I have oak floors. Nail heads come up, I push them down, and they come up

I won't even ask why they come up, but just how do I keep them from doing
it.

Pull them and put in larger nails (thicker, longer?)? Some sort of glue?
Move?


You have face-nailed oak floors? Odd. Replace the nails that are
coming up with spiral-shank nails. That should keep them from coming
out again.
