Keep it like that or else the stands will wobble all over the place. If you still fancy wooden feet, pop down to Homebase or B & Q and buy a pack of cupboard handles.

Suspended floor or concrete?
I have a suspended floor with a huge cellar underneath and found that putting the speakers (or stands) on concrete paving slabs (I painted them black for domestic harmony) had a positive effect on the sound. Others have used isolation foam underneath marble slabs or paving-type slabs to good effect - Auralex do this kind of product IIRC.
