Should I decouple my subs too?

Good day all. I am looking into some ISO Acoustics GAIA footers for my speakers. I was going to get them for all the speakers including the subs but I just got off the phone with the REL guy and he said NOT to put footers on the subs as they perform better coupled to the floor. Is there any one who has tried both ways as I thought the subs should get the footers too. Thanks for your input

I put my sub on Townshend Bars.-Mostly due to them being on the same Sound Anchor stand as my monoblocks.

John Rutan and Samir of Audioconnection set them up, and the seem to work as they should. I had my older subs sit directly on the stands prior to my upgrade, but they weren't dialed in like my new subs, so I can't really compare the two.
My advice is to try both ways. Though I have a feeling you will like having them on isolation. I say that because everything I have put on Townshend Platforms/Bars/Pods seem to 'tighten the bass' and add 'clarity/definition' to the sound output.
