This Eames Eiffel Tower base foot design is very close to the original. There are similar ones for sale but they are very expensive.

After making a number of just plastic designs I finally settled on this version which uses easily available "Nail On Glides" and 3D printed inserts using Flexible PLA Filament.
I did this around 6 years ago when I had a very basic printer and no experience printing. I had some Ninjaflex filament which is what I used. The flexible insert is not as firm as the original Eames Eiffel feet / glides. However they are still working perfectly after all this time.

The Nail On Glides I used were from the Shepherd company. As you can see from the photo attached the diameter is 1 1/16 inch in diameter. I was not able to find this size now but you should be able to find them with a search. I did find this brand:
