My husband bought some at Sam's Club for $35, they are heavy duty. They fit well but I had to remove the driver's side mat because I take my shoes off when I drive (it's Hawaii, okay?) and the deep ridges in the mat actually hurt my feet.
Hehe...
I thought it was illegal to drive barefoot. Is that just a myth?
I'm sure Hawaii couldn't have such a law! I started taking my shoes off while driving a few months after I moved here, when my big fat terrycloth beach slipper, popular in the early 80's, got caught between the gas pedal and the brake pedal and I ran into the car in front of me!
I googled it and all the links I've checked say it is not illegal to drive barefoot. Why would it be illegal - I can feel the location of the pedals better. My shoes are right next to me though, in case I ever did get stopped and had to get out of the car. I simply slip them off when I drive.
Anyway the whole point of my original reply was that the allweather mats my husband bought at Sam's Club are really thick and the ridges are deep. I actually think they'd look better in a truck than in my gorgeous new car.
Typically the deep ridges are for snow and mud to drop off your shoes into the groove which can then hold about a quart of slush, and the ridges keep your shoes up and away. For warn climates I'm surprised someone does not specialize in a mat that keeps water and sand out of the carpet without the heavy ridges, simply need a lip around the edge.
Some Husky mats are sort of like that but are rigid and I never liked the fit. I believe I'd get a sisal mat for Hawaii and the southern US (or just stick to the carpet OEM's and throw them away when they get too dirty to clean.
