What floor mats do you use? Recommendations?

The floor mats I have now need to be replaced. I am looking at a few options such as WeatherTech and Markiplier, but have some concerns. I have read some good reviews about the WeatherTech and some bad, saying they are cheap rubber. Markiplier I have read they will bowl after a short while and that they move around and don't stay in one spot. I want something that will not move around when I sit down in the car and something all weather with a digital fit preferably. Any suggestions? What do you use?

There's always these -
Amazon Amazon
.

They supposedly redid them so the foot pad doesn't separate like it did in older versions.

Haha, funny you say that. I just ordered them like 30 minutes ago after not finding anything better on the internet.

I have a set of their updated mats (replaced last fall). I barely drive the car so hard to tell how long these will hold up and/or if indeed they did change the manufacturing process of the foot pad. I don't know if the weathertech ones are prone to this issue¿? If not, might be worth to pay a bit more and go with them from the get go.

I like the weathertech ones, but I don't like the giant weathertech logo on them. I went with the Maxpider ones for that reason.

Eh... Function over cosmetics (if they work and hold up).

I went with the maxpider because of price.

Do you like them? Have you had them for a while, are they holding up pretty well?

There's a lotta complaints on amazon about the foot area coming off. But I wonder how aggressive they are stepping on the mats. And another thing Jsolo, how's the smell on these mats? Does a rubber smell linger in the cabin? How about after a while?

Yes, please let me know Jsolo, I still have time to cancel the order.

Have been using these mats for about 2 weeks now.
No overpowering scent out of the packaging, extremely aesthetic, and have a very nice grip to them.

I cannot confirm the longevity though.

I don't recall having any smell.. I'm pretty sensitive to these things.. Had to return a recent cell phone case because it had this rubbery odor to it.

Holding up well, the last set, very lightly used barely lasted 3 yrs before wearing a hole through the foot pad (throttle pedal). Too early to tell if the replacements I got will last longer. I don't know what the going price is for the weathertech's these days.. If the difference is $10-20, I'd probably go with the weathertechs.

I don't think the issue is how hard one steps on the foot pad. I don't drive in heels.. In fact I've never even tried heels... That wouldn't be suitable for my gender . Rather, it's just a poor design in a high stress area. Heel part of the shoe is always pressing against this area.

FWIW, the logo is just a big sticker that you can just peel off. I know this cause my wife managed to do just that with her heels. I like how they look though and contacted them and they sent new ones for free.
