Will they scratch the floor?

Yaktrax are definitely meant for outdoor only use. The coils that provide traction will damage wood, vinyl and tile flooring.

Yes, you must be careful in putting these on before venturing outside. I always make it a point to sit on the step and put them on my running shoes to ensure I dont scratch up my wood floors, small price to pay when I get the traction needed to do my long runs in snow and ice conditions.

Better to be on carpet, otherwise you may scratch the flooring (also, carpet is softer in case the user falls).

I got these skates for my niece. When the weather is bad and they don't want to have to go out to the rink, my sister has let her use them in the house on the hardwood floor. So far they haven't noticed any scratching on the floor. I think though it may also depend on how the child skates in them and coloring of the hardwood floor. Theirs is a lighter color wood and possibly you just don't see the scratching if there is any compared to a dark wood floor.

Yes, they are well balanced and very stable. They have small rubber protectors, (2 on the bottom of each leg) and won't scratch the wood floor. Although, a small throw rug underneath might not be a bad idea in case of spillage.

I use mine on our hardwood floors and it hasn't scratched them yet. I always put it on the setting that your supposed to for them.

Not at all.... Do not where any fabric that will slightly scratch. If you do not plan to keep a tidy home and treat these items as a "sculptural piece of art" that you can sit on carefully. Do not buy them.

Yes, I believe they did scratch our wood floor when the chairs slid in and out from our island. However, I placed (inexpensive) pads on the bottom of all the legs/feet & that took care of it. I still love these chairs- although my kids are constantly swiveling back n forth when sitting in them, which nicks up the wood on the sides of the chairs (from our granite counter top). Wished I would have got non-swivel/stationary chairs.

I think you'd have to add padding to the bottom in order to prevent scratching your floors. Maybe a kitchen towel folded to fit.

I have these in my basement where we have stained concrete floors. The top coat of wax scratches very easily and these chairs haven't scratched that yet. So I wouldn't think they would scratch hardwoods.

They should not scratch. There are screw-in rubber leveling feet for the bottom of the legs of the chairs and table.

The corners are roughand yes, they will scratch hardwood floors if you do not have a mat or something similar under it. The rest if the frame is smooth.

If they are not being slid around they should not scratch. Be careful though they are really strong if you let it slam into the surface you would almost certainly get scratches.

Yes, because there wont be a tight bond between the surfaces, the scratch will show. Not terribly, but no less noticeable.

Not at all. I don't exactly have anything that would scratch them much. They do get quite dirty but once I wash them, they look like brand new again.

MY son uses it in our house on the wood floor and it doesn't scratch them. Of course he only weighs about 40 pounds.

Probably not. They have a carpet like surface for sliding on wood floors. They probably will not slide on Concrete because the surface is rough compared to a wood floor.
