I'd use self-adhesive felt from an arts and crafts store.

Or just make your own with double-stick tape (the thin kind, not the foam) and some fabric. Cut it out before removing the backing.

Well, that may have to do it. thanks. I found a great place that makes mouse feet of plastic, but none with soft cloth/felt.

Suggestion: Use a hole punch to make both the cloth feet and the tape circles for them. That will make them uniform and everything will match.

Another suggestion: Stick the tape to the fabric, with the backing still attached, then punch through the whole thing with the hole punch.

UPdate:
I made my own with felt. Did not work. Called Wacom. It does not matter. Feet dont matter. The laser just does not work well with surface of a Wacom tablet.

Bummer.

I thought Tesseract's suggestion was great-I wish I'd have suggested it myself.

If you need new mouse feet, get teflon. They sell it in plates, it's not so expensive. Because of its low coefficient of restitution (extremely low), the mouse glides much better and it doesn't scratch anything.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Again, it's not a feet isssue. No mouse will track well without a pad on a wacom tablet:
