Heel Wear Pad f/ Floor mats
I have an 05 6MT. I am getting ready to order me up some new floor mats. Not because they are dirty, they are very clean, but I have worn a hole in them with my heel.
With a new set of mats, I would like to find some sort of floor mat wear pad to protect the mat in that area. I have seen floor mats to come with a heel pad sowed or glued to the mat, but I am looking for aftermarket options to apply to OEM mats.
Or does anyone have a better solution with a different aftermarket mat?
Thank you,

you should get you some all season mats, dont think you could wear out that rubber. coincidentally i have some for sale. if youre gettin new mats ill buy your rear mats from you if theyre black
Better shoes. I try to only drive with driving shoes. Becuase of the rolling heel design they tend to be more forgiving to the mat. I'm on my original and have 74,000 miles on my 05.

All season mats are out of the question. Butt ugly. I want quality carpet. I am just looking for a wear pad that can be applied to the mat.
Different shoes, while a good idea are not practical. My car is a daily driver, and I wear a variety of dress shoes to work, unfortunately they are probably very hard on the mats.

I wear a suit and tie to work with Pilotti's 
. I change in my office in the morning to dress shoes and change back when heading home. The Pilotti's are slip on and could be slipped on in the car.

Driving shoes? Lets be serious here, we are daily driving a car. We arent racing a ferrari's on a track. You can afford that .0003 of a second slip when pushing in the clutch.
This just seems extreme. Its a car, its meant to be driven.

In one respect I think if you cvan affort a G. You should be able to afford new mats when you need them. But in another respect they are pretty exspensive for the quality you get. I went through 2 sets in my QX56 already.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I said driving, not racing. In addition, with a 54 mile commute i want to be coomfortable. A clutch pedal and dress shoes don't mix well and the cost of the dress shoes is another consideration. I offered a solution, you offer a jab. My original mat's look great - read no heel spot wear - after 74,000 miles. My way works.
