Maybe the =E2=80=9Cwhy=E2=80=9D of why the covers fall or are pushed off may=
 be more evident from this exercise. Granted I have big feet. Pedals are les=
s then 4 inches center to center. My shoes tight against each other are more=
 than that. Not a realistic position for street driving let alone more aggre=
ssive driving. Spread the shoes a bit(one inch apart) and the shoe/ pedal po=
sition is off set on the pedals. Combine that with slipping your foot left o=
r right or using the toe of your shoe, those little rubber pedal covers get t=
weaked in all directions. Next thing you know they are laying on the floor. I=
 would imagine the zip-tie solution or a good adhesive would help a lot. Ano=
ther solution is turn your ride into a garage queen (not!) or drive it as I d=
id for many decades, with no shoes on your feet, Hawaiian style! It=E2=80=99=

On a recent 'Wheeler Dealers' episode they re-furbed a Datsun 'Fairlady' 
sports car (tinier than even a 100). Ant's feet couldn't work the 
pedals, as there was barely a gap between the accelerator and brake 
pedals. His solution was to take the brake pedal shaft, which was bent 
so as to place the two pedals close, and with a vice and a BFH he bent 
it the other way ... 'Job done!' as Ant would say.

I've bought several pairs of shoes solely because had narrow, tapered 
toe sections.
