Having lived both in homes with concrete floors and homes with raised wood floors supported on beams I have found little difference in how my feet, knees, and so on feel. Currently, at age 72, I have homes with both concrete and raised wood floors and do not notice any difference when I walk around, usually in my stocking feet.

Most of the folks I have known who find concrete flooring uncomfortable are substantially overweight and/or have other health issues which make them particularly sensitive to the surfaces upon which they walk.

I agree with a prior poster. If a person wears proper foot gear the type of flooring in the home should not matter.
