Protective Heel Pads

[bcj]

I went with WeatherTech.
The carpets still look minty underneath when I pull them to pour out the grit.

Great. Take pictures!

I've only had mine a month and that area is already pretty worn down. Don't have 1,000 miles on it yet.

I've seen these http://www.heelpadwarehouse.com/heel-pads/ and they are really cheap but they want you to use 3M hi-strength 90 adhesive (I think spray on). I don't want that messing up my carpet down the line either.

So what is everyone else using for their babies?

Thanks I just ordered one.

I'm still shocked that there is a "Heel Pad Warehouse".

Damn the 21st century is weird.

I just had to look that up:

Merikans.


Inhabitants of The United States of America. Typically uneducated and/or ignorant, they tend to have conservative political stances, speak only American English (no foreign languages), tend to only live and travel exclusively inside the United States, have strict religious ethical codes and practices, and rarely understand or mingle with people of other cultures, races, or ethnicities. Merikans are often disliked by citizens of other Nations and tend to be parodied in foreign television, movies, or other media. They tend to also be disliked by many other Americans.

"Wees Merikans is ignant."

Jeeze, you can't be that poor since you own a Twin.

jk, I want driving shoes also but don't want to shell out money for a good pair. I get envious when I see the Porsche and Vette owners in my driving group wearing those...

Here's a cheap alternative DIY that looks good and if you buy the gear required you can re-do over and over

I now use this. Put sticky Velcro on underside of it rather than bolting it through

Weathertech - I've had them for 3 years - they're looking good still

[xmadror]

Weathertech too for me, all year long. It was the 1st thing I bough for my BRZ.
Not cheap but they look and fit great!

Get some of the "motor sport" style Pumas. Cheap and actually fairly good.
They're obviously not "race track" shoes but have great feel and the heel makes it more comfortable as well.
