I don't know what they're called... I asked the guy at Home Depot and he lead me to the doormats - which I don't want. Basically they're rubber mats one stands on to comfort his stance and provide traction on a porentially slippery surface. I have seen them laid out on wood planks on scaffolds. Where would I find these? I looked in HD's ladder area, but came up empty.
Rubber Padded Mats?

are you talking about anti-fatigue mats or stuff just for traction?
Jason The place where you made your stand never mattered, only that you were there... and still on your feet

If they supply hospitals it means that you will be paying at least 3 times the price of an equal quality product. Wholesalers/retailers to the medical and scientific industry always price items at a huge mark up.
The ones I saw were both. Maybe three feet by four feet - half an inch in thickness and padded. They kept my from slipping and gave me some padding to stand for hours.

Not sure where you'd be able to buy one, though. They mainly supply factories, hospitals and such.
I tried Sams' Lowe's and Home Depot - nothing.
I found traction mats full of holes and all sorts of kickass patterns, but thats no good for me. Bare feet are going to be on this thing - thats the problem. They're going to be standing on this thing for a long time in bare feet. Crap... I'm screwed.

You can ask for anti-fatique mats-- but you're more likely to score with 'those rubber mats that fit together like puzzle pieces'.
Locally- near Albany, NY- our Sam's and Lowe's both carry them. In Sam's they're near the tools- and in one Lowe's they are in the seasonal aisle.
