Mats made for standing help too, of course.

I need to find some of those rubber, spongy mats. Those would be
nice to stand on at the bench. Even wearing comfortable sneakers,
those mats would be wonderful to stand on.

The harbor freight mats are not only good for standing on but for
kneeling on, for padding the sides of your vehicle when hauling
stuff, for padding between furniture when moving/storing, etc.

I cut them on my band saw into small sizes and odd shapes whenever I
need to protect/cushion something. I even have a piece attached to
the top of my cooler so that my dog can stand on it and look of out
the van window without sliding around. :-)

They ain't just for protecting your feet.


Yep! I use them for lying on underneath vehicle when doing repairs.
I use them for custom drum and electronics cases.
On work tables when sanding large objects to protect them and keep them
from sliding around while sanding.

They are kind of like rubber gloves or dust masks. Every time they're
on sale at a ridiculous price, I pick up another pack of them to rotate
into the collection. The old ones end up getting dirt and oil embedded
into them.

Speaking of ridiculous prices, HF has a coupon for their moving blankets
for 70% off which makes them 3 bucks each. Besides their obvious
purpose, they are great for throwing over the table saw or other large
surfaces when you need to mask from sanding/sawdust or paint.
