The kind of shoes you wear makes a difference in the driving experience ...

Bah yesterday I was going out job hunting and I had my italian dress shoes on and when I hit the pedal it takes half a second because the nature of the shoe and the leather sole :/

I have that shoe in black :/
Comparing it with my specific driving shoes... it makes a hell of a difference...

I wear dress shoes with leather soles and heels. When its cold and wet outside, the shoes no NOT slip on the pedals. Pretty good design.

Racing: Tennis shoes are fine. They give me a better feel for the clutch.

Or any tight shoe with a small-medium sized sole. My diesels are great for driving. Puma speedcats also look like a good shoe.

Put it this way I dress with a suit everyday and wearing dress shoes with a heal just feel weird. When the weekend comes around and I wear whatever the hell I want it makes a big difference.
