This. Smartliner ftw
I don't like plush floormats in daily drivers or vehicles that get driven a lot. They are nice in luxury cars that the staff keeps clean. 
Rubber mats suck, too because debris invariable falls off the floormats. Floor liners, the tray-like ones by WeatherTech or Husky work for me. Just pop them out, pour out the sand, mud, leaves, and sea lice, hose them off, dry them off, and pop them back in after vacuuming the carpeting. A must is a locking mechanism because I can't stand floor liners that slip and slide.

I'm looking for more carpet mats.
I have the Kagu mats in all our vehicles. 3D also has carpeted all weather mats for some car models.
3dmatsusa.com
Thnx
I emailed them regarding my car and carpeted mats already. Appreciate it
I'm looking for carpeted mats, I am the staff that has to vacuum them out. Ha!I don't like plush floormats in daily drivers or vehicles that get driven a lot. They are nice in luxury cars that the staff keeps clean.
I have Kagu in 2 cars and WeatherTech in another the Kagu are much nicer, the WeatherTech doesnt live up to the hype IMO.
I have LONG felt WeatherTech is WAY over-rated. Never understood the hype.
For pickups and Jeeps I much prefer the thicker, stiffer Rugged Ridge and they're a fraction of the price.
I've also read stories of WeatherTech shirking their warranty when mats tear or otherwise fail, BUT that is NOT first hand experience and this is the internet, so.....

I just get OEM mats from eBay. There are at least 10 people selling new sealed OEM mats for any vehicle you need. Find the part number and search that way.
I don't like Weather Tech (though I do respect their quality and US based manufacturing) because having a non-carpeted, plastic (edit) mat puddles water which leaves wet soles and can be slippery on an epoxied garage floor. If you're in construction and carry a lot of mud, that's another story.

I will look into that now. Thanks
Tuxmats ... Do NOT confuse them with Tuck's Pads!
I purchased a set for the front of my Corolla from customcarmats.com
They are black leather with beige stitching.

No China-linah - WT works for me …
I'm about to order a set of TuxMat floor mats for my wife's new-to-us X5.
I found this review by Car and Driver of floor mats for cars, and was impressed by what they had to say about the TuxMat floor mats. I have a set of Husky mats in the Outback, and they are good. But after a few months of use, when cleaned up, they never look clean again. My friends that have WeatherTech mats say they look even worse.

Are they really leather? I bought a set of that style of Chinese made floor mats for my E350. They did look very nice, and they fit very well. But they were not that good of material, and after only a few months, they wore through. So they ended up in the trash.
My Bronco came with the Ford all-weather and they’re great. Heard the cargo mat is the best of the bunch too so I’ll probably get that from Ford as well.
They are fake leather. I hope they last longer than a few months. We shall see. Did you get your mats from carmatscustom.com also??
I have a back-up set of plush, thick custom carpet set from LLYOD's. I bought the second set because I wasn't sure I would ever get my set from China.
No. I bought mine from a seller on ebay. There was a bunch of ads on ebay for that style of custom floor mats. I picked one that had a high positive rating for the seller, and went with it. I often wondered if there are dozens of little shops in China that make these style of floor mats, or if all these dozens of ads all belong to a small handful of shops. Who knows. I don't
The driver's mat wore out where my heels rested on the floor mat. They had the reinforced pad, where the right foot would rest. But it still wore through. Perhaps you will have better luck.
