Your local service center should be able to order them straight from Apple for you. If they order them in bulk, you'll get better prices.

If you go to a Genius Bar, some genii will just glue some feet on your PB for free...if you're nice enough.
It's just an ordinary day and it's all your
state of mind, at the end of the day, you
just gotta say it's alright!

Depending on a) the age of your PB -- ie. less than a year and thus still under warranty -- or b) whether you have AppleCare if it's past the one-year mark, you should be able to get your little feet from Apple itself. That's how I got mine -- and actually it was within the one year, but I was ordering AppleCare at the time. They just sent me some, for free, I might add.

I just ordered some 3 days ago. They are a bit costly, but they are perfect.

I simply went into my local apple store and they handed me a few, and told me to bring my powerbook in if those didn't do the trick.

Seems like a better choice than $20.00 replacement feet.

2nd this, this is how i got mine, absolutely free, they also say that it involves some sort of glue that needs to set, and they are experienced in replacing the feet. everyone knows, feet are the one thing that no one can master, and it would be ridiculous if they werent free.

One of my coworkers ordered a set of those for his powerbook, and they wore out after about 3 months. They were almost the consistancy of a pencil eraser. The Apple ones are much higher quality IMHO. I would try the Genius Bar route, and get the Apple ones.
