Pat,
I've had the German ones for several years and love 'em. Yes the
rubber is thicker under the heel of the gas foot. That makes the
individual water catcher rectangles not as deep as the rest of the mat
but no worries there. It also has little spaced ridges on the floor
side and they don't move around.

For most of the year in N. MI. I get into the van with snow covered
boots and the outside lip is perfect for keeping the melt contained.
Ya just have to dump it out every once in a while.

My guess is they would be pretty good for Seattle mud as well.
