Hi Danny, sorry about your floor problem, I am too much a newbie to help you there.
Your foot problem however I do know something about. Don't buy Brooks shoes. I had a problem with a foot and saw a specialist. He looked at my foot and gave me three choices. a) Cortisone shot b) exploratory surgery c) Stop buying brooks shoes and get something better. I chose "c" I went and got a pair of Nike Air Max in as normal colours as possible and within two weeks the problem was solved. The Nike shoes don't last past 6 to 7 months of steady use, but they make my feet feel great. You can get them with elasticized tongue (my fave and they slip on off quick, like slippers) or the regular tongue. I have tried New Balance, Reebok, and Adidas and they didn't work for me as my foot is slightly wider than their style. I also wear the Columbia Birke trail hiking shoe from Famous footwear, a great 6 - 12 month shoe.
Sorry to get off topic.
I hope you find a quick / cheap solution to floor problem.

Thanks Dan. I bought the Brooks and I'm trying to wear them (I'm not a tennis shoe guy). They're better than my thick, heavy boots but the jury is still out on them. I will keep your advice in mind as I try to get this issue fixed. For the soft floor I bought an insulated mat to go under the dehumidifier because we've about decided it's the heat from the unit in the cold weather causing the floor to heat up and condense underneath. I'll pull the bottom off when we get back to see what I can see or if I'm just hallucinating.
