Floor Liners: Husky and others

Has anyone purchased floor liners made by someone other than Husky? I loved the Husky liners I purchased for my Ford Escape, so I bought a set for the F150. I hate them. They fit poorly and don't cover the floor well enough to keep salt/snow/mud/rain/etc off of the carpet. I know there is at least one other brand that produces something similar to the Husky Liner and they are more expensive. Can anyone comment as to how other products fit?
I am not talking about floor mats - rather the liners that turn up at the edges to hold water that is tracked in by your shoes.

Weathertech's all the way for the front. Pricey for just the fronts at $90, but they fit perfectly. The online guys play games with the front and back mat prices to say "we're cheaper" while still getting you for around $170+ for the front and back set.

I actually drilled 2 holes above the "waterline" of the liners closest to the seats and used 2 ZIP ties to tie down the stock floormats over the top of the liners. Gives a nice appearance with the carpet on top, without letting the stock carpet mats slide around all over under the brake pedal! Plus I can just pick the liners up and shake them out with the mats attached whenever.

For the back seats, I decided to just go to home depot and got some clear carpet vinyl carpet cover for the kid/dog zone that's in the back. It took about 20 mins to cut a custom piece that's perfect back there that goes all the way under the front seats too. Total cost about $8.

Weathertechs all the way! I love mine. They fit great and hold a TON of water/mud/muck. The color match is better than in my picture. They also cover that impossible-to-vaccuum crack where the carpet meets the door sill.

Like has been said go with the WeatherTechs, you won't be sorry. I put the Husky's in my wife's Grand Cherokee and the way the floor is they fit great. My dad's old F150 and several of the trucks at work (all Fords) the Husky's just don't seem to hold up. IMO the WeatherTechs can't be beat.

Weathertech! I got mine directly from Weathertech and paid about $145 for the front/rear set. I 've had mine about a year and a half, so the price may have gone up, or maybe I caught them on sale. I won't use anything else.

I bought the Husky's for my 07 Supercrew. Love the one piece mat for the back seat, fits great. I also like the middle hump cover for the front seat. The driver and passenger front leave something to be desired. Does Weathertech make a front hump mat? And how about the back seat area, is it a one-piece mat that goes all the way to the door sill like the fronts do?

Another vote for the WeatherTechs. They are outstanding for the front. I like them better than the Huskys for the front, but I like the Husky's better in the rear. I only went with the fronts.

Now I understand why I recieved an email from weathertech saying that "due to the popularity of the product" it may take two weeks to ship. I'm cringing right now every time someone gets in my truck with those useless stock mats.

Ive got weather techs up front in mine and love them. However wish the passenger side had a floor clip like the drivers side does, everytime the little lady gets out she shifts it a bit and it doesnt sit up against the center hump I keep reaching over to pull it back over.

I have some crappy no name brand ones, but was wondering...What happens when you have someone sit in the middle?
