How much give does a hardwood floor have vs concrete? Thousandths of an inch, hundredths at most? But look at the available cushioning on good athletic shoes. I suppose if you have a pair of well worn very firm sole shoes or boots, they would be much more uncomfortable on concrete compared to a tennis style shoe with a rubber sole and good insoles. How about trying a good set of Dr. Scholls insoles before changing out your entire shop floor?
