Wouldn’t your feet slide all over especially if it’s wet outside?

Not esthetically pleasing, IMO.

I have no idea as to durability, but, one could think how well the seats would stand up if you walked and stood on them every time you drove the car? Same situation, I'm thinking.

I'd be interested in seeing the opinions of owners after 50,000 miles or more.

Not a fan, and think they'd not be a good choice for a car used daily - getting wet and slipping on them wouldn't be good and think they'd scar and abrade with dirt on the shoes...

Those are kinda cool. I like that you can change the color of the border. These are more for a car like a Bentley- not a Vette.

They look like they're a little "skimpy" when it comes to complete to-the-edge floor coverage. I'll stick with my Lloyd's LUXE mats.

What about these?

Who needs a quality leather to rub your dirty shoes over day in and day out. Screwy product if you ask me.

Me too.

I am just not sure how well the leather would hold up over time.

They would be nice for a show car. Otherwise they would always look scuffed and dirty.

Not the look I’m after, but to each their own tastes.

I bet they hold up a lot better than carpet and if they get abraded they can be polished with shoe polish. Not my thing but I bet they'd work great.
