What felt pads work for chairs?

[dancingirl21]

Super exciting thread, haha.

We had new hardwood floors put in the beginning of this year. I've noticed about 4 small chips so far. Some in places where we have our dining room chairs. We have the sticky felt pads on the bottom but they seem to move and fall off all.the.time. I am constantly sticking them back on. 

I know there are the ones you can nail into the bottom of your chair, but I read on some Amazon reviews that the nail part was popping through the felt and then scratching the hell out of people's floors. 

So...any suggestions for some that will stay on for more than a few days and not scratch my floors?

Ooops, definitely the wrong board. I'll leave here in case anyone has suggestions. My bad!

These are the ones that I have and they work great. No nail sticking out to scratch and no sliding around like the stick-on kind. I replace them once a year or so.

We use chair socks from Amazon
You can wash them...

we have the sleeve kind (like this) - they're semi ugly but seem to stay the best w/the least effort:

Hah, it's MM to want to keep your floors unscratched!

We use the X-Protector brand and replace them every 6 months.

I have never heard of a chair sock! Now I need to order some.

All my chairs have chair socks. Each chair has a pair to wash and a pair to wear. We don't like carpet, so only have small throw type rugs that can be washed, so chair socks it is!

No tips (sorry) but thanks for posting. I didn’t realize replacing them semi regularly was a “thing” and that chair socks existed. The more you know!

I'm seconding these!  Stick on/nail on felt pads all fall off/wear out quickly, and I tried chair socks too. The fabric socks kind of work for awhile, but mine wore out and were always slipping off.  The type linked above are great!!  Mine are still going strong after a couple of years.
