Floor Mat wearing out

I've had my Cayman for about 5 months and have driven it for about 9000 miles. The driver's side floor mat is already worn out where I put my heels. I can't figure out why this mat is wearing out so fast. The car gets vacuumed every two weeks. I wear tennis/boat shoes 75% of the time. Anybody has had the same problem? Is is covered under the warranty?

I just ordered the black Rennline track mats. That way I don't ruin my $400 mats! Track Mat - Passenger Side-Rennline, Inc.

i've had my car for about 7-1/2 months (4600 miles) and i've notice that the area around the dead pedal is beginning to wear prematurely.

23,000 miles and little to no wear on the mats (black mats w/ a stone grey interior)

You need to wear shorter heels less than 3 inch. Still cheaper to replace the mats than the carpet though.

Don't wear High Heels / Stiletto Heels so much...........

I bought some used track mats from E-bay and they work great. I am saving my original mats for now.

My front trunk material showed wear spots after 1,200 miles of carrying suitcases following factory delivery but the cocoa mats look like new at 7,000+. Have posted before how careful I am to avoid seat bolster wear due to entering/exiting. Maybe that's when some of your mat wear is happening.

Related and unimportant thought. Does the chromed bezel around your ignition key slot look scratched and crappy due to repeated hasty insertions? Not mine. I'm careful about that too.

I have black interior and noticed that the black floor mats can stain the heel of my light colored shoes - never had this happen in any other car, so not sure if this speaks to the quality of those mats or not.

isn't the metal slippery when wet ? Jeff

They just came in yesterday. Here's a quick photo. The texture is rough, I think that they are powder coated...very nice. The silver mats may be smooth, you'd have to check with Rennline. View attachment 3968

I just realized I have the same problem. The heels of all my shoes are stained black. Dang. Thinking of getting new mats. Anyone purchased black Lloyd mats? Does it have the same problem?

Is there anything on the bottom to hold them in place or anchor them to the carpeting?

My right heel has worn away all the pile from the floor mat by the gas pedal. (In the area shown compacted in PistolPete13's photo above). I'll have a heel pad sewn on at an auto upholstery store. It's either that or replace the mat every year or so. (I think the way I rotate my foot from gas to brake might be causing the problem.)

18,000 miles on my matts. They're in pretty good shape.

I've been using the Lloyd Rubbertite mat in black for over 3 years now, with no fit issues or other problems; no symptoms of wear yet. The Rubbertite mats catch and hold water/mud/coffee very well.

Try driving shoes with a rounded heel.

I wish someone would sell driver-side mats alone. My passenger-side mat gets hardly any wear.

I got Coco Mats from cocomats.com They are great. Black with red spots to match my Guards Red CS. They will never wear out.

+1 on Coco mats. They wear like iron, won't slip, reasonably priced, never look dirty. The people at Cocomats.com will make anything you want. Just send them a craft paper pattern.

Just to be clear, Cocomats.com has a huge number of stock patterns, including for Cayman both with and without Bose . The comment above is if you want something special, like a mat for the front trunk (for which they now have a pattern)

I had the same problem. I replaced the mats with Rennline track mats since I track the car once a month.

Does anyone have this diamond mat? It comes in polished metal finish and anodized black. Which color do you guys think is nicer? Found it on ebay and cost only half as much as the rennline mat. Please give comment for those who have it. Thanks
