![]() Anyway, my 2 cents' worth! If I am driving in heels I kick them off onto the passenger side and go barefoot. It is hellish driving in heels. When I was a delivery driver for Scotts Spare Parts a few years ago, I started out wearing my usual slip on shoes. The clutch was so heavy in the Daewoo Cielo POS that I went to Rebel and bought a pair of joggers with support just under the toes as well as a thicker heel. Fantastic, stopped my feet from aching. In my rolla though, her clutch is nice and light so I either go Blunnies, sneakers, sandals or barefoot, depending on my mood ![]() And as for barefootedness, when I got done for driving unrego'd I had no shoes on. The cop asked me to get out of the car and I was like "ouch ouch ouch!" on the gravel road. He didn't say a thing about it...

Well if a cop does try to book me I'll argue that I have bad ingrown toenails and's its hell to do anything with shoes on. That or I can't operate the pedals properly with shoes on.

Barefoot for me, more feel of the pedals and more comfortable.
My feet spend enough time in workboots so when ever i get the chance I'm barefoot

All I know is I learnt the hard way that when you drive an L9000 with 12 Falcons on the back the muffler under the floor being fed by 14 litres of Detroit Series 60 is gonna make the floor hot! After that I started buying better quality thongs (the cheap rubber ones melted to the floor!)
So, having progressed to the Kennie 604 it's Fila Bangkok copy thongs all the way. In the ute, whatever shoes are on hand but I do kinda like the rubber studs on the metal pedals when I'm barefoot - massage works well when the Boss is idling. |
