with 6x 2'x2' panels and edging. Normally $19.99, but like the other mat mentioned above they seem to go on sale for 1/2 price a few times per year. I don't have any of the HF mats to compare.

I have most of my basement shop floor covered w these HF mats and have been very pleased. You appreciate them @ the end of a long day in the shop esp if you have bad knees or back. Its a good product IMHO. Normally, I think they are about $12/pack.

I bought several packs of these a few months ago when they were on sale for $5.99. I was in HF over the weekend, and it looks like they now have two edge pieces per square. Previously, they didn't include edges.

I have no complaints; I appreciate the foot comfort.

One caution, though, is that they have an interlock pattern that may not match similar mats sold in other stores. I found that out the hard way.

I bought some of these really cheap from a PepBoys auto parts place. I don't remember the price but if you've got one nearby it might be worth checking out.

Just an FYI,
I've found some nice mats at Sears in the exercise equipment department. They are 3 ft x 6ft and run $30 which is expensive, but you can find them on sale occassionally. I got them for $14.99 this weekend. They are mats for EQUIPMENT, but work well in front of the workbench, since they are 6ft long.
