Have you tried this?
 

Driving without shoes.

I'm a shoe person.
Have been since I was a wee one, prone stepping on sharp things all the time.
Last week my dawgs were keeling myself, so I de-shoed.

Sweet liberation.

There's a feeling of control, like the difference between using arctic mitts and bare hands to steer.




Doitnow.

i pulled a car into teh garage this evening sans shoes and it doesn't feel liberating. just odd. :(

Maybe your power is teh lacking?:confused: :D

Did it all the time in the '70s

(Try driving with 4" platforms)

Driving without shoes can get extra fines tacked onto a moving violation in some states.

I don't do it because I'm used to driving with shoes. Taking them off changes my feel for the pedals.

good enough reason for me. :)

Come to India....everyone drives without shoes lol. Ive done it before....try working the clutch brake and gas...and oh yea parking brake with ur foot :D

I thought that was WV? :D My wife does it, I hate it. I'm a shoe person.

I'm gonna check that out, Nick.

In Minnesota, at least, it ain't.

A couple of years ago I asked an Illinois Highway Patrolman if barefoot driving was illegal, and he said, "We don't exactly promote it, but no, it's not illegal." When I was younger (hey, it was the '60's) I hardly ever wore shoes in the summer and I've pretty much always driven shoeless (and sockless) on long trips.

That's no problem with karate feet.:D

I once tried to play video games with gloves.
Then I took them off.
Yeah. It's kinda like that. [/sierramist]

That's one of the reasons that racing drivers have special shoes.

Another reason is fireproofing.

My friend Graeme wears race boots even for road driving because the pedals in his Westfield are so close together that you can't actually press just one pedal if you're wearing big clunky DMs.
