most car stereo shops do carpet and some are quite thick. Its meant for covering sub boxes etc, but looks ok to me, its what i intend to use and its cheap!

Honestly! You big girl. Why fit carpet? It'll only weigh you down!

I've got carpet in my car. It reduces the wear on the heel of my slippers.

There is a guy on Ebay that does rot proof carpet. Got mine from him, but can't remember the name. Light weight, and good quality, but most important Locost. atb Chippy

I have a piece of ridged doormat where my heels go as they used to slip on the flat metal floor and may help reduce the wear on your slipper heels.
