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.

Mine are brand new now....but from experience, all hinges can leave a black residue unless properly cared for. As the hinges rub with use, graphite (black stuff) rubs off. You must lubricate the hinges periodically. I use a silicone spray or WD40. Use a rag below the hinge as you spray, to keep the dripping off your flooring. Good luck!

No, I've used the non scratch sponges on them and it's been fine (even with some baking soda on it), however, I have noticed that Lemon juice clouds them and I can't seem to get that mark off.

I have only taken the clear ones out to try them on so they had all the original packaging still on them. I am agreeing with Joshua that there are no marks other than the name and Taiwan. The packaging has no useful information on it either, just UV ratings.

They aren't scratches. Its just lighter color streaks in an attempt to make it look aged. Mine aren't as bright as the ones in the picture, its less noticeable probably because its in my dark cold basement.

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

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 - I believe the arms are non-marking. I do not see any marks on the table, etc. The arms feel like they are made out of a very strong sturdy rubber material with some cushion - comfortable.

Mine were the same way, I hung them outside, wiped them down with all kinds of stuff! It seems finally after several months it has dissipated some and is not as strong as it once was. I use them about 4 times a week in a kickboxing class, so I guess it finally rubbed off or something! Not really sure! the last thing I tried was putting baking soda in a coffee filter and placing inside, that was to help with sweat odor, so that may have helped as well! Not really sure what would work the best!

Have had mine about three months now, have never slipped on me. I have cut up just about everything on them. Chicken, ham. roast, all kinds of veggies, no cuts in mat themselves, unless they 'healed' as they said they would. I do not dishwasher clean. I always us hot water and soap, rinse well and then I stand up between my drain board, and side of sink which keeps them straight. Would definitely would recommend.

To the best of my knowledge, No. I only have used them once this year, but they worked amazing, and I did not notice any marks

Mine does! I haven't had any of those things leave marks on it- looks the same as the day I bought it. I think it was a great deal, and as long as you keep your bathroom relatively clean you shouldn't have a problem. :)

The wheels did not leave black marks on wood flooring. However, if you wheel through dirt it will bring some inside just like the bottom of your shoes.

The markings on mine have not worn off and I use them on a daily bases. I really like them and I wouldn't trade them in!

They didn't leave any marks on my floors, but they are tile. My daughters house has wood and there were no marks on her wood either when I went there even after coming in from outside. Didn't leave marks on the carpet either.

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!

Hey, I would recommend non marking sole tekkies. The carpet gliders is not recommended for concrete.
