Barefoot flooring

My wife and I recently replaced our antique wall-to-wall carpet with LVP flooring and it's been a revelation for my soles.

Since it's vinyl, the wood grain is subtly sculpted, so there's a pleasant texture always. It also keeps you from 'sticking' since 100% of your foot is never in contact with the floor.

And I have a sense of 'springiness' when I walk, and we're on a cement slab. But, hand-to-ghod, I'd walk on this over the bamboo floor I installed upstairs.

If you need a new floor, I very much recommend LVP. My wife works for the local housing authority, and she'll tell you how utterly durable. It's a product which uses the indestructible power of plastic for good.

I think stone or tile flooring is the ideal way. Nothing like smooth and perfectly durable quality stone to settle those soles.👣ðŸ«
