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.

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.

I keep them ready for all service workers coming in to my home. I have some that work outside first and have all mud on their shoes and thought they could now walk inside.They are very durable and do not rip. They keep in all dirt/mud and I ask them to remove them out the front door and then I dispose of them.I think they will work well for you.

I've had mine for over a year and I do not see any scratches on them. I don't have small children so I don't know if that would be an issue or not. I hope that helps!

I haven't had that experience with them. I've walked on lots of concrete surfaces with no damage done at all. Hope that helps!

we have old school parkay wood floors and very heavy pot/plants and they ahve not left a mark on them, but I think it might depend on the type of wood you have. There are small rubber 'feet' at the ends of each leg, that I think helps as well.

Yes. As long as you buy the clear coating that protects them from staining. My moms are nice but she didn't bye the stain resistant clear coat. So she's buying a new pare. Just make sure you take good care of them. They look so real and nice. DON'T drink coffee with them in.

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.

Paula, I have never before heard this issue raised, but I appreciate the information. If that spot is scratch-prone, we can let future customers know to be mindful of this and take extra precaution. Thanks so much. Sincerely, JR Hill Goedekers.com

I don't think so. Mine have been installed over white carpet for several months now and they haven't left a mark. They've even gotten wet a few times (dog pee, water, milk) and they didn't stain.

No marks on wooden floors. Not sure what kind of marks would be left on carpet. Depends on the nap of the carpet, then it's just a matter of running the vacuum over it to bring it back up. I use it mainly for shopping and long walks/rides. So it isn't an issue for me

Mine have never left black marks, it's possible it is the pair of legs that came with your trampoline. Maybe you can ask if they can be replaced.

I have light floors in the kitchen, but have seen none of the marks like shoe heels sometimes leave. My only caution is that you put them firmly down flat on wet surfaces, because if you set the tip on its edge, it will slip. I just bought a second set as I was so happy with them.

I have been using them directly on my wood floor and had no trace and no sign of damage on my floor. Just wanted to share this experience.

No they do not leave any marks. If they are wet from being outside, they may leave a little water, which wipes easily, but no marks. I have been on crutches on & off for years, these are the safest way to walk in the rain on crutches, canes or walkers.

I haven't had any problems with them thus far. The black plastic on the front isn't really like "rubbery" material that could scuff but more of a hard plastic and shouldn't scuff.

I haven't encountered any problems with the pads, the orange part is slightly soft. However I've only done one job with new hardwoods, every other time I've been on old scuffed floors. Obviously watch out for stuff like drywall mud or mortar which will make your pads more prone to scratch, I know I've had to clean up mine.
