I have a couple of barstools and a recently refurbished hardwood floor and I suspect that they might not get along.
Any ideas on things I could fix to the bottom of these feet or other solutions?

if you laid it over existing flooring ie an original hardwood or laminate floor, i think that is where your problems start. Usually floating floors are installed on a subfloor(plywood) and there is typically some kind of underlayment. Unfortunately I am thinking you ar going to need to pull everything up and start over.

Step by step to help you out. Depending on where you got your flooring, you may be able to get help there too.
Also, usually floating floors are Engineered(laminate) and not solid hardwood. If your trully have a solid hardwood, then you have laid it wrong entirely.
You should consider doing something mosaic-y there because the size difference will always prevent you from putting in a milled transition piece.
If you try to install something that looks perfect, it will always look imperfect. But if you go with something that is intentionally imperfect, it will look intentional.

I don't believe there is a simple way. I'd epoxy glue a shaped wooden insert into the hollow part of the leg and then use a normal hammer in chair glide/slider. The glides/sliders with a heavy felt insert are good for wooden floors.
