    Good, supportive footwear is always a plus, but yes, surface matters when standing for long periods of time. My shoes are comfortable and I have most of my shop floor covered with anti-fatigue mats which helps a lot. But I'd love to have a wood/wood-product floor to make things even more comfortable.

    3/4" T&G unfinished over sleepers is what I did 27 years ago and have had absolutely no delamination or any other detrimental results. Floor is comfortable and it doesn't matter when a little epoxy or beer spills on it. I did exert extra effort to make sure it was dead level as I need to have my toys and shop cabinets as coplanar as possible to maximize space and efficiency.

    I have 3/4 OSB over 3/4 rigid foamular 250, on top of a concrete floor. I don't move machines often, but some of them are quite heavy: Felder K700S pro and Moak 26" band saw for two. It's worked well. I thought about a prettier floor, but find I never actually look at it. Not that it is alway that clean anyway.

    Did you use any kind of sleeper?...or just lay it over the foam? Glue in the T&G joints?
