floor mats

I need some new floor mats for my 1996 F150. The truck is an XLT with gray carpet. I would like some that have the long pointy things on the back so they don't slide around. The truck currently has mats with pink deer on them. They gotta go.
I would prefer carpet mats to rubber since 99% of my driving is on the road.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to a brand or where to get them?
Terry

I had OEM carpet ones in my 92 F150. I made the dealer throw them in when I bought the truck new. No pics though. They were much better quality than any aftermarket ones I have ever seen.

I have the Husky custom fit mats in mine; they're awful. I wanted Weather Tech brand, but they're not made for our trucks. The drivers side mat slides around too much and constantly gets jammed under my clutch pedal.

Here is a follow up if anyone is interested. I ended up buying LLoyds Velourtex Mats from autobarn.net. I have had them about a week.

These mats fit very well. They say they are custom made for the vehicle and I am pleased with the fit. Velourtex is the economy offering from Lloyds, there are two grades above these mats. Velourtex is "An outstanding value and popular-priced original equipment replacement mat, with a heavier more dense face than factory mats" to quote their website. My impression is they are about the same quality as factory mats, not better than them. But factory mats are normally quite good so I'm fine with them.

They don't have the pointy spikes that I expected to keep them in place. Instead, the back of the mat has a rubber type feel, almost like the material you buy to put in a tool box to keep tools from sliding around. It seems to work well but I've only had them a short time. The box they came in had some plastic hooks. You are supposed to screw the hooks to the truck carpet and hook them to the new mats to hold the mat in place. I didn't want to make holes in my carpet, so the hooks will not be used in my case.

These mats cost 69.90 with free shipping and no tax. More expensive than what you would pay at WalMart but these do fit very well and are probably better quality.

These mats are made in the U.S.A which is a plus for me.
