Do you take off your shoes when you drive? I know some people need to feel the pedals when they drive...especially MT cars.
As for me I drive with whatever is on my feet. Dress shoes on work days, rubber slippers or running shoes on non-work days and during off hours.

Normally for me its whatever I happen to be wearing(boots dress shoes, tennis shoes etc..)... but I do have a pair of DocMartin dress shoes(work) that make feeling the pedals a nightmare. It then becomes more of a muscle memory thing than a feeling when I am in those shoes.. I am tempted to wear some thin soled moccasins from now on though!

When I go for a serious drive I select shoes with a smooth thin sole, preferabley thin rubber, with rounded sides and no heel. Hard to find these days, as most of these types of shoes have all kinds of fancy gizmo blocks etc. on them. I'd get racing shoes but they are rather expensive.

I bought a pair of Adidas Samba indoor soccer shoes... very good feel and you can actually wear them to do other things unlike racing shoes

Steel toed combat boots for me most of the time When I'm not in uniform it is usually tennis shoes, sandals, or Sketcher boots. The only time I've driven her without shoes is when I'm moving her to give her a bath.

You should try some pumas, the speed cat are nice and quite comfortable for walkin around here and there too. They r made for driving and have good feel and control. You can see them at:

i bought the speedcats as well...but before i would wear pilotis or my adidas Monaco GPs. they are replicas of the 1970s F1 race shoe. they even have "Goodyear" on the sides, and the F1-GS D3 tread on the soles.
i am a sucker for shoes.

i could not pull off the bright red, so i got the lo-top black ones.

Converse Chuck Taylors, light, thin rubber, and thin width, easy to shift. But I'm like Mr. Rogers, if it's rainy or something I carry boots, and change in the car.
