Are custom-fit floor liners worth the extra cost over universal mats?

Verified-purchase consensus generally favors custom-fit liners (WeatherTech, Husky, LASFIT) for coverage and stay-in-place fit, since they're molded to a specific vehicle's footwell and contain spills better. Universal mats like Motor Trend FlexTough and CAR PASS cost a fraction as much and rate well for the money, but reviewers note they require trimming and don't seal the footwell edges as completely. If you live with snow, mud, or kids, the custom liners carry stronger buyer satisfaction.
