I am writing to see if one of you might have faced this problem and solved it
inexpensively. (My apologies in advance for using this forum as my personal
handyman).
We have a number of indoor and outdoor wrought iron furnture pieces that came with plastic "feet".
These feet are of two types - one type fits (inserts) into the round indentation at the bottom of the
furniture leg. The other type fits over the round flat metal "pad" at the bottom of the furniture
leg. The latter type is similar to the rubbery "shoe" one finds on the bottom of the adjustable
legs of a washing machine.
These plastic pads have all worn out from scaping on hard surfaces like tile
and concrete. I was hoping to solve the problem by finding just the right sized
bottle caps as substitutes. That idea didn't quite work out. I then contacted
mail order places and they seem to have some items, but they are kinda
expensive. I am hoping not to have to make my own. Anyone found an easy
solution? I hate the sound of metal scraping on concrete and tile.

I would suggest that if you want them to slide, get some of the slick
nylon doodads from the local hardware or home store intended for the
purpose. They have all sorts of sizes from small circles to bigger
rectangle shaped pads.
They have self sticky things but a bit of epoxy or maybe even PL Premium
should work if that does not.
If you don't want them to slide all that readily, then do the same sort
of thing with some rubber pads. Should be easier to find something to
make them out of. An old rubber mat or a mud flap or ???
