Driving Footwear

How much attention do you pay for your feet when you drive? You probably don't dedicate too much thought for it. Footwork should be automatic when you drive, and thoughts about which foot and pedal to use should go away after a few practice drives.

What you put on your feet is nearly as important to your footwork, and it guarantees that your footwork will be good enough. For example, not wearing anything on your feet while driving is very dangerous and even illegal in some countries.

Other footwear items, like Crocs, are also dangerous and are highly not recommended for driving. They can slip away and cause you to lose control over your car. In an emergency, it can be a real danger. Only drive with shoes or close sandals that won't fall off your feet when you drive.

When you buy new shoes, there is an immediate change on your driving. For example, I recently bought new sandals, ones with a thick sole. When I drove with them, I could hardly feel the pedals and I had to readjust my driving. Watch out for this when you buy a new pair of shoes.

Have a great weekend,
