Not exactly... If I remember aright, the "floors" in Skylab were an open, triangulat gridwork, around 2" on a side. The boots had triangular wedges that fit into the openings in the grid, so you could sort of "plug yourself in" to the deck. In any of three orientations, since they were equilateral triangles.
