For me -- client site day equals Ecco wingtips and office day equals Piloti PCH. Today is an office day.

I've got my Eccos on right now... Probably the most comfortable dress shoes I've ever had.

If I'm just out and about I like my Puma Speed Cats, Puma Drift Cats, and Puma Replicats.

Or my Puma Whirlwinds. Speaking of the Whirlwinds, their sole actually likes to rip up floor mats as well. Not as sharp as a good pair of dress shoes, but they like to grab and pull:

I have the Drift Cat II's - awesome driving sneakers. And even though they're not running shoes, I once ran five miles in them with relative comfort - so if you're ever caught dumping a dead hooker off near the Mexican border, but your car gets struck due to the steering lock fail (it'll happen in the Stang somehow; just a matter of time

), you could still make the sprint into Meehee-co.

Speaking of comfortable dress shoes, I bought a pair of these Kenneth Cole boots last fall and they are the most comfortable footwear I've ever owned. There's even real CF in the shoes to provide lateral support.... WHATTT!!

I wore a hole in my B6 Audi S4 carpet foormats and thats a 60K car when new, and holes in my two RSX-S's, and my GTI, and other cars..even my 66 Mustang...floormats wear, thats life. Go get the rubber all weather ones, they last longer. Put the carpet mats back in when you sell or trade. Fob batteries go out too, thats expected. Its not rocket science to chahge a fob battery. Wiper blades wear too, I put new ones on my Nismo after 16K miles...

Thanks for reminding me I need to go pick up a new pair of blades.

My floor mats also came with a dealer plastic weather mat over them. My mats still look like I bought them thiis morning. Lol.

Here ya go, use this stuff, your leather will come back to life... FRANKENLEATHER!!!!!

Leatherique Prestine Clean and Rejuvenator Oil, you get what you pay for

Leatherique Products - Detailed Image

Floor mats are from heel/toe'ing most likely, get a Nismo mat set with the rubber pad for your heel and be done with it.

Key fob just needs a battery.

You're all set then!

I just have to say, I've never seen a group of men talk so much about... shoes.

Sorry. Don't mind me. Resume thread.

Red__Zed · 01-27-2012, 09:20 AM

Sounds like just normal maintenance to me

onzedge · 01-27-2012, 09:22 AM

Floor mats are consumable and should be considered that way (just like the chin spoiler).

ZMan8 · 01-27-2012, 09:46 AM

This thread is becoming full of win

Not to thread jack, but do the some of the z's come with different floor mats. My mats have plastic where the heal goes. I have the 40th mats
