The Pains of Printing

When I'm on a busy printing schedule, I start to notice a recurring phenomenon... tired legs and sore feet. Now I'm really sounding old!
Ever since we moved into our current studio space with concrete floors, I have been dreaming of getting these anti-fatigue, chef's gel mats to place in front of the presses. I've stood on them at a relatives house and it feels like walking on a cloud. The only downfall is that the major brand of these starts at 100 bucks, a little steep considering I'd like to get about 3 of these.
Does anyone know of a comparable product that's a bit cheaper? I'd love to know if that exists!

just check out google shopping, ect.  You just need to be cool with getting ones a little less fancy.  You could also call / check out property disposition ( U of M) to see if they have any. You need them that floor is harsh!

I’ve seen the fancy name brand GelPro at Costco for $60 or $70 (okay, fine, not just seen but purchased).

Lee Valley probably has the best deal with their own mats, $34.50 at http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=32099&cat=1,43456,43465
