Im in the minority but I always toss the carpeted floor mats in the closet and solely use all weather mats because of my OCD. My LS had the nice tan mats and it stained over time and ever since then I always used all weather mats even with black interiors. I just take out the mats and hose them off especially with my kids and their food, dirt, etc that they drag in the car.

i have NO interest in carpeted mats, haha... the most rugged all weather or fitted mats for me please. then i can take 'em out once in a while, and pressure wash them, let dry, and put back. easy.

Personally I think carpeted mats are way easier to keep clean. You just give them a quick vacuum. Rubber mats have to be taken out and pressure washed, and let dry where carpet just needs to be vacuumed.
My other issue with rubber mats is they beat up my nice shoes, they always wear down a section of the back of my right heel.

Unless they are the Silver OEM ones my car comes with.
Those got thrown away and replaced with black carpet mats. Lol

It's like a work truck vinyl floor option that you are for some reason opting to put in your 100k+ cars footwells. That doesn't make sense to me, once I tried nice ones on your recommendation Steve I haven't looked back....heck I imported Audi exclusive mats just so I had perfect ones.

I work in a dirty, dusty environment and I just leave the carpeted mats in. I think I even had some hydraulic oil on my work boots from the stupid leaking forkilft.
Just took a pic of my mat. Even a half assed vacuum job will make it look good again.

no, i have the Lexus rubber all weather mats, and they're outstanding. they were already in the car when i got it. the carpet ones were in the trunk and i just put them in a storage room.
this is not my car but you can see what the mats look like (and i have black interior so they don't look as odd as this brown/black contrast):
