Can do both. Barefoot: The pedals start to hurt after a while ( cos I spend at least 4.5hrs in traffic daily) Shoes : Preferred, but during rainy season the soles can get slippery cos of wet sand which also stick to the pedals. ( which I find irritating) |

I prefer driving barefoot cos I'll rather get my Foot-Mats dirty and muddy than my pedals. ![]() Though when my Shoes are clean I drive with them, cos its more comfortable for me. |

without shoes even when in suit and somee times i comee down barefooted |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by SamMilla1(m): 2:54pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
It actually depends on the kind of shoes i wear when driving. I prefer flat-footed shoes when driving but if i happen to be on a big boot, I usually pull the right one off for Break and Trottle pedals. |

I pefere drivin with my shoes since I wear mostly flats, though it is almost impossible to drive on heels. |

I learnt to drive barefooted, so by reflex, I take off whateva footwear I'm wearing once I start d ignition. I've tried driving with flat slippers or other comfy footwear, but it felt so funny, I couldn't drive 5km wit 'em on. Just do what suits you! |

I prefer driving with my bare foot because I learnt driving barefooted, i don't know how I feel if driving with shoes on. . . Thanks God, it wasn't only me because I begin to think it's a bad habit ![]() |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by Jarus(m): 3:21pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
I'm really surprised seeing many people prefer bare-foot driving here. I never imagined it's this popular. |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by bioye(m): 3:23pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
I drive barefooted simply because driving with shoes spoils shoes. |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by totalfact(m): 4:15pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
Whao, years back when i was learning how to drive, it was much convinient to drive bare-footed. How as I progressed, i discovered I had suffered a lot. only learner drive bare-footed,cos of fear. Driving is easy. Stop driving barefooted. |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by Nobody: 4:20pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
Bare-foot driving?, No! No!! No!!!, that is definetly not for MEN ![]() |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by manickal(m): 4:22pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
i drive a Hilux with bare feet because the pedals are worn out and needs hard steppin on. (i dont know why i've not changed those pedals) ![]() but my dad's new Camry is new so the pedals are very responsive. so i keep my gear on when driving it. but if i wasnt so conscious about myself, i prolly would prefer no shoes at all. ![]() |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by abhosts(m): 4:32pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
Driving barefooted feels like walking barefooted. I think a good driver should be able to drive with whatever he is wearing. |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by platinumnk(f): 4:56pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
HNIC: Yep! Shoes get tossed in the backseat when im driving! I love driving and walking barefoot. ![]() |

poster is a gal, yes? well must gals are foot drivers i tink its the diff heels of the shoes they wear it confuses the brain no offence intended, newer cars with cruise control u can drive hands only, just dont 4get the brakes!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by Pittbaby(f): 6:28pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
I used to love driving barefoot. cos I always wear heels. I moved to the states, and when winter hit that was no longer an option. Now I can drive an SUV in 4 inch heels |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by NosaHenry(m): 6:57pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
I use to think that it only women and learners that drive on bare foot. I cant drive on bare foot, but with palms iat least f it is a long distance. But you have to learn to drive with sandals for a start then you can graduate to shoes. |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by manny4life(m): 7:55pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
As for me, because of my height, I feel comfortable driving with my sneakers on. I cannot drive with or without shoes on because I have a very small feet and my kind of shoes are long but enough to accelerate nor brake. So I prefer sneakers on to give me boost and as for when I get to my destination, I just reach for my shoes and put them on or walk to the back and put them on, who cares so long you comfortable in it and you don't accelerate where you suppose to brake. I don't know about you, I have had a driving accident before because my slippers was clinging on to the brakes and had a miscalculation. With my sneakers it all rounder; Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter, its comfortable and I'm not complaining. |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by DoubleN(m): 9:34pm On Jul 07, 2009 |
Well i actually started driving with my Shoes on and later progressed to driving without them.I prefer driving with my shoes off but it depends on the type of car i am driving.If it is a Manual Transmission in Lagos traffic,then my shoes will definitely be off!An Automatic in Any Type of traffic and i can leave my shoes on.It all depends. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

~Oh Wow!! I wasnt aware so many people prefer driving w/o shoes!! I am gobsmacked to be honest! I find it very odd! I thought only some women find it comfy but reading from your replies,i see some Men are as well! ~Needless to say i've never driven barefoot,am actually scared to attempt driving barefoot. . i keep thinking what if my foot slips off the pedal. . .I learnt to drive with all sorts of shoe heels so i suppose i grew comfy & confident driving w/ any type of Heel!! ~Having said that i aint your average "Woman Driver" ie Miss Daisy/ies !! ![]() ![]() |

Have you ever checked to see what happens to the bottom of the sole of your shoe after using them to drive for a while ![]() ![]() |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by tayoast(m): 12:00am On Jul 08, 2009 |
I do drive bare feet when i started, but pple around me said it's a bad thing, not minding the fact that it makes it feel natural doing so. Later (of recent), i started with slipps and shoes but there's no major difference only that d foot mat (with d linings), obstructs when doing d clutch pedal. I can remember well, sm weeks ago, i left home with only one of d pair of slipps. Thank goodness i didn't av much doing outside d car. |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by jagwar: 12:16am On Jul 08, 2009 |
Yep driving bare-feet is definitely more comfortable 4 me especially in heavy traffic. But i can drive with shoes on aswell preferring flexible shoes like Converse & Drivers but never with slippers as there is the risk of this getting hooked underneath the pedals. |

Jerjens: where in nigeria can u use cruise control??! |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by triistar86: 8:29am On Jul 08, 2009 |
I think its a question of how you learnt how to drive and how u choose to keep driving? Although I learnt how to drive with my bare foot but as time went by I started driving with anything on. Just couldn't go through the stress of having to take off my shoes anytime I need to drive. So I drive in whatever way I find myself getting into a car. Logically I usually have shoes or even flip flops on almost all the times and the few times I dont have anything on I still drive that way. So I guess it all depends on what you get yourself accustomed to. |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by nike4luv(f): 9:19am On Jul 08, 2009 |
It is illegal to drive barefoot in the UK, so if i were you, il keep my shoes on lol, I keep my shoes on no matter what, if you are wearing heels, then pack your slip ons along!! ![]() |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by FBS: 9:29am On Jul 08, 2009 |
Foot (or in socks) all the way. Even in my dreams, I was never comfortable driving with shoes. ![]() |
Re: Shoe Or Foot Driving Which One Is The Best ? by san26dy(f): 9:33am On Jul 08, 2009 |
Hmmm, I prefer driving with shoes on. Heels, boots, it doesn't matter. I just can't drive barefeet. |
