The carpets in my house need changing however i am wondering if a hard flooring wood/viynl would be better. I know the carpet makes my bad leg drag & subsequently the leg gets stiff, sore & i struggle walking some days. What does everyone else have. Any advice .
I’ll be watching replies with interest. If there’s a type of flooring that I can’t trip over on, I haven’t found it yet,

I haven’t changed my mind since your last post, but appreciate it’s a big decision and hope you get some more opinions.

We have wooden flooring downstairs in our house. It must be good as I don’t notice my foot dragging, it really just slides over the floor. If I go outside I really find the uneven paths hard work.

Hi Redbabe
I have wood floors but use a wheelchair so it’s easier to keep clean.

I’ve got rid of all the carpet downstairs in my house, and put vinyl Down. It looks like floorboards, but it has the beauty of being Nice and slidey so when I did walk and had trouble with footdrop it was great to slide on. Now that I am in a wheelchair full-time it makes it much easier to get around without carpets, and also means that when my wheels are wet or muddy it’s a doddle to clean the floor.
