Corban Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hi all, just wondering what everyone's favourite shoes are for driving. Do you use normal every day shoes? If so what do you prefer. Or do you use branded Driving Shoes, if so why and which do think are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Decent pair of trainers for me every time! Used to wear "normal" leather shoes when driving for work, but even then would often put trainers on if driving a long way, and stop and change just before reaching my destination, as Reeboks etc don't really work with a suit and tie for a business meeting!😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I literally only have one pair of everyday shoes... Cheap pair of Regatta walking shoes, they do for everything, walking, driving, etc... Driving in 'nice' shoes for funerals can be interesting though, no pedal feel, no grip and no give in the leather... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioneon Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Blue suede Samba's but that's what I wear 99.9% of my shoe wearing time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 most of my driving is normal black leather shoes because I have to wear shoes like that for work ( and I can't be bothered with changing shoes when I get there. No problem driving with them but the edge of the heel seems to go though the floor maps pretty quick because the edge of heel is right angled with no curve to it.

ElliotReid Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I like my North Face Hedgehogs plus a pair of Dainese trainers I have. I cannot drive in motorcycle boots as I have no feeling of the pedals in them, though strangely I can feel the brake lever and gear lever through them when riding a bike.

MusicalChris Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Puma Speedcat or Driftcat trainers, thin sole, rounded heal, very comfortable and good pedal feel. I wear these trainers anyway but are great for driving also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozz Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 When i went for a haircut, last June i was wearing crocs, i decided to look round a car lot and ended up test driving ( in crocs) and eventually buying my Focus. Missus said it was the most expensive haircut ever. Moral is :- i drive in whatever is on my feet at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I use a pair of F1 boots combined with some racing gloves and flame-retardant overalls. On the way to work I chuck a helmet on just in case 😂. Seriously though... why? 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavroz Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Trainers all the way. Best ever feel for me though is barefoot or with socks on but it starts to hurt your feet after a while, especially braking and clutch pedal dipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 A mate of mind always used to drive in his socks - hope you changed yours more often than he did - phew!!😀😀 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I haven't had another pair of shoes with as much control since! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron583 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I like ones with a decent heel, so that my foot is nice and planted 🙂 Skateboarding style shoes work really well for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
