I have both the weathertech floor liner mats and the factory rubber ones plus the carpet ones. Just got a new set of the OEM carpet ones although they are not as nice or lush as first set that came with it. The floor liner type are perfect for winter and snow but also good for tearing up the heel of your boots. Me personally, I use the carpet ones 95% of the time and vacuum it weekly. The rubber ones are only if it is going to snow.

With degenerative arthritis in my ankles and living in Mn. working with the dogs most every week I pretty much live in boots most of the year, and have always had WT type mats.

Everything from custom Russell Moccasin Grand Slam Sheep Hunters built 2" taller for bogs to semi dress boots



Kenetrek Everstep Ortho which are the Mountain Extreme with ankle braces



Crispi boots with Ankle Bone Support System are my go to everyday boots



But for the office and dress am a bit of a Cordovan Shell hoe and wear both dress boots and shoes in Shell. Yes, I often wear boots with a suit especially in the winter. Rare Walnut Shell



And of course the more common #8 shell, AKA Cordovan



Never had an issue with rubber mats wearing the heels on any of them. It may be time to look at some different boots? I'm guessing you're talking about soft rubber heels

I only wear cowboy boots and am 6’’02”, so the seat is far back. I’ve found that the right heel gets scratched up if there is any dirt on the mat. Kind of the same area where some factory carpet mats have the vinyl or leather patch on them. On a rare occasion I will wear snow boots but not often.

Those lace ups are pretty sweet though!
