Here's my solution. I found the rubber stair tread cap at Harbor Freight, for about $5, and added 2 strips of self-stick Velcro to the back. The rubber was a bit too long, but some heavy shears took care of that. It's been in place for 2 months now, and seems to be holding up well.
Thanks for the tip. Just installed mine today.

I just ordered the WeatherTech custom 2017 Bolt front floor mats (all that's available) for $109.95 along with the trunk cargo container blocks. Total shipping of $27. Not cheap! I'll post a picture when they arrive so we can see how well it covers the foot rest. I suspect that I might need to go to FleetFarm or Harbor Freight to get some rubber matting to extend the foot rest based on the pictures on WeatherTech's website, but maybe I'll get lucky.

I hate to tell you, but you probably should start shopping for some rubber matting. Others on this forum already have purchased the custom WeatherTechs for the front seats and the dead pedal is only 50% covered.

Yep, that's what it looks like from the pictures and what I was assuming I would need to do. Kinda want to get it in there so I can do measurements first though.
 
Cheap option for dead pedal coverage

I just purchased Costco mats on sale (Woodland CA Costco) for only $10. (Reg $19 - $9 discount). A huge section of the dead pedal is nicely covered.
If you like this look, then I could see how the dead pedal portion could be cut out and secured with velcro if you have your mats already. But then you would have a lot of left over floor mats...

Great Idea, I bought mine at Harbor Freight for $2.49 and I had the velcro at home. Easy, simple and cheap.

Great Idea!, I bought mine at Harbor Freight for $2.49 and had the velcro at home. Simple, easy and cheap. Thank you for the post.
 
I have been looking for an alternative for a while. Here is a great solution I found:
Amazon.com: K&K Sapphire Automotive Floor Mat - Universal, All-Weather, Nonslip, deep Dish, Heavy Duty, Car Auto SUV Van Truck Trimmable Odorless, 5-Piece Set - Color Options (Chrome on Black): Automotive
It has color options too.

So Weathertechs and/or Huskey Liners about a year away (by my estimation). Meanwhile, it hasn't rained this much in SoCal since the 90's. My light gray interior is taking a beating, especially at the left foot rest, where the floor mat does not cover.

Here's an actual foot rest from a Subaru. On the Bolt there is actually a hard plastic plate under the carpet at the foot rest. Poked a couple of holes and used a couple of plastic push trim rivets.

I am a tightwad rancher. I found an aluminum (aluminium) diamond plate truck tool box in the ditch... a bit dented, but a fine resource! 1 dollar tree velcro tape on the back and I made this for total 1 dollar! 🤠⚡👌2019 white LT.

Good job.I purcahsed a 2021 Bolt Lt2 and was surprised that there was carpet on the footrest.I live in Canada and the carpet would be wasted after one winter driving and road salt.Like i posted before i used a $1 vinyl floor self stich on my car.But if i could get a diamond plate like yours i would change it
