are these non-marking soles? I bought some Avia's before, and they left black marks all over the hospital floors for weeks when they were new.

Have worn this particular AVIA (A5020W) for nearly a decade, and I've never noticed it to mark floors. This is a higher quality AVIA than some of the others they make.

I have had no issues with them making black marks on the floors. I have had this shoe before and really liked the way they fit.

I haven't seen any black marks on the floors after I wear them, however I haven't worn them on hospital-type floors. I wear them out to walk on sidewalks and asphalt. They do have black, soft, rubbery material on the soles.

I've not had a problem with black marks from these shoes but I wear them primarily outside for running not inside on markable floors.

I have only used them on my treadmill and around the house but I have not experienced any marking issues.

My floors are concrete I would not know. What I do know is that I have had them for 2 years and have gotten some heavy use out of them and they still look as good as the day I got them. With good maintenance I have definitely gotten my dollars worth.

Mine are brand new now....but from experience, all hinges can leave a black residue unless properly cared for. As the hinges rub with use, graphite (black stuff) rubs off. You must lubricate the hinges periodically. I use a silicone spray or WD40. Use a rag below the hinge as you spray, to keep the dripping off your flooring. Good luck!

No, but that just sounds like a bad idea. It's like sandpaper on the bottom of your shoes. You'll end up scratching floors. They make specific products for leather soled shoes.

They are black plastic with little ridges on the bottom for grip. Not sure if they would leave marks. We just use them outside. Sorry I'm not much help. Like the chair...

No, I've used the non scratch sponges on them and it's been fine (even with some baking soda on it), however, I have noticed that Lemon juice clouds them and I can't seem to get that mark off.

How long have you them, my first pair that I bought else were are about 6 months old and have not discolored at all.the 2 other pair I have are 2 months old and are not discolored either. Is the skin torn? You my have a bad set if you got them from Amazon call them and let them know.

Sounds like they're defective. Mine have an attached insole (with a slight bit of cush at the heel), no plastic webbing.

I have not installed them yet, likely going to in a couple of weeks. My current bunks have wear marks where the carpet is ripped. I am planning on puttin the slicks at and before the wear marks. This seems to be the most visible places where my pontoons rub when loading.

Mine don't but....they do leave slight imprints where I've been standing but the imprints disappear almost immediately. But....I don't stand on mine for long periods of time - mostly washing/rinsing dishes.

no, but with continued use maybe. the small whees at the bottom start to shred over time (circa 3-6 months depending on your use pattern), and can get small particles stuck in them which can then scratch the floor. just be careful, keep them clean, consider replacing early.

They are a very hard rubber. They do not leave marks on the floors or carpets, however.

I just stumbled upon your question while looking for flatware to add to my wedding registry and this is the set my parents have. We had this same issue with the black marks on the butter from the serrated grooves and had no idea what was causing them for the longest time. There is actually nothing wrong with the knives, we found that if you use these knives to cut an avocado, sometimes the rind/skin remains in the grooves even after being washed in the dishwasher.

The tires are similar to those on roller blades, a somewhat soft rubber compound. The smoother the surface the better they perform. I haven't seen any problems with them leaving marks on the hardwood floors here.

The wheels did not leave black marks on wood flooring. However, if you wheel through dirt it will bring some inside just like the bottom of your shoes.

They are rubber- hard rubber--like training wheels. I have not seen it mark any surface. My mother has had hers for almost six months. My sister bought one for her mother-in-law for Christmas. I have arthritis and borrowed it from my mother to walk in Chicago in snow & cold. It never marked any floors in the hotel, stores, etc.

I have hardwood floors and the same concerns about scuffing. As with any chair or table, I always apply a felt stick on pad to the feet which can be found at any hardware or home goods store.
