Shaw007: It actually depends on the type of shoes I'm wearIng .. .If i'm wearing corprate shoes or footwears with Laces that wont go off easy,drive with shoes,

but if I'm wearing slippers or maybe even sandals,subconsciously it'LL be bare-foot on d pedals,without me actuaLLy fully knowing. . .

And i beLIeve,generally it kinda depends on d type of shoes ur wearing!
spoke my mind.

I can drive with or without shoe equally well. But I'm always careful when driving with palm slippers

There was an instance I was driving with my palm slippers. I removed it and drove with my bare feet. Something almost tragic happened: the palm slippers went behind the brake pedal.
When I wanted to match the brake, the slippers prevented it from going down. I was quite fast and a car was ahead of me. I had to swerve. Luckily for me the brake worked before any collision.

This is terriable!

I can never drive without shoes, done it once (never again) and it felt really weird.

I even drive with me heels on, only if I'm not driving anywhere too far though.

Plus I've got boot-slippers to wear for long distance driving.

I learned driving without my shoes on n got used to it until I lost my wedding ring in d process of putin off d shoe before driving and this taught me a lesson so I started wearing my shoes when driving. I got used to within a day. Its good for one to learn driving a car with d shoes on so that there won't be d hassle of tryin to put on and put off d shoes after and before driving.

Re: Driving With Or Without Shoes by oluite(f): 6:47pm On Dec 29, 2012
I can't remember ever driving without shoes.I always drive with my shoes.The first time I thought of driving without shoes,I had on heels and no other shoes around but the cold feel of my bare feet quickly changed my mind,was so cold and uncomfortable.I hated it and drove with the heels.

aieromon: After friends laughed at me for lacing and unlacing my shoes before driving, I had no other choice than to adapt.

I can only imagine!
Re: Driving With Or Without Shoes by skyfall: 7:25pm On Dec 29, 2012
It's more common with women & it's to have a better feel of the pedals. But it's not ergonomic as it strains the wrong muscles and bones of the feet.

I did it briefly while I was learning driving with a manual trans. Volkswagen beetle many many years ago.

masterpiecer: All the ladies driving with bare feet obviously do not drive long distance, cos if you do, ur foot will hurt and burn after too much friction.

Ah! So men have special padding on their own feet that's why they don't feel the friction? I had no idea.

You learn something new everyday I tells ya

I actually feel more comfortable driving bare footed, I wear shoes to drive, only if they're sports shoes, and avoid driving with my corporate shoes cos it chops the right heel rather fast.

PS: I've. Actually driven from lagos to Abuja barefooted.. But paid dearly for it after some days
Re: Driving With Or Without Shoes by pekelepekele(m): 7:43pm On Dec 29, 2012
Always drive without your shoes on . Most people that hit people's bumper in the traffic are the ones driving with their shoes on. When you are driving without shoes it will give you full control of your pedals and you can easily feel how much you have step on the pedals.

I prefer driving without my shoes.i feel more comfortable driving without so i can easily step on the clutch and break on time.the shoe will be inhibiting me especially on lagos roads where mad driving is now becoming normal

While taking driving lessons,I usually take them off but I remember a time when I totally forgot and hit the road wearing flip flops,on the very moment I remembered,you all needed to see how I instantaneously flinged the flip flop out of my feet!...lol...like it was HOT,molten metal!...trying to get used to wearing shoes now;its better that way
Re: Driving With Or Without Shoes by Freiburger(m): 10:58pm On Dec 29, 2012
I once tried it, but i can tell you it is not something i'll attempt next time. The shoes even help in applying more force to the pedals.
