Personally, I can drive fine in just about any shoes I've ever worn, and
my sister manages to drive her Fiat Cinqecento (sp?) (they're *small*!)
in 6-inch platforms! But a friend of mine used to have special "driving
shoes" for driving his TVR, and my mum has only ever driven in "driving
shoes" as far as I'm aware (although she claims that's because driving
wears the soles of her shoes out, and she doesn't want to wear out her
every-day shoes).
I say do whatever makes you most comfortable....

Subject: shoes
I'm this close to getting some racing shoes.
My feet are not too big , but last night I was wearing my work shoes
which are semi-dress.
The soles are slightly wider than the actual leather shoe part and while
driving around with my wife last night I tried to take nice corner, it
would have turned out nice expect my feet got all stuck together. I
think at one point I might have managed to hit all 3 pedals at once.
It got to the point I pulled part of one sole away from the shoe and
just ended up driving on the highway to get home.
I think 99% of the problem were the shoes too wide so for the time being
until I find a nice pair of black racing shoes I'm going to keep a set
of old wing tip deck shoes in the car.
I know this all sounds silly, but has anyone else consider buying racing
shoes to drive they LBC?
Thanks
a.
