Assuming you are referring to the Weathertech DigitalFits (http://www.weathertech.com/product-e...er-digitalfit/), they aren't rubber, but some sort of rigid plastic. I usually drive with rubber soled shoes, the heels of which don't seem to slide around or squeak when the mats get wet. A heavy accumulation of dry sand/dirt can act a little like ball bearings but I usually have dumped them out before that happens. This is the third car I've installed Weathertechs in. Worth every penny.

Weathertech also makes a line of conventional floor mats out of a pliable resin (http://www.weathertech.com/product-e...s-all-weather/), which are very nice and don't squeak, but they do not have the "up the side" coverage of the DigitalFits.
