Heel gets stuck to car mat when lifting foot off clutch

forgotmyname

Use sensible shoes for driving? Every woman i know that have high heels and show shoes rather than everyday work shoes have a spare set in the car.

I don't wear high heels but I had a similar problem with my new car - I got round the problem by switching the car mats round - the driver side mat is now on the passenger side and vice versa - it works for me.

will the mat move a bit?

pull it back towards the seat base so that your heel is on the pad rather than the edge of it

Unfortunately its stuck down.

I thought about doing that but the shape of the mats are different so wouldn't fit right.

Do you want to try something different or put up with it?

You have been given alternatives but dont want to try any of them.

Are heels the biggest problem

Just to clarify - is this wear pad stuck to the car's carpet or on a separate removable mat?

My car has mats and when you remove the mats there is a wear-pad on the actual fitted carpet too.

Either way I'd just buy another mat to put on top.

I had the same problem with my corsa's clipped in mats so I took them out as you couldn't always move your foot properly.

When I bought my car the mat was not secured to the floor, it was aftermarket so did not clip onto the floor tabs. It would crumple up on the day side. I used some double sided carpet tape which made the carpet stick to the car.

Was a bit concerned that tape would leave a residue on the floor but it hasn't happened and stick a bit like stick it note. Can be removed with some encouragement but stays still

Can you put some duct tape or something similar down the edge of the mat to stop your heel catching on it???
