Question foxboot or catchalls?

i'm in CA, i don't have a lot of problems with snow, mud and prolonged rains since i don't live in mtn or flood areas but i still want to protect the interior carpet. I was wondering if i really needed the extra expense of foxboots or if catchalls worked just as well if you don't live in extreme weather areas..I know foxboots are mostly black and the catchalls are color coded to the carpet, but i'm not that concerned with that aspect.. opinions?

I've got the Catch-alls in my truck and the carpet still looks like brand new after 2 years. Unfortunately here in Ohio we have to deal with snow and salt and mud and they do a great job. I would recommend them.

Thumbs up Weather Boots

I agree they are a little pricey, but all of the others that I looked at seemed kinda cheap. The Boots fit like a glove and don't get in the way like some products do. I live in VA and we get all kinds of stuff plus with hunting, fishing, camping and skiing it suits me well. Hope this helps.....by the way the owner is the guy who answers the phone, they sent me the wrong product at first and he calls to see what my problem was with getting it to fit, because they are custom made to your truck specs. Pretty impressive......Hope this helps

i'm sure either would work fine. appreciate the replys. The fox boot looks like it covers more area, primarily the door sill.. it looks like the vinyl is starting to wear at that point and if the boot covers that, it would be a definite plus, even though it's more bucks...sure would be nice to see both in person.. that's what i hate about a lot of accessories.. you're pretty much forced to order them from a web page or catalog. Sometimes the product ends up not being what you thought it was going to be

If you have a 4 Wheel Parts Performance Center near you, you can go in and check out the catchalls. I know the one over here in Cleveland has them out for display.

we don't have s**t where i live. There's one place that carries stuff but it's almost all special order and their prices are ridiculous. They don't have any boots at the store at all.

Closest place after them is approx 1.5 hours away. will check and see if they have one of those 4 wheeler places you mentioned. thanks..

FoxBoots Are the best thing ever invented.....the super thick plastic never will need to be replaced, the carpet pad once worn through can be replaced for $13.00, Never have a problem with water sand mud or snow. the fox boot takes care of them all.....

I had my Husky liners in 3 different trucks. Never had to replace anything on them.

I have husky liners and Fox weather boots. I like the Fox weather boots better. The clean up is easier on the Husky liners.

The Fox weather boots are better in the fact that they stay in place all the time. The Husky liners would slide around a bit.
This is my 3rd set of Husky liners in 13 years, so I was 100% Husky liner before I tried the Fox Weather Boots. I figured that I'd try them, as I got them used from another Member.

I still have the Front Husky liners if I am in lots of mud at a site, so they are easier to clean with soap water and a hose. I take out the Fox weather boots, and put those in for the short time.

So with your usage of not a lot of snow, mud, and heavy rain, I'd suggest going with the Fox weather boots.

I bought one of your sets of husky liners and they are still in use on my moms ranger....believe it or not...i give husky liners the value mark but the fox boots give it more of a anytime floor mat, and they are carpeted.....

I ordered the factory catch alls from oemfordparts.com and I love 'em. I have heard that the catchalls that you get anywhere else cover the foot pad that is underneath the parking break though so I would look into that.
