the only thing I can't do is drive shoeless. I can drive with spike shoe, soccer book, cartoon wrapped around my foot, what else is there? but shoeless from my day 1 on the front sit, it's been shoe all the way.
you are not weird. the first rule of driving is get into a comfortable position. worrying about whether the shoe is obstructing your contact with the pedal or not negates that. My take.

Happy Sunday folks,

I was wondering if I'm the only one that feels weird driving with shoes on. Not necessarily heels, but any form of footwear. I feel obstructed, like, I won't drive properly if I'm not barefooted. Am I the only one?

No you are not the only one who feel comfortable, driving barefoot.


Driving barefoot is one of the act which is NOT termed as A CRIME in any part of the wolrld.

This is common to people who learnt driving with a manual gear car........If during your driving lesson you are fond of taking off your shoes, you would most likely feel uncomfortable driving with shoes on throughout your entire driving lifetime.
i learnt this from my Dad, Thats why i can drive with Denrele shoes on

I've always driven with shoes.

From a safety standpoint, it's not advisable. In the event of a crash, shoes will go a long way to protecting your feet from the pedals, which may be forced into the car, and could cut your feet. Sever your major artery, and you could bleed to death before rescuers could cut you free.

If you feel uncomfortable driving with shoes or any other form of footwear, then you need to reverse that habit. I don't know of any driving school (exc. Nigeran ones) who's instructors will permit you to take driving lessons barefoot. Or any examiner who would put you through your driving test with your feet exposed.
you're very right. I never knew that people actually drive bare feet. so weird

I used turtle in replace of accelerator.

It depends on the kind of shoes am wearing and the distance I will drive because I sweat on my feet but it's bad driving without shoes on
Re: Driving With Or Without Shoes by chiasoka(m): 11:22am On Apr 25, 2016
Driving without shoes is ideal, even though that flat soled-shoes are still okay.

I love when I press my turtle with my left foot. The turtle usually responds better and I drive faster.
