i learned to drive in my old doc martins... i miss the old days

 

Let me add to my previous statement....

Driving at Tampa Bay Grand Prix in their electric go-carts in flip-flops is not good at all. Get your flop stuck so that the accelerator is stuck, and you'll realize why its against the rules! Plus, it screws up your lap.

 

been wearing flip flops since i've been driving...cant say i've ever had one get stuck...

 

hate ta see the day when one gets stuck and i read about it on the news..................

 

me too...but its not gonna stop me from wearing flip flops, or anyone else in this thread, so its really pointless to preach against it...

 

I can drive in shoes and even some of my heels, but NOT flip-flops. I've had them get stuck a few times so I always just drive barefoot.

 

buncha of damn hillbillies up in here. shiiit. haha. Tennis shoes, dress shoes, whatev. But NOT "flippers" <--- who the hell says that anyways. Barefoot=suck. dirt up in your shit, hard ass peddals tearing at your foot, etc.

PS: I read the title and was thinking scuba diving flippers. Im like "how the f..."

 

no way you'll catch me driving in flip flops. i'm all about safety when i drive and i'm not one to put myself at risk of my shoes getting caught up somewhere. my favorite shoes to drive in is adidas shelltoes/superstars. i can also drive in my adidas running shoes, but i get the best grip in the shelltoes. i've been known to actually drive to work in my shelltoes and change into a different pair of shoes!

 

+1 Same here

 

I like driving barefoot best. I had to give it up for a while because I had a clutch so stiff it would bruise the bottom of my left foot. But I gave up on the idea of making enough power to make use of that clutch, and downgraded to a clutch that's a bit more reasonable.

The only compromise is wearing Sperry boat shoes. The thin brown-leather type. I prefer the pedal feel from bare feet but can put up with the thin boat shoes. I can barely drive the car in tennis shoes.
