Just as a heads up for those of you that may be a little lost, the units of durometer measure the hardness of a material. Hence, something with a durometer rating of 90 will be a hard rubber, as opposed to something in the 30 range which will be much softer. As you go lower, the strength of rubber typically becomes lower as well. Something in the 15 range might be too soft to use as a traction aid.

As a general rule of thumb, you can assume things with a lower durometer generally will have better contact and higher friction with the carpeting.

That's that!
