It is, thanks. It says that they will support a foot, but what if you
wheel a heavy suitcase across, do the wheels get supported or fall into
the gap? I'd have expected the force per unit area would be quite a lot
higher.


Spike heels would be higher pressure still. Looks like they would also
be susceptible to falling into the gaps between the "fingers".
