Wood – Furniture pads for furniture legs…always comes off, how to remedy this

furniturehardwood-floor

I don't want to scratch my wooden floors so I'm using adhesive felt pads (circular ones) for chair legs, sofa legs, etc.

HOWEVER, they all seem to start to slide off and eventually need to be replaced.

Is there a better way to apply them or to permanently attach them?

I can probably take a small nail and nail them to the bottom of the legs, but then I'm concerned that eventually the pads will wear down and the nail heads will scratch the floor.

Are there other products out there that are more permanent? I've seen the plastic feet with a pin, but I would prefer something softer as I think that the plastic will scratch the floors.

There are nail-on glides that have a carpet bottom.

They also come in a swivel version in case your legs have a significant angle.
