Metal doesn't give you splinters if it's worn down too much or beaten up... but wood is cheaper. Anyone try plastic at all?

Lots of teams use blue nitrile tread (I think McMaster carries it), though others prefer roughtop or wedgetop tread (not sure on where to get those). A little suggestion: use CD's search feature, looking for "blue nitrile tread", and you should find some websites.
