Adjusting or modifying the pedals to make this easier helps, as does a proper driving shoe that gives you good "feel".

Pumas are for poseurs. I wear these:

Your comments about my "proper" driving shoes made me go out and buy a pair of these:

These are "proper" driving shoes as well. They just aren't fireproof.

At least there fire red.

LunaZ 01-25-2011 07:57 AM

Now that I think about it, fireproof shoes were a waste of time and money.
I always ended up burning my feet at the beach, anyway.

I went to Zappos to get that picture and now I have like 3 pairs of other shoes in my cart. Damn you, Luna! :mad:

How do the sizes run on these pumas? I want to order a pair but am not sure what size to get. I usually where an 11.5 or a 12, more times than not an 11.5. I also have narrow feet. Thanks. Also what pair do you recommend?

It's funny, except for dress shoes and boots, nearly every pair of tennis/walking/regular shoes, works well for me.

Minor detail: If you are using the side of your foot you may want to watch out for deep sole tread. Those deep ridges could stick, instead of sliding on the brake pedal and not allow you enough gas pressure. This would only be annoying, not fatal.

OP: You will get the hang of it, and will be glad you learned.

i wear piloti's when motoring my Z and G. for weekdays in my dd i wear leather slippers (or snow boots/shoes in the winter :D). the trick is to have shoes with rounded heel.

For me, Pumas tend to run about a half size small. I'm normally a 11-11.5 and I always get my Pumas in 11.5.

I have the Speed Cats, original Drift Cats (not the new ones with the offset laces), and the Replicats. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either. They're not a great walking shoe (no support) but for driving they are all very good.
