Am I the only one? After a long day of work I tend to like to drive with no shoes on at all. It actually makes it easier to control. Some of my friends give me weird looks for it: although Im not sure if its because Im driving with no shoes or because me feet smell:confused:

If you do wear shoes do you have a favorite pair to wear for driving? For me its my old beat up pair of Chuck Taylors... cant get more comfortable than that.

i use either my old school vans shoes or no shoes and no socks. i have a pair of running shoes that i use sometimes, but it's harder to control.

if you get caught without shoes on, you should be slapped! Whenever someone walks up, just slip your shoes back on

I like it it feels with no shoes also. I typically wear flip flops and just slide them off when I drive.

I have an old pair of shoes that I like to drive with. If I am going somewhere and wearing boots I HAVE to take the driving shoes because it is VERY hard to drive with big clunky boots.

Old School convers or Newbalance. Driving with out shoes is weird and illigal (for a reason, i might add)

i usually wear some skechers tennis shoes or dress shoes, works pretty good. tried my taekwondo shoes (similar to wrestling shoes) a few times and it's nice, you can feel a lot more.

of course, if you wanna be like takumi, you have to wear new balance

I dont drive with shoes only when I'm wearing sandals that day. Sandals have no heel support.

I just wear shoes when I drive. except for this time me and my friend where crusing around in his mom's lexus (is400 if memory serves). he worked gas and brake, and I steered from the passenger seat. it was kinda fun...

I drive barefoot. Ever since I had to (because the sandals I was wearing lodged between the floor mat and the clutch, not allowing it to engage) and I tried to go back to sneakers, it just didn't feel right. So now I drive barefoot.
