Driving Barefoot?
Where I live we wear flip flops 99% of the time. So when I drive the Boxster it's always barefoot. Slide off the flops and find my feet feel the pedals much nicer. always have excellent grip, especially for clutch control. Am I the only guy who drives this way,
Aloha for now!!:) |

Barefoot for me always! Size 14s don't fit well in the footwell with the extra rubber. |
Not too often barefoot but I drive mine in flips frequently!
|
If I am in flip flops I always take them off in the boxster.
|
with my 9.5 eeee feet, there is just enough room for shoes with my boxy, in my Miata it is a different story. during the day it is flip flops for the most part and they don't interfere with the Porsche pedals. I guess there are more tall Europeans than Asians, but I may be wrong on that generalization (probably not).

I wear flips flops almost year round too and yes I go bare foot less I risk making myself look like I can't drive a stick properly. With flip flop on it's just a mess.
|
I sometimes will drive barefoot. However, spending some time in FL has made me more than comfortable with driving in flops. Things get a little tricky when you are trying to drive with combat boots.
One time as a younger man I was a ski instructor and drove a van in ski boots... now that was great. |
since I am 6'5 I drive barefoot whenever I can because the extra legroom always helps!
|
Barefoot is the way to go - especially in a warm climate.
Not to +1 Jake, as he is still growing, but my size 15's always feel better without shoes on while driving the Box! :cool: |
I'm in flip flops when I'm not in boots and if I'm in flip flops i drive bare foot.
|
Generally no, I don't go barefoot. Favorite shoes for driving the Box are Onitsuka Tiger Tai Chis.
|
Tevas for me :).
|
I've driven in my sock feet, but never barefoot.
I've tried driving in my Caterpillar work boots before. That was ugly. If I went to depress the brake pedal I would just about hit all three pedals at once. Hence the sock feet. Normally it's just standard Nike gym shoes. |
So now the question is, where does everyone put their shoes?

And I don't like driving the box barefoot - I do it, but feel like it is less smooth. Never minded it in other cars. Sperry topsiders are my favorite. |
In the footwell on the passenger side. Usually drive alone. Also keep a few clean rags there too. I'm fanatical about a spotless windshield...

I thought I was the only one, then there're others too. I can only drive a stick shift car with shoes or bare feet, not with flip flops because I can't feel the pedals. I can drive an automatic with flip flops, but it doesn't feel very great.

I'm in San Diego, so it's flips almost year round
If I am doing some performance driving, I wear shoes as the heal of the flips sometimes drag on the carpet I get good feel with flips, I wear Crocs brand , they are super comfortable |
