Driving without Shoes

[summit]

[Ika]

I can't drive in anything other than hard shoes. I tried flip-flops once and they were horrendous as far as driving goes.

yeah, on roadtrips I don't wear shoes. But I also use cruise, so I don't have to use the pedals for much.

Are you in Vegas posting about peeing in a bottle?

I was sent here by myself and I'm depressed about losing $240 so I decided to take the night off, especially after walking around til 2 am l ast night. I did order room service and it arrived on a fancy rolling table. Ohhhh.

snap, sorry I brought it up....

Haha nah it's kinda funny. I thought I'd be walking out with some cash after I got that little blackjack card and memorized all the plays you are supposed to make then I got owned like a little girl. Oh well.

My clutch feels great with thin-soled shoes, so I guess I would enjoy it. I wouldn't do it though.

I only drive barefoot when I am wearing my Birkenstock's. I feel that that it is to easy to have the sole get hung up on the pedals so I the right one off when I get on the car. If I am driving longer than usual when I am wearing Birk's then I will take both off. However if I am wearing shoes I never take them off while driving.

 

[KillerCharlie]

After a long hike I always drive home barefoot.

 

[Journer]

i used to drive with a foot out the window on long drives...smart, i know

 

[funkymatt]

i used to drive my VW barefoot as much as possible. It was easier to shift for some reason.

 

[Kirby]

with flipflops, yes.

 

[Descartes]

It depends on the car. On one car it's a stick, and I can't feel pedals very well when I'm wearing sandals, so I drive barefoot unless I'm wearing tennis shoes. In the other car I usually just keep my shoes on either way.

If it's > 50F outside, I'm wearing my sandals.

 

[pyonir]

Can't stand it...feels weird. So no, i don't drive without shoes.

 

[JC86]

I do it when i'm wearing flip flops. I'm afraid the flip flops will get caught between the brakes and the gas pedal so I drive barefoot. My gf swears by driving barefoot and says it gives her a better feel for the car and the road. All I feel is the vibrations from the engine when i step on the gas.

 

[BoomerD]

I can and have before, but as baloo said, it's illegal in many states...so be careful.

What makes driving barefoot illegal?

State law.

 

[ChefJoe]

In some states it's illegal. http://tafkac.org/legal/drivin.../driving_barefoot.html

EDIT: I take that back... some states say not recommended but not prohibited anywhere (as of this site dated ~1994)
Another link says illegal in Hong Kong... and encouraged in Brazil http://www.associatedcontent.c...t_driving_illegal.html
I can recall being told in driver's ed. in Ohio that it was illegal but that was instructed by a private company with some very strange instructors.

 

[shopbruin]

i have a friend that does it. i can't do it at all, it feels dirty to me. if i'm wearing heels though i try to keep a pair of flip flops in the car so i can change shoes while driving.

 

[jiggahertz]

I'll take off my shoes and just wear my socks on long drives when I'm driving mostly with cruise control.

 

[pontifex]

i've driven on the driveway in bare feet. it feels weird.

:laugh:

I have contemplated trying this, but figured the consequences of failure probably weren't worth it.

Did this on a 3hr drive home in a snowstorm that I didn't want to get off the highway in. Also, did not go so well.

Did it for the first time on Saturday. I was up a mountain doing a snowshoe race and afterwards my feet were completely soaked from the snow, so I cranked the heat on my feet and drove home barefoot. It was pretty damn comfortable I must say; would do again!

I used to drive barefooted when i was learning to drive, it helped me getting a better feel of the accelerator and brake.
