I wear leather soled dress shoes 4 days a week on mine and they are often wet (Oregon) and haven't slipped on them.
Are yours the digital fit or the regular all season version? The digital fit ones dont get grippier, actually Id say they are thinner material than the regular version.

I am not bashing mine, just explaining the faults Ive found with them. I would still buy them again in my next vehicle in a heartbeat.

I bought mine recently and they have definitely have clips that connect to the factory attachment points.

Mine are Digital fits. They are grippier than new. Just compared driver mat to the back seat mats (also digital fits) that are still slippery because they never get used. Have had them in use just over a year.

Do you have digital fits? Can you take a picture of the clip for me? Thanks! Would love to add some clips to mine if they'll send them out...

Same here, came with clips.

Dr bryan, sure hope you're right about the slipperiness with leather soles...

Jealous. Would love pictures to see if they can be retrofitted into mine.

Do you have carpets of linoleum in your house?

The carpets retain all the dust. with rubber
floor liners the AC blowing into the footwell
will be kicking up all the mud you grind up to
a fine dust and the part that does not go into
your lungs ends up all over the dash.

My answer to the heel prints is a heelguard:

Will try to remember to take some pics when I get back home tonight. But they look exactly like the round clips on the OEM mats. A bottom and top piece that click together with a hole in the middle.

The digifit mats I have came with a 1" hole (or so) where these clips are then fitted to (insert one on the bottom side then clip the top one on to it over the top side).

I would love to get a hold of these clips. Mine, which were bought a little over a year ago, didn't come with them.

My floor liners don't have the clips either. Would be nice to have.
